Now everyone thinks he's a top 3 football coach and that was never the case...

If Denver signs Bill Belichick, then color me worried...but the mere presence of Cowher with their current roster doesn't really scare me.

Wow, so Shanahan wasn't as good without John Elway and Cowher wasn't as good without Big Ben.

I remember people wanting Cowher to come to KC before the Steelers' SB... I'd welcome him to KC, but then again I'd welcome Elmer Fudd as HC if it meant getting rid of Herm.

Oh wow. I am shocked.

FloridaMan88 · 12-30-2008, 05:02 PM

And Clark still thinks he can wait a month to hire a GM and then be able to decide on Herm's fate and still have halfway decent potential head coaches available to select from should he decide to fire Herm??

Good Lord

And Belichick is the one who "lucked" into the greatest 6th round pick in NFL history. Shanahan probably "lucked" one of the greatest 6th round running backs in NFL history. But apparently Cowher was held hostage at gunpoint and "lucked" into the 11th pick in the draft. Yeah right. I personally don't think I'd rank Cowher ahead of Belichick or maybe even Shanahan, but this "lucked out" garbage to defend your opinion is a bunch of crap. Especially when you're talking about a top 15 draft selection. There aren't too many teams that win a Super Bowl that don't catch a lucky break here and there.

Yeah, I didn't word that right...I didn't mean he lucked into Ben Roethlisberger...obviously they drafted him and thought highly of him...but they had no plans starting him until Maddox got hurt and then he rattled off like 8 straight wins and they finished 15-1...

But what I'm saying is...before Roethlisberger Cowher was thought of as nothing more than an average coach who many people wondered how he still had a job and why he was the longest tenured coach when he really had done nothing other than choke in the playoffs...

Now don't get me wrong...Cowher stopped using the Marty 'pound the rock' offense and turned the reigns over to Ken Whisenhunt and that offense was awesome...they used Ward and Randle El (both former QB's) and had a lot of awesome gadget plays and used a great mix of run plays and pass plays (and had Bettis and discovered Willie Parker) and even used one of the greatest gadget plays I've ever seen against Seattle in the Super Bowl...

Cowher and his staff were awesome that year...played great defense and balanced offense and weren't afraid of taking risks...

All I'm saying is...that season appeared to get in his head as they didn't show much the following season and then he decided to take some time off...

I'm just worried that he is complacent...and isn't willing to work around the clock like he used to...because he's been there, done that...and now he thinks he knows it all...

I don't know, I could be wrong...but I really like what I saw with the new guys this year...fresh set of eyes getting a chance to live their dream...and we're in a position to get one of those QB's that worked so well for Harbaugh and Mike Smith...plus we already have a roster full of young guys...it's a perfect situation for a young coach and a young GM.

Me too. Ryan can coach up the defense. I trust Gailey with the offense. I love it when a plan comes together.

Is that better than the Chiefs during the last eight years?

...not counting those 2 Superbowls, they haven't been much better than the Chiefs. Also, aside from getting shot in the head, Abraham Lincoln really enjoyed the play.

Hootie · 12-30-2008, 05:06 PM

Basically...I was a guy who kind of wanted to take the Orakpo/QB in the 2nd or 3rd approach...and then I was looking at a lot of teams past drafts and realized that the best teams on a year to year basis don't necessarily have good drafts...or great drafts...some of them even have extremely poor drafts...

The one constant that makes a team good is QB play...plain and simple...the offense needs a QB to go...and the defense feeds off of a guy like Peyton who they can depend on to win games even if they make constant mistakes...and if Peyton keeps bailing them out it gives them even more motivation to make plays and help him out for once...that's what I notice with Indy's defense this year...they are god awful...but they continue to try and get that big play because they know that Peyton and the offense can always bail them out if the **** up.

I'm not sure if that makes a lot of sense to anyone...but I can assure you...the Colts defense isn't that much better than the Chiefs defense...regardless of what the numbers might suggest.

A lot of fans on this board are unrealistic...

1 Super Bowl win every 10-15 years in today's NFL (parity) is about all you can expect.

Dynasties in the NFL should be dead...which makes what the Patriots have done astonishing...they simply out coach and out scheme everyone...and see the big picture in the offseason better than any team.

booger · 12-30-2008, 05:08 PM

omg

shefter mentioned hypathetically wouldn't KC love to hire him IF they look to replace Edwards.
