The #1 reason CP should say YES to Al Saunders - (And the main reason he won't)
Forget about the fact that he's coordinated the top offense in the nfl the last 4 years. Forget the fact that he's obviously the best candidate available and already on the staff. Forget the fact that whether he stays or goes could decide whether hall of famers on the offensive line stay or go.
The real reason Saunders should be named head coach is right here. The real reason Saunders WON'T be named head coach is also right here as well. This was from last summer and I bookmarked it for future reference. Some of you may recall a guy from the coalition by the name of "former db" from training camp last year. He's a media guy and former football player from Pittsburgh who is also a die hard chiefs fan. He covered the Chiefs training camp last year and provided some really good interviews and info. Anyway, he had this to say about a conversation with Frank Ganz last summer: http://www.chiefscoalition.com/Forum...=29295&hl=ganz Quote:

Nobody messes with the King. Nobody.

Interesting....good scoop...
Carl wants another "yes man" obviously. |
In SI this month Peter King writes
Al Saunders is Dick Vermeil's hand-picked successor;why hasn't Carl Peterson embraced him? from that statement it looks like Al won't be HC in KC. |
Additionally, this is consistent with what I (and B_Ambuehl, I think) believe: that the DV/AS duo, controlling the Chiefs' offense, is the only part of the organization that isn't dysfunctional. It's the part that Carl can't **** up. I'd love it if Clark Hunt did a end-around Peterson and hired Saunders.
I woudn't be a bit surprised that the reason Gun isn't in the booth is that he and Saunders hate one another. GC is Carl's boy. |

i don't want our next coach to be a Carl pet .... another positive for giving Saunders a chance imo. |
so Peterson doesn't like Saunders for standing up to him. But his pride & joy, LJ, has just the same personality
|
So we want Al Saunders because him and Carl disagree on everything?
So Al won't be able to accomplish anything because he's up against a GM that isn't on the same page? Brilliant. You can hate on CP all you want, but at some point you might as well accept the fact that he's the GM. Wanting a coach that will do nothing but butt heads hardly seems like a good idea. We need a coach that Carl will play along with. A guy that will get the things he wants. Prolonging infighting is not going to accomplish anything. |

I think it's the fact that Saunders is the only coach who would stand up and compete for what he thinks is right. Look at Detroit. Maybe if Mariuchi had a little bit bigger balls and stood up and told Millen that there's no way in hell they need to draft another wide reciever and that ther's no way they could pass up Derrick Johnson maybe Millen would've thought a little bit before throwing away another pick on a WR. But Mooch just smiled for the cameras and went along with it.
CP has had like one good draft pick in the last 5 or 6 years and Derrick Johnson doesn't really count. How many defensive tackles has he drafted? Look at the defensive coordinators he's brought in. I wonder who an Al Saunders would've recommended as defensive coordinator. Something tells me it wouldn't have been gun. |
Wow Larry Johnson cant do somethings that blaylock can?
I dont see that now |
Saunders can stand up to him as much as he wants. That doesn't mean Peterson is going to cave to it.
If you really want to be rid of Peterson, you would want a new coach. Saunders is just going to give us more of what we've had the last 5 years... barely good enough. He'll ensure this team stays competitive enough that Peterson keeps his job. If you want status quo, give Saunders the job. If you want more 7-9,8-8,9-7 seasons, give Saunders the job. If you want change, don't give Saunders the job. |

so my dislike and your support for Carl both don't mean jack. |
"He says the Chiefs are very sorry Derrick Blaylock is gone. They say that Larry Johnson can't do nearly as many things as Blaylock. They must reconfigure a lot of packages minimize Johnson's short-comings. Gantz says Johson can run, but there's a lot more to the game than just running the rock."
clearly Gantz is on the ball....we should listen to him... |
