Chiefs Another terrible head coaching idea... please flame away - Page 2

**RealSNR** · 12-23-2008, 12:37 PM

I'm going to get verbally raped over this. But that's cool, because there's a small chance that it might be a good idea.

Okay, how about this? Ready? Okay.

Brian Billick.

We bring in Brian Billick as head coach. I thnk Marvin Lewis gets canned in Cincy and he comes back as a defensive coordinator. The GM works with Billick to find an offensive coordinator that doesn't suck (perhaps Chan sticks on) and this time Billick works better with the offense now that he's not inheriting a defense-first team (or an offense-first team for that matter, but still...)

Is it unlikely? Yes. Is it stupid? Maybe, but leaning towards yes. Is it stupid to even talk about such a scenario where such big ego coaches would voluntarily get together on a crap team to try to repeat what they had 8 years ago and left for selfish glory? I think so.

But could it work? You know what, I think it would.

Yep. If Kyle Boller turned out to be even halfway decent, the Ravens would have won another Super Bowl under his tenure.

However, I am going to say no to Billick. I want someone new and fresh to help rebuild this team.

Brock · 12-23-2008, 01:40 PM

Thought Elvis Grbac was good.

How is it that guys like Mike Martz can continually get practice squad foodder and turn them into legit NFL quarterbacks, whereas Brian Billick went through 4 or 5 and coudln't get anything?

Maybe it's because Martz is a much better offensive football coach.

Yep. I think Billick's success at Minnesota had more to do with having Randy Moss than any brilliance on Billick's part.

Chiefnj2 · 12-23-2008, 01:57 PM

I don't think I'd want to bring in a head coach that was unable to develop a QB when that is exactly what KC needs.

InChiefsHeaven · 12-23-2008, 01:59 PM

I agree...but I sure do like his Coors Light commercials...

Damnit

He's been one of my top choices to replace Herm ever since Herm was hired.

**Bugeater** · 12-23-2008, 03:23 PM

I find it a bit ironic that Baltimore got their QB issues figured out as soon as the offensive genius left.

And having Chris Carter, Jake Reed, Robert Smith and a couple Pro Bowlers on the OL didn't hurt either.

Yeah, ironic isn't it? I never could figure out Billick. The man was an offensive genius in Minnesota, yet in all his years in Baltimore, he could never develop one quarterback, and his offense was never very good, yet his defenses were dominant year in and year out. It would appear that he was just in a can't miss situation in Minnesota, much like many people say Gun was in his first stint here. I think I pass on Billick.

Billick and Mike Nolan are putting themselves together as a package deal, that's the rumor anyway.

blueballs · 12-23-2008, 05:10 PM

soon to be followed by the Mora Jr
Mooch
and Butch Davis for HC threads

RustShack · 12-23-2008, 05:12 PM

Haven't the Bengles had a bad defense under Lewis like the entire time hes been there?
