Who do you want as your next head coach?
 

Who would you like to see in KC?

I'd personally like to see Steve Spagnuola.

:clap: That would be a solid choice...

But first we have to replace the GM.... Without a new GM, the coach will fail...

1. Somebody in their 40s.
2. Somebody who has worked both sides of the ball as an AC (successfully).
3. Somebody who has worked with a solid quarterback.
4. Somebody who has worked with a winning organization.

FAX

Didn’t Spagnuolo sign a new 3 year 6 mil deal this year?

it makes no difference if Carl is still left in charge

Knowing Carl, if hes forced to fire Herm, then he would promote from within and hire Gailey.

Jim Schwartz

He's a great candidate, but it's tough to say without knowing who's available.

Jim Schwartz

Cowher or Garrett. I highly doubt those two would see the red sea though.

But those contracts can be broken for a promotion to HC... I would believe...

I know who I dont wnat to see.. Cowher, Marty or anything related to that or Carls little coaching shrub...

Tyrone Willingham

No to Cowher, yes to Garrett, I think he will be the next HC for Dallas though

GUNTHER

What's the argument against Cowher. He's the ideal selection in my opinion.

He is more of the same..... He wont bring us out of the dark ages into the modern day NFL...

I'd like to have a younger coach. Cowher's another Schottenheimer disciple.
He did have sense enough to make the necessary changes and finally win the big game at the end of his tenure in Pittsburgh, but I want a young guy.

I agree

How about Trent Green?

He might be pretty good.

FAX

Didn't you hear? Its going to be Marty!!!

:cuss:

I would agree that I do not want to see Cowher. He suffered burnout in Pittsburg. I'd like to see someone young, hungry, willing to push players, and wanting to see quality on both sides of the ball.

The guy I wanted to see just took over in San Francisco. I don't think he'll be available.

I'd rather see an offensive minded coach come in who has enough confidence to allow a DC to come in and run the defense like it needs to be run. I don't want to see any more cover 2 or zone blitzes. I also don't want to see any don't play to lose offenses.

I would also like someone with an offensive mind, and if he is clueless on defense I would like someone who will bring in a good DC and allow him to bring in good coaches. I'm sick of bringing in coaches from the buddy system, and forcing coaches to coach something they don't know.

I hope that was a joke. :eek:

Besides - he needs to stay in Washington. :D

Charlie Weis

Let's get the ridiculous and impossible out of the way...

<del>Bill Cowher
Marty Schottenheimer
Jason Garrett
Josh McDaniels
Steve Spagnoulo
Monte Kiffin
Mike Holmgren
Mike Martz</del>

Those are the names that are mentioned most around here.

Newsflash: NONE of them are coming here.



That leaves retreads like Brian Billick or Mike Nolan - or someone that 95% of the board has never heard of.

So far, the only guy that's been mentioned around here that makes any sense whatsoever is Jim Schwartz.

He's young.

He got his start under Belichick.

He believes in physical, smashmouth defense.

He has personnel experience.

I bet the 49ers are kicking themselves for picking Mike Nolan over Schwartz in 2005.

He's a guy that has to be on the list, and the top of the list at that.

i'm very interested in spagnuola...but i'd need to know that he supports an agressive offense and won't hamper his OC the way Herm does...

Bill Cowher

Steve Spagnuolo

Mike Stock...

I remember when Billick was supposed to go in Baltimore and revitalize the offense. lol

I'm not a fan of Billick, but when he had a decent QB, the offense ran just fine.

We he didn't, well, it didn't.

Jimmy Raye

I think Schwartz is an excellent suggestion, but as everyone has already stated, nothing will change unless CP is removed first.

I hate to be a rumor monger, but I've heard from 2 different sources that the intent at present is to bring in Marty as GM and Cowher as HC. I don't think it's likely, but they shouldn't be crossed off the list just yet.

I actually pushed for Carl to jump into the Billick sweepstakes once Marty resigned, but unfortunately the Ravens had pretty much wrapped up a deal with him by then.

Oddly enough, Carl's top choice was Bellichik, but Bill declined to interview for the position as he wanted to stay on the east coast. I think he was the Jets DC at the time.

We ended up with Gunther as HC unfortunately...

:clap: ROFL

Marty as GM doesn't make sense to me, especially with Cowher as coach. That's two big egos right there. Cowher is going to want control and final say wherever he goes, and I don't see Marty being that type of guy.

I'd be all for Cowher as head coach, because much like Parcells, you just know that guy is going to be respected in the locker room, is going to build a team that plays tough as nails, and is going to win. But I would be shocked to see it happen..

My pick would be Jim Schwartz

I have serious man love for Jon Gruden......Do you Love Football?!

I remember when Herm was supposed to go to KC and revitalize the defense....

look you even have LJ and JA laughin'

Nice :clap:

I HATE these types of threads becausue I always respond and never seem to get the HC I want. I remember doing the same thing during DV's last year. I said that I wanted Mike McCarthy then. I actually thought there was a shot being that he was in KC for awhile and hoped that Carl liked him. I got Herm ****ING Edwards instead...:cuss:

What about Rex Ryan? I love the way Baltimore plays defense.

While leaving the offense alone, because as he said,"I'm not stupid." :rolleyes:

He's Marty and Herm, he just had 20 years of loyal ownership to get over the hump.

Well said.

Brian Schottenheimer

Interesting....:hmmm:

Mike Tomlin!11111111111111

Also, what about Gregg Williams?

Anybody of this list:

Cowher
Schottenheimer
Holmgren

Heck I'd even take Dennis Green? Yes "THE BEARS ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!
NOW IF YOU WANNA CROWN THERE A**ES, CROWN EM! BUT THE BEARS ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!"

*All these coaches have one thing in common, they know how to win. The Chiefs need to hire a winner. I say focus on the most important thing winning. Don't get too carried away on some of the mistakes they made in the past. Every coach makes mistakes even the best of the them.

Not true. Cowher mellowed over the years and actually understood the importance of offense, IMHO, we'd be very lucky to get him back in KC.

He has no interest coming here

IMO, there's not a snowball's chance in hell that this will happen....I'm just repeating what I've heard.

Hell, according to CP, I'm not a REAL fan, so I guess I wouldn't have any opinion on what a REAL GM and HC would be. ;)

Jimmy Raye FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111

While i'm not sold on cowher, the guy did let whisenhunt, and gailey play fast and loose on offense. trickeration ya know

In a heartbeat. :D

Just think of it this way, we would have one attempt at an onsides kick each week.

like someone after you already said: this is a VERY interesting person, would fit for a guy like carl also. his daddy loved defense AND he's an offensive guy. he saw what defense could do with no Offense so he would know firsthand how important it is to try and be dominant on both sides...

Will Gunther survive yet another coaching change? He just won't go away.

Bill Swerski's SuperFan site says:

DITKA

lol!

And then fire him through the media a year later to hire Rick Neuheisel from UCLA.

here's the short list of people I'd like to coach us.

mike singletary (I wanted him as coach a while back. he's even higher on the list after his rant)
mike trgovac (panthers DC)
kirk ferentz
lane kiffin

Lane Kiffin huh?

Only if we hired a new solid GM that has some credibility in buidling a championship team...

Kiffin would be ****ing awesome...

:cuss:

FYP, buddy

Oh dear god that would be awesome!

thought you would like that too

Just ready to have the franchise back and having wins and losses meaning something again...

1 name keeps ringing in my mind.


Paul Hackett

yeah, I see kiffin as somebody who could pull a shannahan and break it off in al's A for the foreseeable future.

me too buddy, me too

come the **** on, man

HEY!!!!!






no one is watching MNF? Wow Go Peyton... hellava throw

The same Brian Schottenheimer that was too stupid to run the football against one of the worst run defenses in the league? The same guy who got a job only because of his last name?

No ****ing thanks.

I get why you crossed everyone else off the list, but I don;t get why Spagnoulo is crossed off.

Is there a reason he wouldn't come to KC?

Just being realistic.

He's the highest paid DC in football, and I wouldn't be shocked to see him be the defensive equivilent to Jason Garrett.

He took his name out of the ring for the Redskins job that was his for the asking.

Regardless, I find it highly unlikely he'd come here, or even be a candidate.

JMO.
