As much as he is castigated here, Jimmy Raye actually made one of the most notable adjustments in franchise history in 2000 when KC lost its RB and FB early on. The '99 Chiefs had been build on maulball/play-action, and JR was able to adapt the remaining personnel to a pass-first O that finished #5 passing that season.
I think the deal here is that Carl wanted to continue Al Saunders' success and so he pigeon-holed Herm into promoting Solari, a coach with zero play-calling experience. Now that Herm has been vindicated, he wants an OC with the flexibility to adjust the system to fit the personnel, something the truncated Coryell system we were running could never do.
In the end, if Herm has learned from his past mistakes he will be open to whatever works in 2008-09, and hire an OC accordingly.
