I don't think he's looking for a yes man. But I certainly think he's looking for someone he has ties to which is sad.

That limits the candidates of possible good HCs out there.

I think he is looking for a yes man. We'll see what we have in a GM this off season. If he signs a "yes" man and forces Cassel on him, we know what we should expect for the next several years.

Clark may not tolerate Haley, but you know damn well he loves him some Pioli.

For those claiming this is a shitty list, you fukcing check "other" to opt out! That's, of course, after you're done doing the new jack swing from my nutz.

This is what I've been told, and I don't trust all of what I hear from people anymore either, but he doesnt necessarily want full contol. He wants to coach and collaborate.

He wants to get back into a situation in a town he's familiar with, with a roster that he can win with immediately. He doesn't want to build a team.

He wants a ready-made situation.

I think he'd take the job on 2 conditions. 1) There were plans on getting a QB in place. 2) He had a lot of input in decision. Not full control. But input.

Cowher won't be saddled with any leftovers either. He'd bring in his entire staff.

I get bits and pieces of info from people in the org. from time to time.

Hmm LaCanfora, Lombardi, and so on think that Cowher is not headed anywhere unless he has full control and the team has or is in a position to draft a franchise QB.
If Clark is talking to Marty that would tell me that Clark and Pioli are not on the same page either. JMO

I'd like a young and coming assistant not named Josh McDaniels.

That said, I did not vote "other." The only one on the list polled I could accept is Ferentz. An this comes from a Cyclone fan.

Clark pretty much worships the ground Pioli walks on. But he's had a long-standing relationship with Marty. He has bounced things off him for a long, long time.

Cowher is also very close with the Hunt family. Do I think he'd end up here, not likely, but I think it's a very real option.

Of course a person could just make a more accurate list. Yeah your nuts might get a swing...at with a knife that is LOL

The Chiefs tried the "young and upcoming assistant" with Todd Haley... FAIL.

The Chiefs need someone with head coaching experience who can stand up to Fat Scott's brain dead personnel decisions.

There is needs to be a balance of power and a checks and balance system that wasn't there the past 3 years.

Someone who can stand up during the offseason and say... "We have cap room, Barry Richardson is shit... SIGN a right tackle".

Cowher is the best option.

Not only can the guy evaluate talent but he can "coach up" a team.

That's where you take a bunch of guys and get them to play above their level...

That's just not gonna happen.

Can Pioli be an option?

Where's Craig T Nelson on this list?
Where's Gene Hackman?
Where's Al Pacino?
Where's Frank Caliendo???

Ray Liotta?
