Who is your #1 HC choice? Who would you be happy to have??
 

We like to bitch and moan about everything from hot chicks being too fat, to fat chicks being too hot.

What I would like to know, is who is your #1 choice for HC, that you would be happy about? Not pissed about, not "meh'd" about.

Who gets your pants tight?

Bill Cowher

1. Chip Kelly.
2. Anyone not from the Patriot Tree.

I'M NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY WITH ANYONE!!

I hope I'm wrong though, I'd be glad to eat crow.

Chip Kelly.

Really, Cowher would be my choice right now.

Belichick.

Chip Kelly.

Chip Kelly

Ya but seriously?

#1 choice right now is Chip Kelly.

Would be happy with:
Cowher, Gruden, Brian Kelly, David Shaw, intrigued by Andy Reid.

:D

Kelly, Cowher or Gruden.

Pee We Herman

1. Chip Kelly
meh: Cowher, Kyle Shannahan, Gruden

Gruden

Todd Haley is looking.

Not Kirk Ferentz.

Any coach that can draft smith because we need a mobile qb with a set skills.

I really like Chip Kelly though. I'm sure everyone remembers this story about him...

Kelly gained national acclaim for responding to a season ticket holder's letter demanding a refund for his expenses after traveling to see Oregon's 19–8 loss to Boise State, which ended with Ducks running back LeGarrette Blount responding to a Bronco player's taunts by punching him in the face. Kelly replied to the man with a personal check written out for his travel costs (exactly $439): in response, the fan wrote him a thank-you note enclosing the original check, which he did not cash and made copies to frame

Sean Payton.

Don't want Cowher. Was in pittsburgh during the kordell stewart years and he kept insisting kordell could be a starting QB. And then when I heard his "Casshole wasn't the problem comments," that sealed it.

Chip Kelly
Either gruden
Gus Bradley
Not opposed to 49ers staff, like Greg roman, but ONLY if we are fully confident they can succeed without harbaugh

For the Jag? Todd Haley and no one else.

Sean Payton

Uh, yeah.

ROFL

Im on board with Chip Kelly. They say he's incredibly smart, intuitive, organized and runs a tight ship.

What else do you want in a HC?

Chip Kelly

My top 3 are:
Chip Kelly
Andy Reid
Bruce Arians

you people wanting Chip Kelly are being way too picky and need to come back to reality real quick

As much as I want him too, that dude has his PICK right now to go anywhere he would want. And really, teams will offer him full control and whatever he wants, we have our heads stuck up Scott Pioli's ass

and essentially Chip Kelly is Peyton Manning all over again. If he snubs us, we will never know why, but assume Scott Pioli

NM on Payton; didn't realize he signed an extension a few days ago. I thought his contract was voided etc

This is a thread about who you want, not who you think we will get.

Nobody will agree, but I still want, and HAVE wanted for quite some time now...


Al Saunders.


Flame away.

The more I read about Kelly, the more I like. I don't want an old time coach brought back for a couple of years.

Chip has made it clear that he wants total control, so if Clark gets Kelly that means Peehole hits the streets.

as far as 'want'...I'd want Kelly.

Saban is under contract through 2020 I 'think'.

I love the guy too, but NO this just isn't the time for that.

I'd much rather have the right GM/Personnel guy.

Jesus Christ could be the HC - it won't mean much if the GM is bombing draft after draft.

What do you mean...you people? ROFL

Russ Ball - GM
Bill Cowher - HC
Ken Whisenhunt - OC
Darren Perry - DC

I think he'd be awesome, and if I'm right then it will ALWAYS be the right time. But quite frankly, nobody else agrees. Not sure why. Dude has his pulse on how to move the ball down the field and get his players where they need to be. Would love to see him take a young QB and turn him into a perfect offensive machine for 10+ years in KC. Then have him find the defensive mind that has always presented him with the biggest challenge and have them chess match every day in practice and win multiple championships.

A guy can dream. :)

Works both ways. Is Crennel not proof enough of that? He took a 7-9 team and turned them into a 2-14 team....a 2-14 team that arguably had more talent than the 7-9 team.

HC is extremely important.

Why would you want Ken Whisenhunt as OC? WTH has he ever done aside from ride the coattails of a HoF QB?

Meh.

Did Crennel do that or did the QB play do that?

Crennel was bad, no doubt, but seriously... Cassel was all time bad and Quinn was worse.

Maybe this is the homer shades speaking, but KC is a relatively talented team that has something that no other team can offer - the number one pick and the ability to build around whatever QB he chooses. As an offensive guy, that HAS to appeal to him, right?

If you look at who the 7-9 team beat, you'd realize they weren't that good either.

1. Chip Kelly
2. Andy Reid/Mike Holmgren
3. Some other college head coach

I'm tired of NFL retreads - especially the ones that have been behind the camera too long. Andy Reid or Mike Holmgren are the only NFL coaches I'd like because of their innovations on offense and their playoff experience.

Kelly is my #1 but I'd take a fresh college mind over something stale like Romeo and his lookalikes.

If Clark's looking 'right away' at HC candidates, that precludes playoff coaches right? I mean, they're kind of busy.

So I think maybe it is Chip Kelly. I would like Kelly or JAY Gruden.

Crennel is everyone's scapegoat.

Otherwise, people would have to admit this organization is more flawed than they want to believe.

that 7-9 team also had way better players

Brandon Carr
Leron McClain
Jackie Battle
Steve Breaston
Kyle Orton
Wallace Gilberry
Jon McGraw
etc etc etc

On board for Brian Daboll.


He's served his time and shown that he knows whats what in the NFL.

Fixed.

even those crappier players I listed are WAY better contributers than the turd piles we played out there this season

Ill take McGraw, Battle, McClain over scrubs like Abe Elam and Peyton Hillis and no FB for 3/4s of the year any season

I'll take Berry over McGraw. And Battle and McClain are no better than anything.

good thing that was Sabbys position and McGraw still would have been playing over Abe Elam. As we play three crappy safeties in this defense

its moot now but the point is that 7-9 had way better talent than this 2-14 team and it's not even close. Even the bad players on that 7-9 team are better than all the Pioli draft pick busts we trotted out there this season

I agree with that. But the Chiefs were bad in ALL Phases of the game for the majority of the season. That's on RaC.

They had Brandon Carr. That's it. Jackie Battle? Are you ****ing with me? Jon McGraw?

JON MCGRAW?

GTFO.

He's not a scapegoat. He was horrible and a big part of the problem. And yes, you can look back, I was one of the most critical about the stupidity of the hire as soon as it happened.

you do realize that Abe Elam and Peyton Hillis were that bad this year

right

and that Kyle Orton was a massive upgrade at QB over the two they trotted out every Sunday

Crennel was shit. He wasn't a scapegoat. He was fired for turning a 7-9 team into a 2-14 team, that, like I said, arguably had MORE talent.

I don't care WHO they beat, the fact is, they BEAT them...W/o Jammal Charles. The 2012 team got blown out repeatedly WITH Charles. That's coaching.

Just because Peyton Hillis was bad doesn't mean Jackie ****ing Battle was worth a shit in 2011.

And the Chiefs had won 5 games BEFORE they trotted out Orton.

You're arguing over wether or not Peyton Hillis is better than Jackie. They both sucked equally as hard and gave little contribution.

The difference between scrubs like Jackie Battle and Peyton Hillis, or McGraw vs Elam aren't enough to validate a 5 game swing.

As HC I would be happy with either Reid, Kelly or Cowher. I think a fresh start and new organization will do wonders to re energize Andy Reid.

but it doesnt matter that they didnt have Charles or a run game.

They had Bill ****ing Muir calling plays

and they had somewhat of a passing game. Steve Breaston caught 61 balls that year. Bowe caught 81.

That's enough of offensive output to win 7 games, with a defense led by Flowers, Carr, DJ, Hali having good years.


We didnt have a passing game this season, you can rush for 400 yards with Jamaal Charles and still lose. Daboll and Rac proved that. The talent was clearly better the prior year at the coaching and player evaluation level. Playing a guy like Steve Breaston over Jon Baldwin DOES IN FACT, HELP. Playing a guy like Wallace Gilberry over Allen Bailey DOES IN FACT HELP. Playing Jon McGraw over Abe Elam is a difference. Brandon Carr over Stanford Dishroutt and Jalil Brown


It's a massive drop off in talent, it's painfully obvious.

Chip?
I have a problem taking anybody named Chip, Chad, etc seriously

Right.....uhm....so what exactly are we arguing about? We both agree that the coaches this year did a far worse job than last year, correct?

The drop off from Carr to Routt etc was substantial, but the rest of these scrubs? No effin' way. Gilberry had how many sacks last season? you think there is a substantial difference between Abe Elam and Jon McGraw? Wow...talk about debating over two equally shitty players.

And then you don't take into consideration where the Chiefs were arguably better at from a talent perspective, like the O-Line or TE position.

Yes, Crennel was an awful HC. No, i don't think the 2011 Chiefs were a more talented team than the 2012 version, especially after getting Berry and Charles back. Even Berry on a down year was better than the shit we had last season.

That falls on the coaching staff.

RaC is not a scapegoat. He deserved to be fired.

Kelly, Gruden, Cowher (no way in hell we get Cowher), Andy Reid, Whisenhunt, McDaniels.

Chip Kelly

1. Chip Kelly(Highest risk/reward)
2a. Jay Gruden(he will be a head coach next year and I think a good one)
2b. Ariens(however the hell you spell his name) Did a great job this year and deserves a shot at head coach.
3. Andy reid(If we get reid he has to come in a pacage deal with Geno smith. Smith would excell in Reids system IMO)

*Puts on bulletproof helmet...*

Love Smith. I just think he's a very good coach who doesn't ever really have terrible seasons. He doesn't seem to meet expectations enough, but he's still a very smart, defensive-minded coach. Just make sure we get a competent OC

Gumby

No retreads.

Chip Kelly

This

Cower, L. Smith, Gruden.

Norv for O-Coord.

Cowher, Kelly, Reid, Lovie. In that order.

The more I hear/read of Chip Kelly, the more interested I get. It would be a bold move. I just hope a guy like that could command the respect of an entire NFL franchise. That's what this is going to take. He would have to show dramatic improvement right away, or the players would not buy into it.

Cowher

If I had my pick it'd probably be Reid for a variety of reasons but I think he'd be better served sitting a year.

There isn't a single HC out there now that excites me.

Hell Yeah.

The KC Fired Coaches Club.

Andy Reid as Head Coach...Lovie Smith as Defensive Coordinator...Norv Turner as Offensive Coordinator. Dream Big.
