Eric Price as offensive coordinator - Page 3

Boris The Great · 12-22-2007, 09:11 PM

I heard someone say on the radio today that they thought the Chiefs would give Eric Price a look to replace Solari. Price is the current coordinator and QB coach at UTEP.

I guess the big thing about him is that he runs a pass heavy offense, because they said he took the UTEP passing offense from being ranked in the 70s nationally before he got there to being ranked 30th in his first year. And it kept improving each year before reaching 5th last season. This year it fell to 25th because UTEP had to replace their QB (Jordan Palmer, brother of Carson) and best receiver (Johnnie Lee Higgins, now at Oakland).

Herm knows him because Price was an offensive assistant in NY for a year or two. He was also the coordinator at Alabama with Brodie for about 5 minutes before his dad (Mike Price) got fired as head coach and Eric followed him to UTEP.

I searched for his name and didnt find posts talking about him, so I just thought I would throw this out there.

Sounds good to me.

Price and Bates are my 2 favorite candidates so far. I think both might have some new and fresh ideas. Shula scares me because of his run in TB and nothing needs to be said about Hackett.

I like the idea of bringing in a young unknown as opposed to the known quantities that we already know are going to suck. At least an unknown guy might surprise us. In any case, whoever we bring in will likely be fired whenever Herm and Carl go (please let that be no later than the end of next season). I've pretty much accepted the fact that we are going to suck while Herm is here.

Sounds to me like Herm wants a WCO guy. This guy seems a big long-shot, but I'd prefer him over some WCO re-tread.

going with the young and inexperinced (at pro level) plays well for Herm.
He can force the guy to do his will and then throw him under the bus when it goes sour. Cam Cameron is the pick (if available). Hoever, this would expose Herm greatly since Cameron has already established himself as a good OC. This puts the boo on Herm and he doesn't want that.
