Chiefs Go on the record: Who do you want as GM and Head Coach? - Page 2

**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.

Polian is far and away my favorite Gm candidate, now if he were to get hired I'd expect him to want to have an offense something like the one in Indy which is completely anti Herm.

If me, read the DeCosta bio, and look at Baltimore's drafts - they are rock solid.

And Rex Ryan? Dear God, I hope I don't have to SELL anyone on Rex ****ing Ryan...

No, i meant as in general for the thread for everyone who responds.

Someone will get upset cause he's been mostly a 3-4 guy.

Precisely, I want a GM that is young and from a successful program, and I want a head coach that attacks on BOTH sides of the ball.

HC:
Josh McDaniels (without Matt Cassell)

The Patriots offense lost the best player in the NFL and he really has called some great games.

Guys-

Do these GM's and HC have any connection, or are you just listing guys separately that you happen to like?

As long as he doesn't bring a defense like Indy's with him.

Hello, 2003 Chiefs.

I want to Peter Principle some doosh co-ordinator who then will pick his brother in law as the HC.

I'd like to think thats true but he just seems to close to the Dungy-Herm-tampa family. He was my first choice untill I started to worry about that connection, although surely his dad is wise enough to point out that if you take Manning/Moore away from Indy Dungy goes nowhere. I don't know that connection just gives me the hebby jebbys.

I'm also sure he's aware being there that Tony Dungy wouldn't be remotely the coach he was if Manning didn't have the sack to break him early on. Manning stood up to him and made him change.

I just listed the two guys that are, imo, the "hot prospects".

I think the point with why he said that is most GM's will hire a head coach they are personally familiar with.

I don't think you really have to have a connection to someone to hire them as HC's.

The Patriots guy didn't have one to Mike Smith. Ozzie Newsome didn't have one to John Harbaugh.

I think McDaniels and Spagnuolo are 2 of the best coordinators in the NFL.

I have some concerns. For one thing, does this require us to move to a 3-4 (I argued this in another thread that it's not a terrible idea).

Here's what concerns me most. I think there are a lot of awesome coaches who just weren't meant to ever be head coach material. As a head coach, you become more removed from the X's and O's and it becomes more important how you manage your staff and players. I just see Ryan as a guy his players will learn to hate. As a coordinator, you can rip apart your players and be the jerk. As a coach, you also have to be their friend. I'm not sure if Ryan has that in him. Also, as we learned from Gregg Williams, you have to be able to manage the ball from both sides of the ball, so the head coach has to be cool enough to realize that he can't control everything. Too often head coaches try to become too involved in the side of the ball they have too limited experience dealing with.

My sense is that Ryan is a football genius and yet you rarely ever hear his name come up for consideration from most teams, which leads me to believe that other GMs might be on the same wavelength as me.
