Official Hire Mike Shula Thread

[KCJohnny]

Shula coached Brodie at Alabama. He helped propel the average-talent Jags QBs into an intimidating 12-4 team this year, including QBs David Garrard and Quinn Gray.

If we offer Shula an OC job, he knows all about Brodie Croyle having been his head coach. This saves the Chiefs a draft pick at #1 and allows us to win the Jake Long Sweepstakes or the Darren McFadden sweepstakes or ___________________________ sweepstakes.

Bottom line: Jax scored over 400 points this year and hiring Mike Shula JUST MAKES SENSE!!!!

GO CHIEFS!!!

I think DV was close. G-Rob should have been the answer, but DV hogged all the talent to the offensive side of the ball and squandered many a good draft.

Back to the thread topic, if Bates > than Shula, its by potential, not demonstrated performance. It takes a real smart HC to sniff out potential. If Herm's drafts are any indication, he may sign a young gun with loads up upside and potential to assist in his youth movement.
