Chiefs Quest for a new OC.

Micjones · 06:07 PM

2010 brings some excitement with it considering all of the smoke these 'Crennel to KC' rumors we've been hearing lately. The organization would be remiss not to bring in an equally strong Offensive Coordinator to relieve Haley of his duties.

Who might be available for the job in the off-season?

Charlie Weis, La Canfora seems to think KC will be his eventual landing spot but this one hasn't been corroborated by as many sources. In fact, I think he's currently the only source speculating that this will happen. Weis would be particularly beneficial to the growth of our 60-million-dollar man Matt Cassel. Can he and Pioli play nice?

Rob Chudzinski, Currently an assistant head coach for the Bolts. He had a hand in the Top 10 offense that the Browns fielded in 2007. Derek Anderson, Kellen Winslow, Jr. and Braylon Edwards all posted their best single-season efforts with him at the playcalling helm. He's coached (and helped) some uber-talented TE's over the years.

Who else is out there?

I thought maybe Kyle Shanahan would shake loose from Houston, but it looks like Kubiak's going to retain his job.

...discuss.

Jagodzinski? Naw, not part of the tree...

I don't understand why anyone would look at a future NFL schedule and try to predict wins and losses for any team. It's to the point where the only thing you can count on is a few likely losses and and whole lot of uncertainty.

Quite a few of those opponents won't be a whole lot better than us, if at all.

Every team on that list, save STL, was better than us THIS YEAR.

So, who is going to get worse, IYO?

Or is this the year of the Atlanta/Miami turnaround, + 1 year?

The NFL, if it does nothing at all, proves again and again that expectedly strong teams turn out to be disappointing while expectedly bad teams turn out to be surprisingly good.

I wouldn't mind this if Weis decided he was more hungry for buffalo wings up in Buffalo over KC BBQ.

I picked the Chiefs to win 4 games this season and lose 12 back in August.

Today, I received a $500 payment via Paypal for said prediction.

I'm not getting to 10. San Fran, Buffalo, Oakland x 2, St Louis & Seattle with one win against Denver.

7 wins is my guess. Maybe we beat Jacksonville, but I wouldn't count on it.

San Fran?

With their run game?

Ouch.

My thing is will the new OC run the same offense Haley has been running? Same terminology and all? I think it would make for another transition period which I think would be bad for our players at this point if we changed schemes. I think the O line is getting "it" and Charles has "it". If Cassel's gonna get "it" changing the offense will only hender that IMO.

That's an excellent point, but I'm sure they'll consider that a minor hurdle if we could land a guy like Weis.

I suppose you could keep the job in-house and promote a guy like Carthon (yuck).

I would think if we were going to hire from within, someone would have been sharing the play-calling load with Haley at some point in the season. I haven't gotten to see a lot of games, but I've followed all of them I could on the radio and net and I haven't heard of anyone else sharing OC responsibilities.
