Hello kirk Ferentz

Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli has reportedly told people that Iowa's Kirk Ferentz is the leading candidate to replace Todd Haley.

No. No. No. I will not accept this.

STANZI FOR PRESIDENT

Christ. The Hawkeyefication of the Chiefs continues.

I guess Stanzi is the QBOTF then.

That would be great imo.

Told ya so pt. II.

i'm sure pioli is going around running his mouth

college coaches rarely pan out in the nfl

holy shit NSFW in images if you google his last name

SCANDAL already

Just don't see it happening.

Kirk has a lifetime get out of jail free card. He's at a school where you win 10 games every 2 or 3 years and they'll carve you a statue.

Why the **** is it so hard for GM's to step outside of their comfort zones? We had to deal with Carl's refusal to hire anyone as a coach post Marty that he didn't know.

This would be a disaster. DISASTER.

Solid hire. It would be the best one from the tree.

Great, a college guy.

Pete Carroll part deux.

My Hawkeye friends who already hate the Chiefs would probably be buying automatic weapons if this happens. LMAO

Why do you think that?

Wow. This franchise is completely ****ed.

Gotta call BS on this...Pioli does not say anything to anyone, and if he did, they would know to shut the hell up. I think this is a red herring.

This would be a recipe for disaster, imo. How on earth would Pioli hold Ferentz accountable if he is awful?

I wouldn't mind it.

I posted this would happen a few months ago... hope not, but don't be surprised.

I'm not sold on this, but I'll always be a Chief fan and stand behind whomever we acquire.

Did Pioli leak this, or did some school leak this to get a recruiting advantage?

Here's a secret for you -

The "tree" starts with Belichick, and ends with Tom Brady. Chinese Elms are pretty ****ing stout near the trunk, but all the branches die and fall off with little outside effort.

Christ.

He's a better college coach IMO than Carroll. He never had the talent that Carroll had because he coaches at a school that couldn't be further away from USC.

He's done a lot with very little.

I am not sure I would mind it either. But the front office keeps everything so close to vest, I think any rumors out there right now are basically reporters trying to fill space.

STANZI LOVERS MOUNT UP

Moeaki jumped up in celebration and broke an ankle

Another big learning curve for a first time NFL head coach?

:facepalm:

Doesn't matter. If Ferentz goes all Saban on us, then Clark Hunt will be holding Pioli accountable...

Also, it could be implied that we will not draft a franchise QB if Ferentz is hired, because he probably has unwavering faith in Stanzi.

The Iowa homerism will be strong.

He can't do any worse than Palko. Let's see what the kid has.

I hope this is a Joke!

get your season tickets now.

Will he draft a legit QBOTF? That's all I care about.

Bill Walsh. Jimmy Johnson.

Part of the BB tree and the Hayden Fry tree. It worked for Bill Snyder and Bob Stoops under Hayden. He understands the coaching process

Well, guess we better pray Stanzi is the next Brady. Assuming he's hired of course.

It's a pussy move, sticking to "the tree", or whatever. Go get the best guy for the job, not the guy you'r emost comfortable with, and/or feel like you can control. That likely won't happen, seeing as how Haley and Pioli went down in flames.

Saying that, I'll take the word of Hawkeye fan that says he does a great job coaching his kids, because I'll admit I know very little of him as a coach. Give me some up and comer not named Josh McDaniels.

Joe Montana, Troy Aikman.

Stanzi can be as good as those guys! [/derp]

WE'Z GONNA GETZ OUR JIM HARBAUGH ON

Matt Barkley or RGIII. :D

**** everything about this.

if this happens, i'm out.

Great news, actually. Ferentz won't come here if Cassel is forced on him, and if he really believes in Stanzi, he'd be more likely to come. Additionally, Pioli wouldn't be floating his choices unless discussions had already taken place.

And that's what it will take for me to embrace the hire.

He's not really a tree guy. He coached under Belichick a couple of years in Cleveland.

Personally, I thnik this is who Pioli wanted all along and he's a guy Pioli would listen to and put in the best possible position to succeed. Along with being a solid coach and leader.

Please no.

And Pioli really believed in Cassel.

We need to draft a franchise QB. If a fifth rounder rises up and surprises, then we have a great problem on our hands.

Over Stanzi?

Me doubt it.

Meh. If our choices are him or McD I know which i'd rather have.

I'd prefer he stay at Iowa.

If you're willing to listen to a Hawkeye fan, you should know that I posted probably a week ago or more that I don't like the idea of him being the Chiefs HC. I'm not a fan of his approach to the game, not aggressive enough...

Sure, but anything but McDaniels + Cassel sounds appealing. I had assumed that to be the near certain outcome.

He it's not true. MISTAKE.

I wouldn't automatically assume he'd be a big Stanzi fan because they were at Iowa together. Ferentz is very much a "business approach" kind of guy.

Nick Saben, Pete Caroll, Steve Spurrier, Lou Holtz.

And likewise, I don't believe his approach to the game in the NFL would be the same as his approach at Iowa.

He is making 3.65 million per year through 2020. He'd be ****ing insane to leave that and go anywhere.

It will NOT happen.

Is it possible for us to get McDaniels as on OC? Maybe if we make him assistant HC too?

Not saying I want to hire Ferentz, but hes known for having great defense and good running games. We better keep Crennel who keeps our D good, then add McDaniels and we have a great passing attack no matter who our QB is(his boys Cassel or Orton, even Fernetz boy Stanzi has an arm). Then obviously we will have a rushing attack still(assuming).

Maybe not but having seen 10+ years of him, every game, I'd rather not take the chance.

When you need a FG to beat Ohio State in the Horseshoe for the first time in ten thousand years, you don't kneel down with 2:15 left and 3 timeouts to play for overtime...

I agree. Plus his son is still there.

It's not just that.

Look at the people like 88 saying he's a shit coach, and look at the Iowa fans line up to defend him.

If he were the coach at Nebraska, they would have fired him in 2003.

At Iowa, he is set FOR LIFE.

:facepalm:


That's really all I want from the next coach - a killer's instinct. Go for the throat.

OK that was pretty good!! REP!


I'm all for Kirk Ferentz! Get our GM and HC on the same path, rowing together. If in 3 more years they've rowed the boat over Niagra, wash off both of em, step up and swing away again. This is the make or break path for Scott Pioli, let's get it goin already!

These guys aren't wired like you and me.

Just don't go for the ref's throat...or your OC. ROFL

Iowa fans, give us the lowdown on Captain Kirk.

Is he the white Herm?

One could make that case. He's made some odd end-of-half/end-of-game decisions over the years. He's VERY conservative, especially in big games.

Let's make this perfectly clear - Kirk Ferentz is my favorite HC for the Hawkeyes and I am old enough to remember Hayden's glory years. I would love for Kirk to stay in Iowa City FOREVER.

And while I wouldn't be angry, I really don't want him as the next HC of the Chiefs.

Jesus Tapdancing Christ no.

I should have added "on the field" to that post......

Ferentz has too much class for the NFL. I'm not sure his bullshit tolerance is near high enough. He's already done the NFL thing once and he went back to college. I'd like a motivated Ferentz to be coaching at Kinnick for the next 15 years however if coach is ready for a change then he needs to go.

Anyone but McDonalds

He definitely has his ultra-conservative tendencies.

I do NOT want him as the new HC.

You are a ****in idiot.

I'm tired of all the pussies with the "if the Chiefs do [insert whatever pisses you off] I'm out".

Just go already. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

its ****in downlow. now go look at your vagina with a hand mirror for the next hour.

he's the black marty

Jim Harbaugh would like you to step into his office.

WTF? LMAO
