The #1 reason CP should say YES to Al Saunders - (And the main reason he won't)
Forget about the fact that he's coordinated the top offense in the nfl the last 4 years. Forget the fact that he's obviously the best candidate available and already on the staff. Forget the fact that whether he stays or goes could decide whether hall of famers on the offensive line stay or go.
The real reason Saunders should be named head coach is right here. The real reason Saunders WON'T be named head coach is also right here as well. This was from last summer and I bookmarked it for future reference. Some of you may recall a guy from the coalition by the name of "former db" from training camp last year. He's a media guy and former football player from Pittsburgh who is also a die hard chiefs fan. He covered the Chiefs training camp last year and provided some really good interviews and info. Anyway, he had this to say about a conversation with Frank Ganz last summer: http://www.chiefscoalition.com/Forum...=29295&hl=ganz Quote:

Larry Johnson doesn't make or break Al Saunders.

I guess my question is, what exactly has Saunders done to make anyone think he can fix this team? What aspect of coaching is better than Vermeil at?

We should stop debating this nonsense. Saunders isn't our new HC.

I can live with him getting the job, but I would much rather get the rebuilding started now rather than in two years when it's critical. But I agree that he'll not get the job. Then all the Saunder-baters can start their boo-hoo campaign for the next 9 months.

I can see the threads now if our offense has a bad game. "WE SHOULD HAVE KEPT AL"

I'm not advocating him getting the job, I think he should be considered though. I think he deserves another shot somewhere. If Gregg Williams deserves another shot, Al Saunders sure as hell deserves another shot.
But I don't think we'd have to go a massive rebuilding job either though. We're young on the defensive side of the football, and Waters/Wiegmann/Black/Welbourn make up a decent 4/5ths of the line. Just need a WR and a LT, we're good to go. Some of you people are way too eager to trash everything and spend another 3 years starting from scratch. I think you're all nuts. All that will accomplish is wasting LJ's best years and the last few good years of Gonzalez's career. |

We don't have to trash anything. If Al can swallow his pride, he should stay as the offensive coordinator.

Saunders: Waited 20 years to prove he can be a HC again... great offensive mind, unproven in building an entire team. Carroll: Had some success at the NFL level, considered too rah-rah by some though for the NFL. Will want complete control of football operations most likely. Stoops: Won with other people's recruits, not quite as good since they left, doesn't have the NFL experience other college coaches do. Ron Rivera: Very young in terms of coaching experience, is getting talked up based on one good year with a defense with numerous Dick Jauron draft picks. Gregg Williams: Team fell apart in first HC gig, players questioned him, may have learned from that (could say the same with Saunders) but apparently has no interest in coming to KC though. Butch Davis: Totally lost control in Cleveland, quit, made lots of bad decisions, poor draft picks, team didn't trust him at all. Last edited by tk13; 12-26-2005 at 06:09 PM.. |
