Yeah...However, I think Pioli will get final say WHO the QB will be.

In the said scenario...

Pioli: "Josh...you did pretty well with both Orton and Cassel."

McDaniels: "Yes"

Pioli: "Well seeing Matt has 'chemistry' with the current players and is already under contract...let's try to rekindle that relationship between you guys. Orton will get an offer somewhere."

McDaniels: "Yes master"

RAC: "But I said Orton sho..."

Pioli: "There is no more to be said regarding this topic."

Exactly what I'm afraid of...hiring Romeo full time and bringing in McDaniels gives Pioli nothing but yes men around him.

I don't think so. I know it flies in the face of what everyone around here believes, but I don't think Pioli ever tells coaches who plays and who doesn't. It's not his job. And no matter how egotistical Pioli is, telling his coaches who to play would mean NO ONE would be willing to coach the Chiefs.

The thing is Cassel was always our best option because Pioli didn't want to bring in anyone else. Last year he drafted Stanzi, and now he signed Orton. Pioli isn't going to be blind to how much better Orton was in all three of his games than Cassel was all year on the same team.

Thats exactly what too many people are forgetting, there isnt a single 'sexy' candidate out there.

And as for Romeo being a 'lackey' or 'foot shuffling porter' to Pioli... ANY coach brought in is going to have to reckon with & cede some power to him, for as long as he's here, period.

Give Romeo a bona-fide OC & lets move on.

[RustShack]

Maybe Crennel hires Todd Haley to be the OC?

I like Romeo better than Haley or Herm. The bar can't get any lower

A fair approach is to look at his ENTIRE body of work.

His defenses were taken to the woodshed in a few games, that's reality.

The constant three and outs on offense had plenty to do with this ..

Yeah, he has the support of the team, but I really don't think that's a negative. The defense continued to improve, he actually beat playoff teams, which is something Haley and Cassel couldn't and the staff is going to get overhauled.

I'm not as down on McDaniels as many, but I don't think for a minute that McDaniels = Cassel.

-Now-

PLEASE...tell me why I am wrong.

Still wanna hear your thoughts about mcdaniels as an oc doesnt mean we will stick with cassel as a starter. Thank you mr bad guy!
