KC Star: Edwards adds last two assistant coaches
http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansas...s/13769569.htm
Edwards adds last two coaches By ELIZABETH MERRILL The Kansas City Star He didn’t stay away from the NFL for long. Auburn defensive coordinator David Gibbs, a former Broncos assistant, has been hired to coach Kansas City’s secondary, Chiefs coach Herm Edwards said Wednesday. Edwards said he’s also added UCLA’s John Embree to complete his staff. Embree, an assistant head coach for the Bruins, will be the Chiefs’ tight-ends coach. A former tight end at Colorado, Embree helped Marcedes Lewis emerge as one of the most dominant tight ends in the country in 2005 and coached NFL players Christian Fauria and Matt Lepsis. Gibbs served as Auburn’s defensive coordinator for a year. Before that, he coached the secondary in Denver. Edwards wasted little time compiling his first staff at Kansas City, a mix of NFL vets, Dick Vermeil disciples and new faces. Last month, Edwards retained Gunther Cunningham as defensive coordinator, promoted Mike Solari to offensive coordinator, and kept Terry Shea (quarterbacks), James Saxon (running backs) and Charlie Joiner (wide receivers). He also hired Don Blackmon (linebackers), John Matsko (offensive line), Dick Curl (offensive assistant) and Tim Krumrie (defensive line). “They will set a standard for these players that they’ve got to meet,” Edwards said, “and it’s going to be a high standard. They’ll know that right away when they walk into the room with these guys individually. “I think all of them bring a very good teaching quality. They all have their different personalities, and that’s OK because you don’t want the same personalities on your staff. “But I think they all have the same attitude in mind. They’re about making the player better and holding the players accountable.” |

Denver had a solid secondary while he was their DB coach.

He took over an Auburn defense that lost a ton of talent and worked very well with it. No Junior Rosegreen and Carlos Rogers? Not too much problem.

Edwards has done a very good job assembling his coaching staff. I'm pleased with the coaches he has chosen. Nice job, Herm!

Sweetness. I think I could have done better with my High School secondary coaching skills than our old DB coach. So anybody is better than the original.

Looks like Edwards did a great job going to the well. Let's see what they do in the draft.

Still wondering what D we will use? Auburn has been using the Miami 4-3 since Tuberville has been there.
