So does Marty :doh!:

Saunders, to me, is the offensive equivalent of Gunther.

Great coordinator, doesn't have the broad vision to be a head coach. He's demonstrated several times to me (the way he treated Larry Johnson, going for a pass on 3rd and 1, etc.) that he often misses the "big picture".

Kirk doesn't screw around.

When they win the toss, they take the ball. When they have 1st and ten at the 40 and need 2 points to win, they throw the ball long and try to win.

I understand your viewpoint. AS was not the only one the dissed LJ IMO, deservedly so. IIRC LJ was pissed when he was drafted by the Chiefs because of Priest Holmes obvious lock on the job.
It will be interesting to see what happens, a lot of head coach mistakes have been made in the past.

If Saunders is passed on as a head coach in KC, he will no longer be the offensive coordinator. Saunders wants a head coaching job in the NFL, and he's done everything in his power to deserve one. He'll be a head coach in the NFL, whether it's in KC or not IMO.

Saunders deserves a chance as KC's head coach. What he has done with this offense CONSISTENTLY is nothing short of amazing.

Lots of coordinators have done the same and gone on to be mediocre or worse head coaches. Norv Turner is a perfect example.

Yes, Al Saunders deserves to be a head coach.

No, it should not be in KC.

It's like dumping your girlfriend and then dating her sister because she reminds you of your ex.

When Vermeil steps down, we need to start FRESH.

I agree with this, I wouldn't want to date any of my wife's sisters.






BTW, wasn't Gun deserving a chance when marty went away ?

Absolutely.

In a city OTHER than KC.

Hiring Gunther as HC in KC was a feeble attempt to "extend" the Marty years without the essential ingredient, namely MARTY.

Hiring Al Saunders as HC here would be the same.

yep...been there done that. Next year, new staff all the way.

Me thinks a new staff all together would serve best.... I agree with Parker, extending, or trying to extend without the HC is a wasted effort .........

Marty > Gun
DV > Martz
DV > ?

mmmmmm... yummy...

my wife has some smokin' sisters... :p :p :p

I can live that...Surtain covering moss, and porter being double covered by Dexter and Wesley....Then that leaves room for Curry though?

Sapp will, Knight will shadow when needed.

Start fresh?? That's the DUMBEST idea I've heard in a long, long time. The reason teams like SF, Pittsburgh and Dallas were so successful for so long is that they didn't change their offensive system. The Chiefs finally have a great offense in place - a great system that utilizes the best of every player, whether it be offensive lineman, wide receivers, QB or running back. To completely change and bring in some college coach or another re-hashed old timer would be a waste of time. This team needs offensive continuity if it's going to continue to be successful.

They don't need another Marty Clone (Edwards, Cowher, etc.) or a West Coast offense disciple. Saunders needs to be given a minimum of 2 years as head coach. He's been in the top 5 of every offensive category since he's arrived and yes, any other coach who's ever done something close to that (whether it be on the offensive or defensive side of the ball) has become a head coach. Think Billick, Fassel, Nolan, Marvin Lewis, Dom Capers, etc. I don't want to see Saunders as a head coach anywhere else other than KC.
