Htismaq,
You've convinced me. I now hope the Chiefs fire everybody, turn over 2/3 of their roster in the next 3 years so that the new head coach (who'd obviously be an inexperienced NFL head coach and who's name is not Al Saunders) can immediately implement his Master Plan of reaching the Super Bowl. Great! Sign me up! I'm already a bandwagon fan for the new Mystery Coach/Savior of the Chiefs! Woo-hoo! BTW, EVERY team's goal is to win the Super Bowl, not just a few select teams, but EVERY team.

You could certainly argue both sides. Whatever "unknown" we would have with Saunders certainly wouldn't be lessened by hiring a college coach.
The problem I see with with giving Saunders the job is that too often these coords-turned-head-coach try too hard to continue what the team had going, only they don't have the talent to do it. However many years Green may have left in him, odds are that he will be on the decline soon. Coupled with the loss of two HoF O-lineman, and it seems likely to come sooner rather than later. I don't want Saunders trying to bring in another QB that fits the style because it so rarely works. Also, like I mentioned in an earlier post, the front office doesn't feel that Saunders (or Gun) are well suited to deal with the influx of youth and inexperience that this team is facing. That's where I think a young coach that focuses on fundamentals, and is more in tune with today's athletes will be more effective.

![]() I never said we don't have the luxury of hiring a good coach. I'm saying a great percentage of the coordinators that have gone on to be great head coaches and won Super Bowls did so prior to this day and age of parity and free agency. It does have to do with statistics -- the majority of great coordinators that go on to be head coaches never succeed. It's not pseudo-rational, it's cold hard fact. But you are right, it all boils down to preference. |

The Chiefs will turn over 2/3 of their roster in the next 3 years whether they, you, or I want them to. That is the nature of today's NFL and free agency. There's no such thing as roster continuity. And with the ages of some of the guys on offense, it's an inevitable reality. I'm sorry you don't agree with my opinion. It's too bad you couldn't deal with it in a less childish fashion. |

Htismaq,
Come on Dude! I'm just teasing you! Look, we obviously don't agree about the future of the coaching staff, plain and simple. You don't agree with my side of the argument and I don't agree with yours. But I'd like to think that I can post a sarcastic statement with out being viewed as childlike. Dane |

By the way, I said childISH, not child-LIKE.
Those are 2 pretty different things. ![]() |

I am in agreement with Parker on this one. CP is in charge so he won't hire Al since they don't get along. The next head coach could/will be:
1. Herm Edwards 2. Bill Cowher 3. Stoops or Ferentz CP will pick the guy he is most comfortable with and that aint Al. Last edited by dirk digler; 08-02-2005 at 02:50 PM.. Reason: Brain Fart |

I think what he has accomplished as the OC actually provides evidence that he learned that lesson well.
