Kansas City Chiefs add Maurice Carthon to Coaching Staff

Feb 19, 2009, 3:51:39 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Thursday that the club has added Maurice Carthon to head coach Todd Haley’s coaching staff. Carthon will serve as assistant head coach.

Carthon owns 15 years of NFL coaching experience and most recently served two seasons as the running backs coach with Arizona (2007-08). Prior to joining the Cardinals, he was the offensive coordinator for Cleveland (2005-06). The Osceola, Arkansas native served as the offensive coordinator/running backs coach for two seasons with Dallas (2003-04). He spent two campaigns with Detroit (2001-02), one each as running backs coach (2001) and offensive coordinator (2002). He served as the running backs coach for four years with the N.Y. Jets (’97-00) and also held the post of assistant head coach in 2000. Carthon began his coaching career with New England (’94-96).

In addition, the Chiefs announced the responsibilities of six other members of Kansas City’s coaching staff:

Chan Gailey (offensive coordinator)
Bob Bicknell (tight ends)
Joe D’Alessandris (assistant offensive line)
Steve Hoffman (special teams)
Bill Muir (offensive line)
Dedric Ward (wide receivers)

prolly because they have been in the super bowl in the more recent history compared to...yeah that long ago

We are hitting the Parcells tree.

Look for the draft to build from the inside out.

Okay. Stupid question time.

It's become standard operating procedure for NFL teams to have a specific coach for each main position (offensive line, linebackers, etc.). However, there is one special teams coach who (I suppose) is responsible for field goals as well as punts and kickoffs (both kicking and return teams). That seems a little strange to me. One would think that there is difference enough between return teams and kicking teams to warrant specialization in those areas. No?

I think it'll start from behind center, then from the inside out.

Something I've always wondered as well. Seems like you'd like an offensive influence for the kicking side, and a defensive influence for the coverage unit.

I guess we're going in opposite directions.

I'm really shocked at Mo Carthon. The guy's really never done anything and was ousted in Cleveland after one season as the OC because he was a dick AND the offense sucked.

Assistant Head Coach?

And so many people thought Dick Curl was bad.

talastan · 02-19-2009, 04:15 PM

Okay my real concern for the offensive staff....QB coach?

This will be the most important positional coach this year. Whether we draft Stafford/Sanchez or go with Thigpen they'll need someone to help develop them. Hasn't been brought up yet.

I thought he was an up and coming coach when he was in Dallas?

BTW Thanks for the info I didn't know that he had a bad reputation.

Well at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Ron Erhardt.

How many more Parcells guys are lying around?

He was only in Dallas because of Parcells.

Actually, his whole entire career is due to Parcells.

Mr. Arrowhead · 02-19-2009, 04:19 PM

I think Maurice Carthon is great addition to the staff
