Chiefs Another terrible head coaching idea... please flame away - Page 3

**RealSNR** · 12-23-2008, 12:37 PM

I'm going to get verbally raped over this. But that's cool, because there's a small chance that it might be a good idea.

Okay, how about this? Ready? Okay.

Brian Billick.

We bring in Brian Billick as head coach. I thnk Marvin Lewis gets canned in Cincy and he comes back as a defensive coordinator. The GM works with Billick to find an offensive coordinator that doesn't suck (perhaps Chan sticks on) and this time Billick works better with the offense now that he's not inheriting a defense-first team (or an offense-first team for that matter, but still...)

Is it unlikely? Yes. Is it stupid? Maybe, but leaning towards yes. Is it stupid to even talk about such a scenario where such big ego coaches would voluntarily get together on a crap team to try to repeat what they had 8 years ago and left for selfish glory? I think so.

But could it work? You know what, I think it would.

I craved Billick when he was coming off coordinating that record breaking offense with the Vikings (that was the offseason Marty resigned and the Chiefs went with Goonther instead).

But after watching his failures on offense in Baltimore I don't want him.

Brian Billick showed he can use talent of he has it but he isn't a good judge of it, Baltimore whiffed on alot of offensive players in that period.

Head Coaches don't have necessarily have to be good running an O or D to be successful HC. The biggest thing they need to do is set the tone for the team. Keep everyone focused, upbeat and motivated to get better is really important. Example: Mike Tomlin was in charge of a 4-3 as Minnesota DC and now is doing well as Steelers HC who run a 3-4. Mike Smith (I think it was him) was a position coach and now has the Falcons in the playoffs.

Actually Mike Smith was Jacksonvilles DC.

Ok not him but I thought someone got hired in the off season who was a position coach.

The closest to that is probably Harbaugh who was a special teams coach.

Isn't this exactly what Herm is good at, or what he is being praised for by the media and players?

Frazod · 12-23-2008, 07:49 PM

Well, he's better than ****ing Martz.

then, no I wouldn't want him.

Reerun_KC · 12-23-2008, 09:24 PM

No thanks, Didnt he sign Grbac to a monster deal? Plus he had lunch with KCJohnny in the middle east and said he liked Herm...

That was the deal breaker for me...

True but Herm's Tampa 2 with no pass rush negates this. We haven't been able to hold any lead in the 4th qtr this year because of his D.

I think Sporano was a defensive line coach.
