He said that none of KC's current coaches are very well suited to develop a young team. A younger, fundamentals oriented coach like Ferentz or similar would be better suited to build a young team.
If I thought Green had five more years in him, I would say give Saunders a shot to keep the ball rolling. But we need to start thinking about the next QB. And rather than trying to draft the next Green, it makes sense to bring in a new coach and let him get the type of QB he wants.

It may be a Ferentz type of coach, but I don't see him leaving Iowa for awhile. He's building a great thing there, and that's where he started under Frye. I don't see Ferentz leaving for the NFL anytime in the near future.
Green has at least 3 seasons left in KC. He got his start late, and is in the best shape of his playing career. 3 seasons would be enough to give Saunders a legitimate chance at building a team through his vision. Not a lot of NFL Coaches like to develop QB's anymore with so many good vets out there in FA/via trade every offseason. Unless KC has a high draft choice, or a QB falls to them, the next QB in KC will come via FA or trade in my opinion.
