Kansas City Chiefs Coaching Staff As It Stands Now

With an outside OC

Not sure how we keep Carthon, Parmalee, Sirianni, and Muir.

I guess Weis pretty much kept everyone. He hired his own TE coach in Parmalee though.

I would think an OC would want some of his own guys especially since Romeo is a defensive coach. Whoever the OC is will have a load of responsibility and should be able to work well with his positional coaches.

How long should you try? Until.

Whoever the offensive coordinator winds up being

I certainly hope they are capable of running the offense. The Chiefs were basically without an offense all season long this year. Of course, part of that problem was the fact that we did not have a quarterback who could move the ball until Orton came in and did so after a total of two weeks in the system. That is a fairly damning indictment of our so-called quarterbacks. No offense, no playoffs.

This is the first offseason in which that was a real need.

First offseason was pretty much a wash, and he was being paid. Second offseason he had went to the Pro Bowl and led the team to a division title. This offseason his contract and performance give them plenty of incentive to make a move, so we’ll see what happens.

Out of the Pats&Giants coches

Giants qb coach Mike Sullivan looks the most promising. A year ago we passed on Chris Palmer his predecessor when Haley offered Palmer our qb coach job and not OC, judging by the Titans perrformance without Kenny Britt and a down year by Chris Johnson not bad. Coughlin is an ex Parcells wr coach so I would think there offense and ours have some similarities. The staff rounded out would be a plus for a 1st time coordinator as well. At least we know it wont be old man Bill Muir….snoooooooozzzzzeeeee

by TEXAN_CHIEF on Jan 30, 2012 6:41 PM CST reply actions

I agree

Mike Sullivan has a nice resume for a would-be first time OC.

Personally I dont want a 1st time OC with a very shaky offense. We have talent but no QB, we have guys coming off of injury, we have a shaky offensive line…..too much for a young gun.

If I had it my way I would do this….Hire Jim Fassel or Hue Jackson as OC. Two guys with HC, OC, and QB experience. Then let them round out the offensive positional coaches.

Then give DC to Gibbs and bring Zimmer up as full time LB coach. Then hire a young guy to be defensive assistant/apprentice.
