Football The Rebuilding Class of 2006 - Page 3

If I did my math correctly 9 teams brought in new coaches in the year 2006.

2005 is the record of the team they inherited.

Team......2005.....2006......2007......2008......Total
Detroit.....5-11.....3-13......7-9........0-3.......10-25
Rams.......6-10.....8-8........3-13......0-3.......11-24
KC..........10-6......9-7.......4-12.......0-3.......13-22
Texans.....2-14.....6-10......8-8........0-2.......14-20
Minn........9-7.......6-10......8-8........1-2.......15-20
NYJ.........4-12.....10-6.......4-12......1-2.......15-20
Buffalo.....5-11.....7-9........7-9........3-0.......17 – 18
NO..........3-13......10-6......7-9........1-2.......18-17
GB...........4-12.....8-8........13-3.......2-1.......23-12

Out of 9 teams only two of them are better than .500 with Buffalo one game off. Although things are horrible in KC, the Chiefs are certainly not alone in their floundering.

So, what is the difference between GB, NO and I'll include Buffalo since they are 3-0 this year, and the rest of the pack? If the Chiefs bring in a new coach how do they make sure that by the year 2011 they aren't part of the bottom of the pack again?

The difference is the record in '05 (lower draft picks) and the first year under Herm being an attempt at Vermeil year 6 instead of blowing the team apart like they should have.

They were 2-5 at the end of the year when the games that really counted were played. Without special teams, they were a 4 or 5 win team. My guess is they collapse again this year.

We should sign Roscoe Parrish though.

you always have an excuse, don't you?

"if they didn't have good special teams"....but they did, because of their coaches...

"if" the Bills had lost....but they didn't....

"if" we had started the rebuild sooner...but we didn't because of Herm (you can not remove the HC from accountability)...

and Herm, who can't beat the same shitty teams, who can't build a coaching staff to coach special teams (or anything else), who didn't have the foresight or courage to rebuild when it was a screamingly obvious need, who set back our rebuild by a full year in order to play Damon Huard (are you kidding me??), well, he skates right by...blameless...
