Likely to be the finalized staff...

Even though its irrelevant, Hali can play RE in a 4-3. He was too bulked up before, but if you follow the Chiefs you would know he's a lot lighter and faster now.

[Chiefs=Champions]

I think Hali is most definitely a RDE not a LDE.

West Coast Offense roots are from Paul Brown which is Ohio. It got called West Coast Offense because of the success of the 49ers in the 80s.

Air Coryell Offense roots are from Sid Gillman.

Yep, Walsh originally perfected the WCO in Cincinatti.

He took it with him to STANFORD, where he continued to tweak it. He was at Stanford for 2 years before going to the 49ers.

I was told not to buy for a second that Kiffin wasn't interested in coming here.

Kiffin was talking to Andy Reid last week and was interested.

Dallas knew this. They wanted to hire him as a senior assistant and that's a job he would have taken if not for the Chiefs interest. When Dallas saw KC interested, they fired Ryan and pounced on Kiffin minutes after.

As far as I'm concerned, Dallas did us a favor. I've never been a fan of the Cover 2, even more now in an era where athletic tight ends can just destroy a Cover 2 defense. And that's not even mentioning that we just absolutely do not have the personnel to run a base Cover 2 on this team at this time.

I'm with you. The only thing I'd like to see is Eric Berry moving away from the LOS into his natural place as a ballhawk.

How the **** does Gary Gibbs keep hanging around? Does he have nude pics of Clark or something? 3rd KC Head Coach that he's survived.

Here's how I'm looking at this:

1) I'm not excited by the defensive staff hirings, either. I was initially against the idea of switching to a 4-3, but it grew on me more and more provided we could run 4-3 under stuff. Any way to set our pass rushers loose and create some havoc at the line of scrimmage. Now that we're going to stay in the 3-4 but apparently switch to some 1-gap, that's what I wanted all along. It just isn't a very sexy name that's coming in to coordinate it all. So yeah, it's not good. However...

2) When one considers what people have been saying throughout this entire season of misery, that the key to building any successful team that can win and win consistently is the elite QB, elite GM, and elite HC, that puts some context in the situation. We're GETTING an elite QB. We're GETTING an elite GM. Really the biggest question mark in this process is going to be Andy Reid and if he can learn from his mistakes in Philly. We GOT the foundation for a better team in Kansas City. It's the kind of foundation that has the potential to turn us into a team that's in the playoffs every year and challenges for a Super Bowl every so often. Mediocre defensive coordinator be damned.

3) This defense already has some pretty ****ing good playmakers. And all of them are under contract for at least two years. It's not like we need this elite defensive coordinator to mask the problems of talent. Sure, it can never hurt, but if we get the QB right and there's elite talent coming to this team through the draft like we expect is possibly under Dorsey, there's no reason why Sutton can't find a way to give us an aggressive defense that creates turnovers and gets sacks. And that's all we need. That's all you need period to win a Super Bowl these days. You need a defense, but it doesn't have to be this awesome force of rape. And we can have that.

I don't mean to tell people to settle for mediocrity. Just give it a chance. We're hardly screwed from the beginning with this coaching staff like we were with Haley and Romeo.

Oh, and if you're going to reply to this with "U DONT NO WERE GETTING A QB! U DONT NO WERE GETTING DORSEY! IT'S NOT CONFIRMED YET!" then you may as well save the typing effort and go **** your sister right now.

Just saying. We had quite an impressive string of luck with the Reid and Dorsey hires. We have the #1 pick. And contrary to what the whiners say, I LOVE the offensive staff Reid has assembled. It's something I could only have imagined in my dreams.

Everything has been a home run thus far this offseason until the defensive coordinator. Can't win them all, but that's no reason to think this defense will now be a piece of shit or even a liability.
