Head Coach Question
 

After 6 games this season it's apparent and I agree that wholesale changes need to be made. A question I have is what ever happened to Al Saunders. I thought at one time he was in line for the Chiefs Head Coach job. I would love to see him with the talent that we have on this team and work with it. I can't think of anyone else that might be able to repolorize the fan base as he could. He was popular.

He's an offensive assistant in Oakland.

He will also never coach in KC again. He got screwed by Carl after DV left and he holds everybody accountable including Clark.

He's been with several teams. A very good offensive mind, but a lot of his success was undoubtedly riding on the coattails of Vermeil.

Al Saunders is 65 years ago, and the last time he was a head coach in the NFL was in 1988. That's a long time. I would have hired him to succeed Vermeil since he was the offensive coordinator of a great offense and we would have continuity, but I don't think I'd hire him now. Too old.

Was it Carl or Clark? I think money would talk. I guess the question is would he be a good fit.

I want a hardass prick the drops the hammer on horrible play.


Oh, wait......

The Chiefs freefall can all be traced to hiring Herm over Al Saunders.

I would welcome the guy Milkman once mentioned -- McCoy, I believe is his name. OC for the Broncos.

I was an advocate of Mike Sullivan. We saw his offense today, he's the Bucs' OC. He's a former QB coach under Tom Coughlin. Good coach, really helped Eli. He'd be a good coach to have with a new young QB.

The Chiefs situation is so dire, they need someone with a proven HC track record for winning.

Andy Reid, Bill Cowher, Jon Gruden, Brian Billick... jump aboard the proven winner train.

Carl but apparently he holds the Hunts responsible as well.

OH AND ROMEO ISNT OLD AS ****ING SAND

i am not defending Al Saunders but the old argument is hilariously sad when we just had a coaching vacancy and we filled it with a 65 year old who was already a failure at HC at the NFL level just a few years ago.

Romeo wasnt "too old" but now Al Saunders is. Makes sense

Let's be honest...Al doesn't win on his own...he rode the success of Don Coryell and Dick Vermeil.

Wasn't he on the interview list when they hired Haley, or was that a smoke screen?
