Unfortunately, I think the next GM will be from the King Carl lineage and none of those excite me at all.

I don't undestand why everyone thinks Pioli is off limits. Why? Just because he's the son-in-law of Bellicheck? He's got a cushy job with the best team in the NFL? Yes, that is really cool and why would a sane person leave that enviorment?

Because of the challenge to do it on his own.

Great excutives love to prove they duplicate their success at their next stop. They have to keep theirselves challanged.

He would have a very loyal fanbase that would embrace him. It would be a "fun" job.

He would be worshipped like King Carl never was. He would not need a bodygaurd.

Clark would offer him a bucketload of money and full control of the Chiefs.

Sure it's a long long shot but I say to you fellow Chief fans why not dream! Why settle?

To make a true splash in at GM the Chiefs should put a full court press on, wait for it.....

Bill Parcells.

The man can evaluate talent, understands how to build all three facets of the game (def, off, spec. teams). Has a firm grip on the current coaching talent in the NFL, and has a pedigree that is proven in terms of scouting to build a winner.

Sure in his past few stints as a coach, he's made gameday mistakes, but his ability to find players to fit schemes is impressive. He may cost a bundle, but this man knows how to win.

Bill Parcells is 66 years old and has retired from football 3 different times. He isn't coming here to be our GM and, really, I wouldn't want him to.

Would Marty Schottenhiemer make a good GM?

No

Yes

NO!

ROFL ROFL

That guy was such a genius.

I like pioli alot but don't know if we have what it takes to get him. What about the excutive under savage or newsome.

we need a good talent evaluator let them get the players with some feedback from herman edwards. Get an OC and let them controll the O and gunther controll the D with edwards giving little speeches perfect plan LOL jk bout edwards

And which GM duties do you see as playoff specific?
I mean, you do realize that arguing that someone would be a bad GM because they have been a bad COACH in some situations is about as relevant as criticizing ability to throw a fastball?

And in every single case they thought they could do better and ended up measurably worse.

Just so we're clear, your position is that credibility is important for Skip, but not for you?

:shrug:

Agreed, Who knows what kind of GM Marty actually be? I dont? Do you?


What I was trying to get through to Skip, before he melted down on me. It is time to remove the 2 decades of mediocrity from arrowhead and give us new life... No Carl, Marty (or his coaching bush), Edwards, Vermiel, Gunther, etc....

What is wrong with that? What is wrong with a life long fan wanting something better?

IF there has ever been a perfect time to get this ship sailing straight, this is the time, with a new GM and Coaching Staff.

Cleveland didn't improve.
Kansas City didn't improve.
Washington didn't improve.

The jury's still out on San Diego. If the Chargers win one playoff game, that will be an improvement.

That being said, his success as a head coach in the regular season doesn't qualify him to be the general manager of a football team.
