Gunther will fix the defense now...
Just be patient.
http://chiefsblog.kansascity.com/?q=node/346 Gunther moving downstairs? Gunther Cunningham would like to call the defensive signals from the sidelines for the season's final 11 games. Cunningham, the defensive coordinator, has been working in the press box on game day. Cunningham said it would help the Chiefs make adjustments if he was stationed on the sideline. "We're trying to think of anything we can to put the players in the best position to make plays," he said. His plan needs the approval of head coach Herm Edwards but Cunningham could be on the sideline for the Oct. 19 game against Tennessee at Arrowhead Stadium. |

He's old and hasn't done anything notable in the league since 1997. I guess he might wind up as a linebackers coach somewhere.

Are you excluding Herm? Because he'll probably always be welcome in Chi. and Ind.

There has to be something to the notion that the Chiefs have difficulty developing draftees. Too much smoke. There has to be fire. Or, at least a highly serious burning itch somewhere near the nutbag area. But, to your point, the reason defensive linemen stick out in this regard is because we've drafted so damn many of them trying to find a mature, pre-cooked, self-starting, highly-motivated guy who joins the team with a complete package of starting quality NFL-caliber technique. Over. FAX |

Still, try to think of another member of our coaching staff who will be able to find work in the NFL after this titanic sinks. Herm?- nope. Gailey?- doubtful. Crummy (Krumrie)?- nope. Curl?- nope. Price?- maybe so, maybe no. Probably end up coaching college again, if I were to guess. |

Damn, that is depressing, too. Thanks, Mr. el borracho.

Herm is only 53. Dungy or Lovie Smith will give him a job.
Or some poor hapless franchise will take a chance.

Herm is part of the network and thus has tenure for life. DB coach in Chi or Ind? Sure, why not. |

We'll see in a year or so, I guess. You may be right- his friends probably have enough clout to get him an offer but then you have to ask yourself if Herm would accept a DB coach position, working under one of his more successful friends. And I guess one has the examples of Art Shell and Norv Turner as evidence that proven failures retain access to the NFL head coaching cabal.

Gunther needs an impact player like maybe...Glenn Cadrez. That would elevate his entire defensive squad to the next level.

In Indy, at least, I'm sure Dungy has full control over who is on his staff. If Grandpa had it, I'd have to think Tony does, too. |

Dungy may retire, but if Edwards got on there it'd be funny to see him promoted to head coach. Herm Edwards and Peyton Manning - A MATCH MADE IN HELL!
Can you imagine Peyton telling Herm to mind his own business on 4th down late in the game? If it didn't work...the post-game press conference would be a dooooozy!
