Gary Gibbs is the DC
 

I just got off the phone on Late Hits on Sirius Radio.....Ross and Howard said that KC announced today that Gary Gibbs is the DC, and there is no way with the people that we have we can run a 3-4.


I can't find it anywhere on the net. Just reporting what they said.

DEAL IS DONE!

PRINT'EM

Gary F****** Gibbs? Hope this isn't true...

He said it was announced today, but I can't find it anywhere.

Who?

Those 2 know shit.

They haven't announced anything.

OK fellas, I think this n00b just might fit in.

The alternative is Clancy F******* Pendergast.

There's no happy ending here, none.

No matter what happens, when the smoke clears it will be either Saints fans or Cardinals fans laughing at us the same way we laughed at the Lions fans for Gunther.

Hurray.

Has Nick Athan called this one yet?

We laughed at Lions fans cause they were actually excited about hiring ****her.

those guys

I take it that the Bee Gee's arent getting back together now?

Ross Tucker and Howard David were the ones on there tonight

I'm betting their source was Nick Athan.

From one worthless shitbag to another. JFC.

I searched PFT, kcchiefs.com, google.....nothing

I'm listening (although I don't know why since I can't stand Ross).

I agree with this tho. These guys are clueless.

It doesn't look promising, but I'd much rather Penderfuck called the actual plays...Gibbs just makes me sad as a DC choice, not the right choice for what's hopefully an aggressive defense.

Former Sooners' head man Gibbs new DC in KC

Gary Gibbs will be the new defensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs. KC picked him up after his firing from the same position in New Orleans.

OU fans have enjoyed a love-hate relationship with Gibbs. They love him for his standout play on the field and for leading a defense that dominated the Big Eight (and beyond) during his time as a coach and defensive coordinator.

Unfortunately, he's also remembered for his 44-23-2 record as head coach, which is not awful, but proved unacceptable on the heels of Barry Switzer. Gibbs also had to deal with the NCAA and other off-field troubles that saddled the Sooners in the late 1980s and 1990s.

Despite what one thinks of his head coaching tenure, it's becoming about time that OU and GG kissed and made up, and his accomplishments as a player and assistant coach are appreciated by the Sooner Nation. It would be a nice story for him to find success with the Chiefs.

found this....

Gibbs' wiki says he is "possibly" the d-cordinator, with the source being WPI!

ROFL

link?

Is it too late to get Gunther back? :rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure that with the people we have now there's no way we can play a 4-3 either, we need alot of new players regardless so whatever scheme they prefer to run they should just go with from the start.

Probably depends on the players we get this offseason, whether it will be 3-4 or hybrid.

Checked this site as well and still nothing...

http://www.beegeesonline.com/site/frame.html

I just think people need to get over this idea that we can win 7 games next year, there are to many people that seem to think it's possible and want to do that.

Yep, the team just came off a ten sack season and was gashed by the run all year as well. To say that they don't have the personnel for the 3-4 is kind of silly when they were so bad under the 4-3.

Alphonso Boone played a ton of snaps at defensive end last year...enough said!

We can be hopeful, though right?

At least we got rid of Herm & Carl.

That's step 1.

What I'm really interested in is how much of our record / "talent" has been coaching / outdated scheme?

Lack of talent + bad coaching = 6-26

The schedule difficulty jumps significantly next year...so that factors in.

Case in point: anyone still listening?

Ross just said he would take Crabtree #1 overall if he's Detroit.

nice

Yeah because taking WR's that has works out so well!

That would cause Detriot fans to implode...

I really don't know why people think like this of Crabtree, if they'd sit down and watch full games of him and not just highlight vids it becomes immediately obvious he is not a dominant elite prospect.

Because people watch ESPN and others and like lemmings they just repeat what they hear as fact...

I could pretty easily argue that Maclins a better prospect than Crabtree is.

Surely you'd think the official announcements would come tomorrow or Friday with the Combine as close as it is..

Good point, I had forgotten the other divisions we play next year.

But also consider our divisonal games.

Will Arrowhead be packed again from this offseason? Maybe that helps us with more home divisional games...

Raiders? Gimme a break, with Davis still running the show...
Broncos? I'll take my chances with Pioli vs. their young unproven guy promoted from within...
Chargers? They do have more talent hands down...

I think it really depends on how much we overhaul the roster this offseason and / or customize our schemes to take advantage of our players' strengths (something that hasn't been done in quite some time...)

I love Gary's Hair....

Do we get Disco Sundays at Arrowhead now?

Honestly?

I doubt it. They just said "at a later date". I think they're holding out on word from more coaches until they release the assignments. Crennel, maybe?

True, but the media isnt sucking off Macklin as much as Crabtree... This is what you call casual fans whom just watch a few games, hear someone say Crabtree is top 3, then they are automatically draft gurus... Hell most of them couldnt even tell you were he played at, who the coach is and what is his QB's name?

But they will go out on google, look all that up and come back a few posts later with their new guru knowledge.

I agree, it wouldn't be hard.

Watch this...

Maclin is elite at 2 things, speed and returning, what is Crabtree elite at?

I'd take Maclin over Crabtree. (Obvious bias aside.)

Still, I wouldn't take either at #3.

Isn't that n00b 60 years old?

Is it gonna hurt when he's on the Raiders cause I think that's where he's going.

Ugh... please, no.

I think he's the best choice amongst the ones we have right now.

I am really hoping that we will have an explosive offense that will offset our crappy D.


Whatever, I think if we continue with a crappy D we will be no where.

being a good wideout?

I will jizz if we take him, at least he's someone you can count on being good.

They're both from the spread...Crabtree doesn't stand out any more than Maclin does at the WR position...

I question if Crabtree will separate Maclin I know can.

You need two things at minimum: Defense and the ability to score. You can't offset a crappy D, b/c they'll let you down when it's on the line. I'm praying these guys prove better than whats on paper, and we get some talent in here in a hurry.

How the hell would I know how old brandon is?

Huh?

Edit: I'm 34.

That's what we get for waiting over a month to appoint a HC.

I was really wanting to get Rex Ryan but now he's in the Jets and he's going to kick major butts.

Whatz a n00b? lolz

Ah, nice name.

Despite the additions of Gary Gibbs and Clancy Pendergast to their coaching staff, ESPN's John Clayton suggests that the Chiefs could still hire Romeo Crennel to coordinate their defense.

Crennel known GM Scott Pioli well and would bring a strict 3-4 defense to Kansas City. It's uncertain if the 61-year-old wants the job, however.
Source: ESPN Insider

Good players make DCs look good
repeat it three times and throw salt over your left shoulder
Pioli you're up at bat

I wanted Rex too, but I don't hate the hiring of Haley just yet, I love Ryan in the HC job, he'll do extremely well I think. Just to hear him talk about it, it's as though he's made for it.

I have serious doubts about Rex Ryan as a head coach. I think he is a loudmouth and also was more a product of what giving a coach great players can do than anything. That's how Nolan and Lewis landed HC jobs as well, and neither of them turned into a great head coach...

This is a mother****in train wreck.

I'm holding out hope this is why no positions have been announced yet.

We're just waiting to get Crennel and slot the two retread failures into their rightful role as position coaches. No sense in announcing either one as DC only to 'demote' them after you snag Crennel.

I'm also hoping that Thigpen grows 5 inches in the offseason and realizes that he can throw far more accurately with his left arm than his right.

I think both scenarios are equally likely.

Agreed. There are a lot of people who feel that way too. The only guy that I regret not hiring is Spagnuolo. But I have no problem with Haley.

I love all the speculation about our conversion to a 3-4. Didn't both of these coaches field a 4-3 last year? Which one of the defensive assistants that we hired has fielded a 3-4?

For the record, wikipedia also says "Pendergast was hired by the Kansas City Chiefs possibly as defensive coordinator"

Comparing the defense that both Gibbs and Pendergast fielded over the last few years, based on total yards:
NO finished 23rd in 2008, 26 in 2007 and 11 in 2006
Arizona finished 19 in 08, 17 in 07 and 29 in 06.

Pendergast has clearly fielded a better defense.
How a head coach could give the DC job to the one with a worse record is beyond me.

I'm not overly excited about either of these guys as coordinators too, but you have to wonder if this might just be Pioli's way of saying 'we'll wait until next year and grab the cream of the crop and have an experienced playcaller to call plays for 2009 as a stopgap.' "

If we want to use the overused cliche of "the Patriot Way", recall that a few years ago the Pats ran an offense without having a true offensive coordinator.

ESPN Insider thumbing their nose at the grammar police again.

Good to see.

How does Glenn Dorsey fit into a 3-4? Or is he not a big deal?

I found it interesting that in Adam Teicher's interview, Haley said Dorsey has talent and could play either 3-4 or 4-3.

I've just logged on and know it has already been discussed but I found it funny that Haley has not decided who will be DC. Could go either way and may depend upon the talent. So, much for that Adam S. guy's intell!!!!

Is he the one with the big teeth that sings the "ha ha ha ha stayin alive" part, or the little guy with the friar tuch hair that nobody knows?

what you wrote is the only thing that matters.

better get used to it for atleast the next 3 years.

You mean, like Haley? I am not saying that Haley won't be good... I am growing to like him.

However, he is a loudmouth and a product of coaching great players.

For the record, Wikipedia is not the best source.

Gibbs has more coaching experience. Gibbs also has experience with the 3-4.

I would prefer Pendergrass personally, but Haley appears to value experience.
