Chiefs Go on the record: Who do you want as GM and Head Coach? - Page 24

**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.

Talent or draft position does not insure success. Look at Vernon Gholston. Is he talented? Yes. Has been successful yet? No. Herm deserves credit for developing talented players.

Herm has supported Gailey in designing an offense that suits Thigpen. Most NFL QB's could not be productive behind that offensive line.

And to answer your question about Charles, Charles has shown that he has the ability to play in this league. He has shown that he can make big plays. He can catch the ball and be a change of pace back for LJ.

What did Greg Hill show when he was drafted? He was a high draft pick. Using your line of thinking, he was talented, he should have been successful.

Going into almost every game the opposing roster is more talented and more experienced. You have unrealistic expectations. The same unrealistic expectations held by most people on this board. Very rarely can you take free agents off the street and start them in the NFL and expect to win. Do you know how many players the Chiefs have on their roster like that?

Did we get good players from the last draft? Yes but i say just off the top of my head had any of the following teams had the same picks their results based on their history
would have been just as good as ours.

new england
pittsburgh
ny giants
tenn
denver
sd
tamps bay
carolina
green bay
dallas
Thats just off the top of my head I am prob leaving someone out...

You love mediocrity. I may have unrealistic expectations, but I want to win, not suck off the head coach of a 2-12 team.

If you are satisfied with this team with Herm, please shoot yourself.

Thank you.

GM: Jim Schaaf
Coach: John Mackovic.

Or, sorry.
Thought it was 1985 again.

I don't understand how after watching Herm for three seasons someone can honestly say to themselves "this is the guy I want managing the game in a Super Bowl".

Denial is the only logical explanation.

I disagree. He is a horrible coach. He isn't coaching these players up. He can't make adustments and he can't anticipate what adjustments his opposition might make. He has a record over the last two years of 6-26. These numbers do count. Many a coach gets fired for that. Would you say Norv is a horrible coach..?...me too. I see no difference between the two. The most recent SD debacle is the most glaring example of a horrible coach getting out coached by a horrible coach.

Herm will not be missed by anyone except those who love to lose.

The piece of shit doesn't even watch the Super Bowl. What competitive NFL head coach doesn't watch the biggest game in their sport?

chiefzilla1501 · 12-19-2008, 01:14 PM

There's an ENORMOUS difference. Norv Turner was given a roster full of pro bowlers in the prime of their careers. He has a first round QB, an MVP running back, a decent offensive line, and a defense that ranked in the top 5 for years without losing many players to injury, age, or free agency. Herm Edwards has had to deal almost exclusively with lower round draft picks and undrafted rookies. There's a difference between coaching up a first round player like Philip Rivers and a 6th round QB like Tyler Thigpen.

The claim that Turner and Herm have similar situations couldn't be more wrong.

I agree that a lot of players aren't being coached up. But I also believe that he has had a far greater challenge coaching guys up than any coach in the NFL. No coach has been asked to do more with as little as Herm has.

So yeah, the big difference between the two is that Norv is making chicken shit out of chicken salad, while Herm is making chicken shit out of chicken shit.

Hold the **** on.

Mediocre?

Did you just call Herm Edwards mediocre?

I'd LOVE to know you're definition of the word mediocre.

Here's mine:

: of moderate quality, value, ability, or performance : ordinary, so-so

I challenge to you find a person on this board, other than yourself, that thinks that a 54-72 record is ANYTHING resembling mediocre - so we can all point and laugh at them.

Herm is SO BAD, that a PERFECT regular season in 2009 STILL leaves him one game below .500.

There is nothing you can say to make a 54-72 record over 8 years acceptable as mediocre...

Even then, we aren't striving to be mediocre, which the Herm backers don't seem to comprehend.

And another odd thing about Herm: losses don't seem to bother the guy. Vermeil, Schottenheimer, and even Gun were visibly undone by losses. With Herm, not so much. And another thing: the night before the playoff loss with Indy, Herm was out eating dinner with Dungy and his wife. Herm just likes the idea of being part of the NFL fraternity of head coaches. I really don't think he is driven to win at all cost like just about every other head coach.

Titty Meat · 10-14-2012, 08:26 PM

Can we bump this since Pioli/Crennel should be fired?

Curious to see if the choices from 4 years ago will still be the same. DeCosta seems to be everyones #1 choice of GM.

Pasta Little Brioni · 10-14-2012, 08:29 PM

Hooray for lackeys!!!

chiefzilla1501 · 10-14-2012, 08:31 PM

Glad to see some vindication. Took some major abuse for saying Herm did some good things on the personnel side.
