If not Shanahan..
... then it might really be the case that Todd Haley is the candidate Pioli is focusing on. With that in mind, somebody posted this article/editorial on another Chiefs forum which I found kind of interesting:
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...th-kansas-city Ten Reasons Kurt Warner Will Sign with Kansas City The Kansas City Chiefs fired coach Herm Edwards after posting a 15-34 record in three seasons, including 2-14 this season. Since the hiring of Scott Pioli as general manager, it has been rumored that changes within the organization will occur. Former Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan's name continues to surface as a possibility of becoming the next head coach; however, it remains unlikely Shanahan will be coaching in Kansas City next season. After the Super Bowl, the Chiefs will seek permission to talk with Arizona offensive coordinator Todd Haley regarding the vacant coaching position. Haley's stock has flourished in conjunction with the Cardinals run through the NFC playoffs and the team's first ever Super Bowl appearance. Both Haley and Pioli have one major connection: Bill Parcells. Only three NFL franchises have posted worse records than the Chiefs in the past three years; Detroit, Oakland and St. Louis. Kansas City has traditionally been a winning franchise until recently. Since the Chiefs play in a weak AFC West division, the possibility of turning the franchise around in a shorter period of time increases. If the Chiefs decide to hire Haley as head coach, he will bring the explosive passing offense from Arizona to Kansas City. Haley needs a gunslinger for a quarterback and balance at the wide receiver position to be successful. Mel Kiper has posted his 2009 mock NFL draft on espn.com. Right now, Kiper has the Chiefs selecting USC quarterback Matt Sanchez at No. 3. Kansas City does need to upgrade the quarterback position, but Kiper based this selection on Edwards still being coach. The hiring of Haley will probably lead the team to select Texas Tech WR Michael Crabtree with the No. 3 pick. Realistically, Haley wants a quick turnaround with the franchise and drafting a QB will slow him down. Crabtree provides Haley with a balanced wide receiver attack, similar to Larry Fitzgerald and Anquin Boldin in Arizona, with Dwayne Bowe and future hall-of-fame TE Tony Gonzalez. The Chiefs already have RB Larry Johnson and Jamaal Charles in place. Ultimately, Haley will be seeking a free-agent quarterback. If Kansas City does hire Haley as head coach, the following 10 reasons represent why Kurt Warner will be the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback next season: 1. Haley is head coach 2. Warner has familiarity with Haley's offensive system 3. Warner is an unrestricted free-agent 4. Economic decision by Arizona Cardinals. Matt Leinart was No. 10 pick in 2006 NFL Draft and makes a substantial amount of money as a back-up. Can't keep him on the bench much longer. 5. At 37, seeking a potential two-year deal to finish career 6. Guarantee starting quarterback job 7. Gets to throw to Bowe, Crabtree and Gonzalez 8. Play in a weak AFC West division 9. Opportunity to play in the Midwest (originally from Cedar Rapids, Iowa) 10. Irony. Began NFL career in Missouri (St. Louis); will end NFL career in Missouri (Kansas City) If that turns out to be true, do you think the Chiefs will go after someone like Harrell or Freeman as a 2 year grooming project? I guess I will be watching the Senior Bowl today with the extra incentive of watching Harrell and the rest of the Senior QBs. |

Look at the Titans, Cardinals, Packers, Steelers, etc. Sign the vet, draft the rookie, and you've covered all the bases. If the rook is ready you start him and have a solid 3-4 game b/u. If he's not ready you have a guy to keep the team floating until he is. It's not either build for the future or win now, it's doing both...

On the contrary, one of the youngest teams with some talent could benefit from an experienced pilot.

We have to care.
Otherwise Pioli would be mean. And that would be wrong. |

I'm seeing mixed reactions here. But let me ask you, will you be watching the Senior Ball with extra attention on the QBs?

it is a valid point but I doubt Warner can offer any more "knowledge" than Huard could. Warner is just a better passer.
I don't have a problem with a qb pick, just the waste of $$ it would take to get him here. And why would he even consider coming here? He'd be crazy to leave the Cards and the Vikes could use a qb and are a lot closer to competing than we are. We couldn't compete next year if God was the head coach, Christ was the OC, the devil at DC and mother mary the trainer. |

if he comes to KC, and we draft a #1 QB etc; will the draftee start? or will Warner?
Either way, whoever starts will be dead by week 6.
