Blaming Saxon for Johnson being tentative on the field is insane.

What is Saxon's job as RB coach? Please outline responsibilities and tell me which ones he succeeded in this year.

Well, according to LJ, the white man doesn't understand the pain and flustration of the young black player. This could account for Saxon's inability to teach LJ to block and stuff. I was just wondering if maybe Snoop Dogg knows anything about toting the rock. If so, I would have a rumor I could put in the new thread.

I put this in my grades but Saxon busted his ass with Priest in training camp, often after practice had already concluded. I think he was a good trooper here.

Rational thinking is not required, when Herm is throwing people under the bus.

Was Saxon a main proponent of playing Priest over Kolby? It sure seemed like Herm didn't want to, even all the way back to training camp. Maybe I'm wrong.

i already did


Priest Holmes - brought in as a 3rd down back .... became the most productive back in Chiefs history under Saxon.

Larry Johnson - n00bie draft pick became top back in the league under Saxon

Kolby Smith - n00bie draft pick drafted in 5th round did a fine job after getting thrown into the fire after johnson got hurt.

Kris Wilson - tightend convert to fullback was passable

Boomer Grigsby - linebacker turned Fullback is developing


Players have shown consistent improvement with Saxon ...... how many other coaches in KC can say that?


firing Saxon was a foolish,scapegoat move.

then you didn't listen ....


many people have previously said that Saxon was a keeper. Also that Solari was a keeper as an Oline coach.

That's an interesting take, Mr. doomy3. He probably did prefer Priest given their history. Meanwhile, Herm's shoving the "go young" strategy all the way to the hilt, which makes sense. With all young players, Herm has a ton of built in excuses which is good for him.

I don't know though. I'm sort of leaning toward the theory that Saxon was a DV holdover and those guys are probably not drinking the koolaid with broad smiles.

The Chiefs running game sucked this year. Nobody involved with the running game got their job done, with the possible exception of Kolby Smith.

How anyone can complain about any firing of an offensive coach after this season is beyond me. I think Herm deserves at least another year, but if he'd been fired along with the entire staff, I wouldn't have lost any sleep over it. As much as some people thought the Chiefs would struggle this season, they failed to meet all but the most pessimistic expectations. I'm not even sure Dr. Doom expected this much failure.

Saxon has shown that in a viable offense he can field productive Running backs.


firing Saxon just goes to show that these changes weren't as much about evaluation as it was getting rid of that nagging Arena ball stuff leftover from the previous staff.
Where do you get the insight to be able to sort out where the blame lies for a complete failure of the Chiefs' running game?

Oh, and LJ consistently sucked when we were on our 1st running back of the year so don't try to play the injury card in Saxon's defense.
