Chiefs Head Coach Question - Page 3

Marada · 10-14-2012, 10:30 PM

After 6 games this season it's apparent and I agree that wholesale changes need to be made. A question I have is what ever happened to Al Saunders. I thought at one time he was in line for the Chiefs Head Coach job. I would love to see him with the talent that we have on this team and work with it. I can't think of anyone else that might be able to repolorize the fan base as he could. He was popular.

Saunders was the OC with the Rams when they fired Scott Linehan midseason, and I remember someone reporting that they didn't even consider him to be the interim HC.

The guy couldn't get a head coaching job if he was getting off a plane in Hawaii with a handful of pardons.

Also, IMHO, Zorn could be on the verge of seeing a great deal of power and opportunity shift his way — if he wants it.

Hell no, I dont' want someone coming in and winning a few games so Chunt thinks that the coach was the main problem. Also that would F our chances at Geno. Just let it bleed, this year is over.

**** retreads, the Chiefs need to clean house. Romeo is a retread and a typical chicken shit Oaklandesk pick... I hate the old man is dead but I love the change in my team even if it hasn't produced many wins... Raiders will be good again all they need is a good solid draft of football players and not track stars... Example Arian Foster, an UNDRAFTED player from Tennessee , "Foster passed 5,000 yards from scrimmage (rushing yards+receiving yards) in his 40th game, becoming the third-fastest player to reach 5,000 yards to do so" Texans struck Gold and are reaping the benefits of that Gold as one of the best teams in the NFL now.

Ya, so where was that "Priest Holmes/Roaf/TG/TG Offense while Saunders was at STL & OAK?????

The problem here is, many fans don't destinguish the diff between good coaching & great players.

Saunders has been in the NFL for 4 decades. He isn't HC material. In fact, he is over rated by this fanbase.

htismaqe · 10-15-2012, 07:20 AM

Al Saunders will never be a HC in this league. He burned too many bridges in San Diego.

dallaschiefsfan · 10-15-2012, 07:48 AM

Chiefs need a young, energetic leader with good management skills and PR skills that will demand excellence from his players and that the players will run through brick walls for. I have no clue who that guy is...but it's not Al Saunders.

We would come in, have two rebuilding years but improve the offense, the thrid year they would have an awesome offense but horrible defense, make the playoffs, have a home game, but lose because of a horrid defense. In the days after the game he would cry about having to get a new Defensive Cordinator and scold everyone for putting him down. After that there would be two mediocre years with no playoffs, after that he retires.

ChiefMojo · 10-15-2012, 09:48 AM

Saunders is a good OC but only that. His time to be a HC is looonngg gone!

People cringe with rehashed coaches but that is just nature of the NFL. Everyone has been fired one time or another after awhile, no matter how good.

Goes back to the likes of Gruden and Billick... these guys are very good coaches but even they came to the end of their rope. IMO they are the type of coaches we need personality wise.
