If I were in charge!

For the the next few minutes I'm going to pretend that I had the power to make any changes I wanted to the Chiefs.  I'm going to remake our front office and coaching staff, maybe add a new qb to the mix as well.  This is all takes place minutes after the 2008 season ends.  After you see what I would do, I'm sure you all have other ideas as well, tell us what changes you would make if you were in charge.

First thing first, I would get permission from the Philadelphia Eagles to talk with Director of Player Personnel Jon Sandusky, then I would offer him the GM position with the Chiefs.  After he accepts I would call Carl Peterson into my office and tell him that he is no longer employed with the Chiefs franchise, he loses all 17 of his current roles with the club. 

After GM Sandusky has his press conference, he looks at the current coaching staff and isn't happy.  He is the one that is now calling his former employer to get permission to talk with current Eagles asst. head coach Marty Mornhinweg about becoming the Chiefs Head Coach.  He jumps at the opportunity(I don't think he ever had a chance with the Lions) and secondary coach Sean McDermott, then calling the Carolina Panthers to talk with QB Coach Mike McCoy.  After all 3 accept postions Mornhinweg as HC, McDermott as DC, and McCoy as OC, the coaching staff is put in place, they will hire their own guys for the position coaches.

Now that the new coaching staff is in place I will call Herm into my office and fire him, same with Chan Gailey, then I will send Gunther an email telling him he is fired as well.  Chiefs fans rejoice everywhere as they get what they have wanted for a long time today.

GM Sandusky spends the next month reviewing his roster, and with the help of his new coaching staff decides that some changes need to be made.  The Chiefs rid themselves of some players that don't fit into the rebuilding plans, so long Damian MacIntosh, Donnie Edwards, Damon Huard, and Patrick Surtain.  GM Sandusky then trades Tony Gonzalez to the Packers for 4th and 7th round picks, Larry Johnson is also traded to the Patriots for a 7th, but we eat a 3rd of his salary.  Since we have no NFL qb on the current roster we decide to sign Donovan McNabb to a 3 year 20 million dollar deal plus 12 million guaranteed. 

Now its April and time for the draft, the Chiefs have been on the clock since December.  With the first pick in the draft the Kansas City Chiefs select: Michael Oher OT Ole' Miss.  Round 2: Mark Sanchez QB USC Round 3: Matt Shaugnnessy DE Wisconsin Round 4: Tiquan Underwood WR Rutgers Round 4: Kraig Urbik OG Wisconsin Round 5: AQ Shipley C Penn St Round 6: Sherrod Martin CB Troy Round 7: Chase Patton QB Missouri Round 7: Ryan Succop K South Carolina Round 7: CJ Spillman S Marshall

If JasonM were in charge this is how I would remake the Chiefs, I probably just did more work in this fanpost than Carl Peterson has in the past 3 years.

KC Eagles?

Are you talking about rebuilding the Chiefs or the Eagles?

Your draft should look like this...

Trade down from 2 to 12 for 2nd, 4th rounders. Take Laurinautis at 12 and trade back into the first round at 20 to take Alex Boone (RT). Take Herman Johnson in the the 2nd (RG). Take Keynard Barnes in the 3rd (CB). Take Pat White in the 4th (QB/WR). Also, McNabb is off limits so we should sign JP Losman of Buffalo to be our QB as well as draft a 5th or 6th rounder. Also, we need to sign a pass rusher like Terrell Suggs from Baltimore or Julius Peppers from Carolina.

Alex Boone in the 1st?

Not a chance and I’m sick of the JP Losman talk. This post was mainly for the GM and coaching staff wishlist, I just threw McNabb in there for the hell of it.
