With Philbin gone I would expect Clements just to move up to OC of the Pack.

Clements was a nice thought before the Philbin move and it might’ve been appealing to him with Romeo seemingly on his way to retirement soon. But the Philbin move combined with this staffs inability to look outside of their own “tree” makes it unlikely.

Yeah but OC of the Packers doesn't have as much control as he would have here

Theoretically of course.

1) Clements as OC
2) Sign Peyton Manning
3) Have Clements develop Stanzi or other young QB

If your dreams come true

and we do bring in Peyton and Clements, the OC would likely still have limited control as Peyton will prefer to call his own plays.

by Chiefs4Life on Jan 21, 2012 2:15 PM CST up reply actions  

Makes sense.

OTOH, he probably won’t have the opportunity to call plays there, so KC may still have a shot at him. I don’t know his contract situation, though. If he’s under contract, the Pack don’t have to give permission.

If I'm remembering right from the write-up I did on him last offseason

His contract was up at the end of the 2011 season.

QB to OC wouldn't be a promotion.

Only two designations now of head coach and assistant coach.

You're right.

If he’s looking to call plays or the appeal of a possible head coaching promotion then we would have a leg up on GB. How things have functioned around here since Pioli and friends came in though, I just don’t think they’ll go outside of their tree of old buddies which is unfortunate.

We have no offense right now and a bunch of the offensive coaching staff has or will be canned

Including our OC likely retiring. So we don’t run any system so it would be hard for it to be completely different.

To summarize

We need a new OC to come in and implement something with the talent we have so that we can have more success on offense because what we’re doing isn’t working.

My opinion

I think they system should remain about the same, just so everyone is on the same page going forward. We just need someone to come in and add their own wrinkles, but keep the terminology the same or similar.

As for playcalling, I think it is overrated by fans. If you have a QB that can make all the throws, an O-Line that can keep your QB upright, receivers that can get open, and a RB that can keep the defenses honest — the playcall really doesn’t matter as much. If you have a QB that can call his own plays (Peyton, Brady) you really only need the OC for gameplanning.

I really don't think Pioli is stupid

All options have to be on the table as far as the offense is concerned. Besides, this decision is more on Romeo than anyone. This control freak story is so overblown it’s incredible. If it was as bad as people are making it out to be then this team would be nowhere near as close to being a legit contender as it is right now.

the idea that he's such a control freak...

that he has an iron grip in deciding the assistant coaching staff and the scheme is more or less suggesting that he is stupid. Stubborn is one thing, but I don’t think he’s so stupid as to think he can do it all. I don’t see him being involved with these decisions any further than evaluating what kind of players we have, or will need in order to run whatever system is brought in with a new OC. In the end, he’s going to let Romeo live or die with the decision just like he did with Haley.

by Buck'O on Jan 21, 2012 2:12 PM CST up reply actions  

No worries

I agree that Pioli probably isn’t as much of a micro-manager as the sensationalist media makes him out to be, but I think it is pretty well known he runs a tight ship. Probably tighter than most other NFL organizations, which is why it draws so much press.

The media has been looking for a story to get back at Pioli/Hunt for tuning them out and they finally found it.

But with all that being said, I still think it would be best for Pioli and the rest of the team to keep the offensive system as similar as possible. Terminology is important, and we know we have at least some pieces that fit. The big one that is missing is the QB.

Scapegoat.

People think Pioli was forced to cut Gaither, because Haley never gave him any reps in practice or games, so we didn’t have “film” on him in KC.

But even then, Mims would have had to at least looked good enough to promote to the active roster.

And how exactly do we know that?

Especially with the report of the back and forth Haley and Bowe, there is no proof Haley was on his way out at the time of Gaither’s release.

Gaither was spoken on by Muir himself on why he was cut. I’m not saying Pioli didn’t sign off on the release, but obviously he would have got the same info from the coaching staff, including Haley, that Muir provided the media.

Pioli didn’t already know then that Haley was likely on his way out? Cmon now….There were rumors had we lost the Indy game that Haley was out. Pioli had to have had at least an incling that Haley was going to be gone and there’s no way he would’ve let him make a personel move like that.

Haley was out at the end of the season. I think the Jets meltdown accelerated his plans. And if that’s the case, there was no reason to hang on to Gaither since he was just wasting a roster spot under Haley.

Please stop ignoring the facts for opinions. Pretty please.

Muir told the media, directly, why Gaither was released. He is a coach. If you truly believe Muir was the ONLY coach that Pioli was listening to, or whatever other nonsense we want to come up with regarding the Pioli/Haley relationship, there really is no reasoning with you.

by RememberDelaney37 on Jan 21, 2012 2:44 PM CST via mobile up reply actions  

He may have took other opinions on Gaither

We all knew Muir wasn’t a fan, but Muir isn’t getting blamed by fans — it is Haley. It just doesn’t make sense. The decision was ultimately Pioli’s, not Haley’s or Muir’s. Which is why Pioli deserves the blame. He came to KC to have the final say on all personnel moves. To think he had no opinion on cutting Gaither and gave Muir/Haley the power to make personnel decisions is absurd.

So you are saying Pioli is down there coaching the players and seeing first hand exactly what Muir told the media regarding Gaither's release?

So Muir was just a puppet of Pioli, saying exactly what Pioli wanted him to say to the media???

You contradict yourself, nick, unfortunately. You say Pioli may have taken other’s opinions about Gaither, but ultimately made the decision. Pioli gets opinions from the coaching staff, which is proven of what they thought about Gaither, yet gets the “blame” for his release. Meaning Pioli should have just blatantly told his coaching staff they were wrong about Gaither and kept him on the roster? Then he should have made the staff play him? We all know better than that. We are all intelligent adults here. Its just unfortunate that the bias against Pioli is clouding people’s judgments of something as simple as this.

The coaching staff is ON RECORD saying why Gaither was released, but its not their fault that Gaither was released, because as the ultimate decision maker, Pioli should have defied the coaching staff’s opinion and kept him in the roster, so its clearly Pioli’s fault.

Pioli is the GM, not the coaching staff. Pioli had an opinion and had the final say. We don’t know what his opinion was, but he obviously agreed with the coaching staff.

He is the GM. He makes the personnel decisions. That includes releasing players and signing players off the practice squad.

It still blows my mind

that they cut Gaither and kept Maneri. That alone tells me something was very wrong with Gaither in KC. Maybe he wasn’t playing well (unlikely since he played well in San Diego), maybe his attitude was bad since he wasn’t the starter, maybe he sucks at RT but can still play well at LT. At any rate, someone, somewhere in the Chiefs organization didn’t want to keep him.

You missed the point

People are claiming Pioli released Gaither WITHOUT any reasons corroborated from the coaching staff, despite the opposite being public, with Muir telling the media why Gaither was released.

That is what is conveniently being ignored here to support the hate for Pioli. Like I said in am above comment, no one is saying Pioli didn’t sign off on Gaither’s release, but to say he did it all on his own, or didn’t give any of the coaching staff, specifically Haley, a say in this process is just naive

No one said that

However, what is being said by most fans is that “Haley cut Gaither.”

Muir and Haley obviously didn’t think enough of Gaither to keep him. And maybe for good reason — he wasn’t a ZBS guy when he came here and we knew he would have to adjust.

The fact is, Pioli has the final say on all personnel decisions. Pioli attends practices and watches the O-Line. It wasn’t like he was making the decision blindly and only listening to his subordinates.

I agree that everyone needs to be blamed for missing on Gaither, and that includes Pioli. We are just making an argument that Pioli should be receiving more criticism than he is getting regarding Gaither since he is the one that made the FINAL DECISION, not Haley or Muir.

Hmm, and think about what you just said

Pioli should get the lion’s share of the blame because he didn’t defy his coaching staff’s opinions and keep Gaither in the roster, you know with the “ultimate decision making” label and all. Yet, since it was so obvious Haley was on his way out, there is no way Pioli would have listened to anything Haley said, so why wouldn’t he defy his opinion about Gaither? Obviously because Pioli was a much better coach and spent more time on the field evaluating these players on a daily basis and should have recognized that Gaither needed to remain on the roster, despite what the coaching staff was saying to him. Screw his coaching staff, he was going to fire all of them anyway, so yeah, its definitely mostly Pioli’s fault

Yep

The buck stops with Pioli. He gets credit when he makes good decisions, and he must take the blame when he makes bad ones.

Not saying that cutting Gaither was a bad decision, just that it was his decision to make.

I believe the Haley-Pioli relationship was so strained at the point of the Gaither release, Pioli didn’t give a flying f*** what Haley thought, because he knew he was on his way out.

by Tarkus on Jan 21, 2012 1:37 PM CST up reply actions  

I think he intervened on the plays called quite a bit.

And some games, most when we actually started playing better in the second half, some sideline shots of him suggested he was calling plays too. I think the “play calling by committee” is the most likely scenario if you look at all the confusion on the field and how slow things were getting into the QB.

I'm surprised more progress has not been made

The Chiefs’ season only ended a few weeks ago, but I think it’s interesting we haven’t had more news about our coordinators (even with Pioli’s reputation for shutting down the media). In addition to a new OC, we will need a new O line coach. Both of those guys are going to want to review as much tape as possible to see what we have and what we need, as well as who fits their preferred styles. All of that review and assessment has to be done before FA starts and well before the draft. That could play a big role in if we draft Reiff, Martin, DeCastro or someone else. The fact that no OC or line coach has been named makes me think they are either coaching a team still in the playoffs or are thought to be “hidden gems” hanging around Arrowhead already (I hope not).

And WRs coach as well

There are at least 3 openings on the offensive staff. We need to bring in some new blood and stop promoting from within.

Nicknames I have coined:

Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'
Shaun Smith = 'Big Nasty'
Kelly Gregg = 'Old Gregg'

Bring back Solari!

Solari was great with RRPP.

Don’t deny that.
