Bill Muir Retiring Is News To Bill Muir

PrintSo maybe Bill Muir won't be retiring.
On January 2, NFL Network's Jason La Canfora cited league sources saying Muir, the Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator last season, was "likely" to retire.
Bob Gretz of BobGretz.com spoke to Muir at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama and news of Muir's "likely" retirement was news to Muir. He is not retiring.
(Which begs the question why someone, let alone multiple people, told La Canfora he was.)
But he tells Gretz he will not be the Chiefs offensive coordinator next season. He's currently on the Chiefs staff as the offensive line coach, the position he held before Todd Haley announced his added OC duties last year during Super Bowl week. He says he's planning on staying in that position until someone tells him otherwise.
So, it sounds like Muir very well could end up staying on just as the Chiefs offensive line coach.
Check out the full report, where Gretz lays it all out with quotes from Muir.

You'd miss him.
But shouldn’t Oline coach be up to the OC?

I would think so.
Not sure how that works, though.

I'd think with Romeo as the head coach,
the OC would be defacto lord captain commander of the offense, so would get to pick a staff.

agree
But I would like Muir to stay on as O-line coach

Im sure the OC will have input and preferences
But final call is up to Crennel. Im sure he wouldn’t pick two people who are going to clash to much
Do we go fetal and beg for mercy? Or do we pick up that broken piece of pipe laying on the ground and come up swinging? I choose pipe.

Unless Decastro is drafted!

As LT
So we can move Branden Albert over to his natural position of Tight End/Line Judge.

Muir would like that.
He’s a big fan of Gaither.

exactly. and so is pioli, the man who cut gaither.
Pay Brandon Carr/Romeo
Team Colquitt
Branden Alberts natural position is Center/ Director of player personnel

Agreed, O-line is where I draw the line..
I think Haley had more to do with Gaithers being cut the Muir did..

Even though Muir threw him under the bus after he was cut.

yeah i don't blame muir that much for that
haley wouldn’t let muir do his job, not that muir would of done good at oc, but muir never was given a legit shot at oc. haley called the plays most of the time

You act like he wouldn't have a script to read off of.
He was singing the “company line”—whether it was Todd’s or Scott’s, it was still the KC “company line”—as loudly as he possibly could. A blind man with a hearing aid could see that Gaither could play…someone saying something that dumb, that loudly? With Muir’s experience and knowledge?

Peyton Manning for OC!
He can also throw the ball around if he would like.
That is cray-z.

ol coach. good news.
but it makes me wonder why an offensive coordinator would come here if he cant hire his own staff
Pay Brandon Carr/Romeo
Team Colquitt
not hire, but have say in position coaches on the offensive side* since this is when coaches repay others who helped them get where they are
Pay Brandon Carr/Romeo
Team Colquitt
Nothing there to indicate otherwise.
He says he’s planning on staying in that position until someone tells him otherwise.

They're not lying about looking for a new OC
but they’re keeping Muir in his OL coaching position as well as the others until they get an OC that will go through the staff there and see who he wants to keep and who he doesn’t…some coaches/coordinators can finds some gems in their new position and others do a clean sweep and bring in all new people. That’s how I see it.
There's no hope with dope...
THANK GOD
I could care less if he’s on the team or not at this point but I’m SO GLAD he’s confirmed he will NOT be our OC.
Also does anyone have any real idea why Haley promoted him?
It never made any sense to me even at the time of the announcement.
Because he went nuts?
I don’t know, that’s all I got.

Pioli said it was either McDaniels or Muir, hoping to force him to take McDaniels.
If it wasn’t for the accursed paycheck, would I really imprison myself in this dungeon of the human soul?
by electriclight on Jan 25, 2012 3:21 AM CST up reply actions 1 recs
Duh
Because Pioli strapped him to Haley, like he did with Palko, Gaither, and all those other losers that caused us to get blown out of the water in the majority of losses

Yeah, stupid Gaither!
If it wasn’t for him, we would have been competitive against the Patriots, Jets, Bills and Dolphins!
That is cray-z.
Omg is this a coordinator update Joel??
This is probably the best news we heard in a while

Good! As long as he’s not calling the plays it’s a good thing!

Holy crap!
This is the first bit of good news I’ve seen regarding the team since Romeo was hired. Now, lets get a OC to replace him, re-sign Bowe and Carr, win the super bowl, and be done with it

WHEW! I've just breathed a sigh of relief when I read this article..
We do NOT want to lose a coach this valuable. I mean, the guy’s been around the game since the game was invented.

FU#K!!
It’s like trying to get rid of a bad penny….or a teacher in the NY public school system. It’s almost like he is our very own Milton!!! Someone check the records, I am sure he was removed from payroll by Hank back in the 60s. Then get to HR and stop giving him checks. The rest should work itself out…no need for a confrontation.
To make a bad day worse, spend it wishing for the impossible.
I've had the same dream every night this week. I think it means that the spring season flopped and my subconscious has gone into reruns.

I like this
Muir is a solid O line coach, but he should not be the OC. The best Oline performance we’ve had since Pioli came to town is when Muir was OC
There are no stupid questions just stupid people
this is just nuts.
What else can one say?

Fantastic
Seriously. This is good news. I think Muir has done a pretty damn good job with the offensive line. I, for one, am glad to have him back and devoting all his time to that role.
what i would like to know is up in tell haley got fired what was the percentage of
haley calling the plays or muir. my money on haley called most of the offensive plays this season
will the chiefs ever draft a Qb in the first round, not since todd blackledge in 83. and the chiefs could of had marino. OH well atleast 65 toss power trap worked for KC, it should be wide open red. Hank stram still the man.
