Do you honestly think he'd fail at DE in a 3-4?

Play him on the left side, like Baltimore does Pryce and Douglas.

AGAIN:

Ryan has experience in a 43, 34 and 46.

That is just one reason why he's an attractive candidate. If he feels the core of the current front 7 couldn't make the switch, we'd run a 43. People are making this a WAY bigger issue than it is.

GM

1. Pioli
2. Decosta

HC

1. Stoops
2. Ryan

DC

1. Ron Rivera

You are moving a #5 selection from the second most important position on defense to arguably the least important position on the defense. He's short and has short arms.

I think it's a horrendous idea that marginalizes him even more than if we drafted a tackle and moved Albert to G.

Ok for real:

GM - Chris Polian (although we cant go wrong with DeCosta)

Coach - Sean McDermott

So, take a less attractive HC candidate, that impacts the entire TEAM, (but runs a 43 only) instead of moving a player to a less valuable position.

Got it.

And for the ELEVENTY-BILLIONTH TIME:

Ryan has experience running a 43 and 46 as well. You guys are acting like he'd come in here and try to jam a round peg in to a square hole.

If he came and ran a 43, I'm fine with that.

If he came here and decided that a 34 was in the best interest of the team long-term, then I'm fine with that as well.

He could come here and run the mother****ing Tampa 2 for all I care, as long as this defense becomes a solid, Top 10 unit again.


As a HEAD COACH, the running of a defense would be left to the DC anyway - Christ, maybe he gets his brother to come to KC. Or anyone else who runs a 43. People are blowing this ridiculously out of proportion.

I'm not going to say one name, at least at this point, as I think many options would make sense. A great talent evaluator from an organization that excels in player evaluation is my criteria.

However, I want a NEW GM and a NEW head coach. Get away from the good 'ol boy network of recycling past failures, and get some fresh blood in here.

GM: no idea.

HC: Cowher...

Let's be honest, this isn't about Polian or Spagnuolo, is it?

Why are you even positing this? There is no way anyone could look at this team and claim that a 3-4 is in its best long term interests.

3-4 NT is the hardest position in the NFL to find bar none. We have no talent in the front 7 designed for a 3-4.

This is the exact opposite of what Herm did in New York...took a veteran team with great cover corners and a solid NT and turned it into a Tampa 2 team, and the defense got progressively worse because of it.

If you want to run the 3-4 as a look in a certain package, fine, but we should absolutely not hire anyone, DC or HC, who is a 3-4 disciple unless you are 100% certain that Dorsey is a bust, and there is no way you can know that right now.

And he's not "a player". He's a top 5 draft pick. This is about as intelligent as drafting Sam Bradford and having him run the Al Davis offense.

On the books:

Polian - Prolly not going to happen, but it's who I want.

McDaniel - IF his head is screwed on straight. IF.... There is a possibility that he thinks his shit don't stink and everything he does will work. If that's the case **** him and find someone else. But if his head is on straight, lets do it.
