Chiefs not wasting time


posted: Monday, January 2, 2006

The Chiefs appear to be the most active during the first wave of Black Monday coaching interview calls. They made contact with Chargers offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, Redskins defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, and Ravens offensive coordinator Jim Fassel. They will have to wait until next week to talk to Williams because the Redskins are playing on Saturday. Chiefs offensive coordinator Al Saunders is going to be interviewed and is expected to finish in the final three. There is still the possibility team president Carl Peterson might go after Herman Edwards -- the Chiefs reportedly plan to contact the Jets for permission to speak with Edwards -- but, because of tampering rules, Edwards might have to work out a trade compensation arrangement with the Jets if he were to accept a Kansas City offer.

WTF is Fassel doing in the mix?

sorry guys. looked and didn't find it. nothing to see here. move along.....:shake:

Nick Athan knows. He'll tell you for $80.

It was going to be a dis-asster
no matter who they chose

Why did you bump this?

Look at the SHIT Carl was choosing from
this year has some promise
espicially with Pioli at the helm

As horrible as Herm was
he may have been the pick of the litter
-kitty litter that is

Here were the coaching changes that year:

Buffalo Bills - Dick Jauron; replaced Mike Mularkey

Detroit Lions - Rod Marinelli; replaced interm head coach Dick Jauron who replaced Steve Mariucci who was fired following Thanksgiving Day during the 2005 season.

Green Bay Packers - Mike McCarthy; replaced Mike Sherman

Houston Texans - Gary Kubiak; replaced Dom Capers

Kansas City Chiefs - Herman Edwards; replaced Dick Vermeil who retired following the 2005 season

Minnesota Vikings - Brad Childress; replaced Mike Tice

New Orleans Saints - Sean Payton; replaced Jim Haslett

New York Jets - Eric Mangini; replaced Herman Edwards
Oakland Raiders - Art Shell; replaced Norv Turner

St. Louis Rams - Scott Linehan; replaced interm head coach Joe Vitt who replaced Mike Martz who was was not allowed to coach due to health problems during the 2005 season.

Did the whole class of '06 fail
I don't follow the Texans

Buffalo Bills - Dick Jauron: Jury still out. Nothing spectacular

Detroit Lions - Rod Marinelli: Epic Fail

Green Bay Packers - Mike McCarthy: Good hire

Houston Texans - Gary Kubiak: Jury still out havent made the playoffs yet

Kansas City Chiefs - Herman Edwards; Epic Fail

Minnesota Vikings - Brad Childress; decent hire

New Orleans Saints - Sean Payton; decent hire

New York Jets - Eric Mangini; ok hire. He did fail, not epic though

Oakland Raiders - Art Shell; Epic fail

St. Louis Rams - Scott Linehan; epic fail

Yeah McCarthy is looking better
after Favre turned into a pumpkin late in the season

Childress, Payton & McCarthy were the best hires...all had no prior NFL Head Coaching experience either.

yea, i would say Juaron, Kubiak, Childress and Payton will all be on thin ice next year if their teams dont improve.

Overall that was a weak coaching class.
