3. coaching a brand of football that died with hair bands; i love defense as much as anybody, but you can't run a soft zone all the time. with the development of 3 rookie DBs this year, the chiefs should be running more man to man, to free up blitzers to help the pass rush. which in turn would help the DBs.
these three things alone are enough to make me wish for a new head coach. throw in some questionable draft picks, and less than average FA signings, and i begin to question his talent evaluation abilities as well. you can make as many excuses for the guy as you want, but if winning a superbowl is your ultimate goal, having a coach like herm edwards is the definition of neurosis.

AND I'd also like to add, poorly coached fundamentally. Bad tackling team the Chiefs are week in and week out. i love defense too, but if you can't tackle, your defense aint gonna be good. We were a bad blocking team for the majority of the time since hes been here. Thank goodness Gailey switched to the pistol offense that has helped out the blocking some. Bad blocking, bad scheming, coincedence QB's get killed.
Also, a bad strategist too. I'll never forget the game planning in that playoff against Indy. Ughh it was the most atrocious I've seen in my life.
