Chiefs Unsubstantiated Rumor: It will be Bill Cowher as Head Coach in 2009 - Page 10

teedubya · 01-19-2009, 06:28 PM

OK gang, as you all know, A friend of mine from high school is good friends with a former player of the Chiefs and Steelers... just talked with him on Facebook and he said that 100% that Cowher will be the coach next year. The assistants have been told to find other employment and they are at the senior bowl with Pioli and he is seeing which assistants/scouts that may be worth keeping.

Cowher loves the new facilities... working with Scott Pioli... the new attitude... & he wants to be able to come to KC and be the hero.

Apparently, Cowher drafted this former player and they remain good friends. And Cowher told him these things... allegedly.

My friend isn't a big bullshitter... but this would seem to be too good to be true.

cowher and pioli have the makings of a very good organization that players would LOVE to play for...

so, I'd say 80% that this happens... flame away if you like... but, I thought I'd share.

A number of sites had this as his perfect place in the pros.... it lets him work more in space...

I don't know if this is correct... but a number of people thought so at the time. It is worth a shot IF we can go out and draft or find a NT... we definitely don't have one on the roster unless Tank want to bulk up.

Tank has the strength, but I don't think he needs to bulk up anymore. CORN!!!

Once again, J. Peppers wants to play OLB in a 3-4 defense. He said that he would be better there than in a 4-3 DE position.

Our safeties are pretty meh anyway...

Not if we used Bernard Pollard like he should be used. He should be just like Adrian Wilson. Bringing down the pain. He's a speedster around the side (think of those blocked kicks/punts).

I think you're over-estimating Pollard's potential.

He's a stand-out STer, but an average safety who needs to learn to wrap up.

Never know, though. KC's defensive staff, as a whole, is so inept that players some of think are nothing but average might surprise with improved coaching.

Really? Cowher? I never bought the act in Pittsburgh.

Is there no coordinator or up and comer that doesnt have any ties at all to the previous 20 years of Carl, Herm, DV, or Marty?

This team has been infected with a play not to lose philosophy that has not gone away with any of the 4 head coaches during the Carl years--Giving up key 3rd downs on defense and failing to get key first downs on offense...I want that shit to stop and KC to start winning games.

I cant wait 20 more years to build a SB champion.

You nailed it. Cowher grew as a HC, while at the same time he managed to keep true to his beliefs in having a solid defense and a strong running game. That is why I'd love to see him become the Chiefs next HC.

Marty could have done the same thing, but when the moment of truth came in San Diego, he went conservative and put his faith in a rookie Kicker instead of going for the "Knock Out" in the red zone and actually managed to lose a playoff game to Herm ****ING Edwards...shake:

In terms of sheer movement skills, Dorsey could conceivably play DE in any style of front. He might be a bit slow for the position, but the man does move like he’s 30 lbs lighter. Watching Dorsey against LSU, I had chills thinking about him playing next too John Henderson and Marcus Stroud on the Jaguars D-line. A pipe dream sure, but that would be the best run-stopping unit in the league immediately. I’ve heard his name get mentioned as a possible 3-4 nose tackle if he goes to Miami, which is a mistake. That is not Dorsey’s game and I don’t think he would be effective in that role. He is far better on the move and getting penetration. His game is disruption, not occupation. He can be a 3-4 end though. He has the ability and drive to be a Richard Seymour type, but his most effective position is at tackle in a cover-2 (4-3) or attacking defense such as the Eagles.

Yet another reason why I would like us to run a hybrid defense like Philly.

What's the ChiefsPlanet consensus of this rumor?
