Head Coach Question
After 6 games this season it's apparent and I agree that wholesale changes need to be made. A question I have is what ever happened to Al Saunders. I thought at one time he was in line for the Chiefs Head Coach job. I would love to see him with the talent that we have on this team and work with it. I can't think of anyone else that might be able to repolorize the fan base as he could. He was popular.

He's an offensive assistant in Oakland.

He's been with several teams. A very good offensive mind, but a lot of his success was undoubtedly riding on the coattails of Vermeil.

He will also never coach in KC again. He got screwed by Carl after DV left and he holds everybody accountable including Clark.

Was it Carl or Clark? I think money would talk. I guess the question is would he be a good fit.

Not only that but he didn't land a single offensive coordinator spot he interviewed for in the offseason and went back to oakland with his tail between his legs for a demotion. Does that sound like a viable head coaching candidate to anybody else? Maybe 8 years ago.

I wonder, though, how many teams employ the line of thinking that we do; the whole "he's not from the GM/Head Coach's tree" kind of thing. You wouldn't think it would matter with Saunders' resume, but I guess it could be a possibility? |

Al Saunders is 65 years ago, and the last time he was a head coach in the NFL was in 1988. That's a long time. I would have hired him to succeed Vermeil since he was the offensive coordinator of a great offense and we would have continuity, but I don't think I'd hire him now. Too old.

i am not defending Al Saunders but the old argument is hilariously sad when we just had a coaching vacancy and we filled it with a 65 year old who was already a failure at HC at the NFL level just a few years ago. Romeo wasnt "too old" but now Al Saunders is. Makes sense |
