Chiefs Go on the record: Who do you want as GM and Head Coach? - Page 15

**OnTheWarpath15** · 12-16-2008, 05:38 PM

Time to make some decisions, folks.

No lists, pick ONE GM.

PLEASE make this realistic. A current GM making a lateral move is not realistic.

Also: Pick a HC that you think would be a realistic choice of your GM.

Post bios if you wish.

I'll start:

GM: Eric DeCosta, 37, Director Of College Scouting, Baltimore Ravens.

HC: Rex Ryan, 46, Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator, Baltimore Ravens.

I'd think that we would get one or the other. I don't see Pioli and Polian coming over to be a part of our organization.

I don't want Cowher as our head coach.

I think that Singletary is going to stay on as the 49ers head coach.

Since everyone seems to hate Herm, can someone please answer the questions below after reading the facts below first?

let's look at the facts.

the offensive line cannot pass protect in a traditional pro-style offense
2 QB's get hurt as a result of the line play
starting pro bowl running back is suspended for 4 games
backup runningback is injured and placed on injured reserve and out for season
#1 wide receiver almost leads the league in dropped passes
2 Defensive ends are on injured reserve (one of them a starter)
the other starting defensive end has been hurt half the season
half of the linebackers have been hurt for most of the season
one of the starting Cornerbacks has been hurt for most of the season
starting QB is a former 7th round pick that has never started before with one year of experience
over half the current roster is a rookie or second year player

Are these circumstances Herm's fault?

Could a good/great coach win significantly more games with these circumstances?

Considering these circumstances, can losing 7 games by 7 points or less be considered maximizing the current roster situation's potential? The Chiefs covered the spread in these games.

Why did Spagnuolo not take a job last year? Did he need more input on personnel decisions or was he just not ready?

Zouk · 12-17-2008, 12:06 PM

GM: Chris Polian
HC: Herm Edwards
OC: Chan Gailey
DC: Rod Marinelli

I have no idea if Polian will be good - but he has experience in scouting and acquiring talent that would fit the model of a Herm/Marinelli D, and a zone blocking Gailey offensive line. That makes it an excellent fit.

I think it's a mistake to bring in a guy like Cowher or Ryan because then Dorsey would not fit their preferred style of D.

Marty Schottenheimer as GM

Herm Edwards as Coach

Replace Gunther Cunningham

I'm sorry, you lost me at "Herm". Then I just got pissed off.

Although this wouldn't be my pick I could feasibly see this as a legitimate possiblity. I personally replace the HC with either Chin, or maybe the guy from the Giants.

If you listen to Clark's criteria, how the hell is Marty as GM a legitimate possibility?

I'm glad Clark is in charge and not the majority of the people in this fanbase.

Just a few days ago people were lambasting Clark, saying he didn't care about winning and was cheap. Funny how quickly things change.
