And we still have no OC
Unless you are content with Muir.
Nicknames I have coined:
Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'
Shaun Smith = 'Big Nasty'
Kelly Gregg = 'Old Gregg'
So the only OC available was Mcdaniels???

Yes, system matters.
Nicknames I have coined:
Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'
Shaun Smith = 'Big Nasty'
Kelly Gregg = 'Old Gregg'
Considering the strengths of our team
Any OC that accentuates the run to set up the pass, which is definitely NOT Mcdaniels. No doubt system matters, and Mcdaniels doesn’t fit this system at all, likely why the team hasn’t sought permission to talk with him.

The best teams pass to set up the run these days.
Just saying, it’s a modern philosophy, but it’s what is working right now in the NFL.
What's wrong with that?
I say whatever scores touchdowns and wins games works best.

The best teams also have elite QBs, which is something we don't have
So until we have that, we have to utilize the strengths we have, which is JC and a decent run blocking o-line.

Not likely this next season, unfortunately
Especially for a RB that depends on explosive cuts and change of direction like he does. The “good” thing is how early the injury happened this season, so there is a good amount of time for recovery and rehab, but once the real practices and games begin again for him, it will take a while for him to get comfortable and confident on running and cutting like he did pre-injury.

And those teams have Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees
You cannot simply conjure up a QB like that. Otherwise, every team would have one.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.

So true MN...which is why the best recipe is to create a good balanced team
um…“complimentary football”?…
and look for the best QB possible…
I think I’ve given up hope that the Chiefs will ever have an elite QB again…and hope now for solid balance and depth to create consistently a good team that has a chance for the big dance (Balt in 2000 anyone?)

I thought we had a chance at drafting one
When there were 3 in the draft. 2 is much more difficult.

He runs the Erhardt-Perkins offense
Same as Weis and similar to what Haley does philosophically.
Haley was known for his passing offense before he got to KC. I think McDaniels would be able to adjust to his team’s strengths. In our case, it is the running game.
Nicknames I have coined:
Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'
Shaun Smith = 'Big Nasty'
Kelly Gregg = 'Old Gregg'
McDaniels couldn't adjust his shoelaces in St Louis!

Didn’t Haley mettle with our playcalls? I wonder if Spags did this with McD…

by MountainManMike on Jan 7, 2012 2:09 PM CST up reply actions
Doubtful
Most of the problem was that they scrapped the entire offense entirely and had no time to work on the new offense because of the strike. Brandon Lloyd indicated that it was the same offense in St. Louis that they ran in Denver pretty much and there were no stories coming out that Spagnuolo was micromanaging.
Plus, part of the reason Haley meddled in KC was that he was an offensive coordinator and felt (stupidly) that he “knew” offense well enough to pull double duty. Spags was a defensive guy…it’s unlikely he micromanaged in an area that wasn’t his expertise.
Hmmm,
Considering the strength of Denver was the zone-blocking, one-cut running offense that set up the pass in Denver, on top of the fact that he continued to call deep drops despite a bad o-line and seemed to refuse to run a work horse like Steven Jackson when needed most in St. Louis, its hard to imagine Mcdaniels adapting to anything here in KC.

Clarification
The strength of Denver was the zone-blocking, one cut ruining offense to set up the pass BEFORE mcdaniels got there.

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
Cassel looked pretty decent in NE with him as OC
Can’t credit Brady for that
Todd Haley lost 7 of his last 15 games by 20 or more points. It was time for him to go.
by joplin chiefs fan on Jan 7, 2012 10:53 AM CST up reply actions
Yup
And nobody was talking up Matt Cassel as a good fallback option before Brady went down. In fact, people thought it was pretty much the end of their season.
Technically, it was. They didn't make the playoffs
Now that we have seen how mcdaniels utilizes a team’s strength in Denver and St. Louis, I think its safe to assume that Belicheck had more to do with altering the New England offense midseason in 2008 to better mask Cassel’s shortcomings than Mcdaniels did.

They Went 11-5 And Were In Contention Throughout
QB was not the problem with their season.
And what is your gripe about McDaniels’ offense in Denver? He ran a pretty solid offense, actually. He got career best results out of Brandon Lloyd and Eddie Royal. He got good performance out of Kyle Orton. He spent one year on a shitty Rams team with no offseason to install his offense, a shit WR corps and an injured QB, and a line missing both tackles with no depth. Frankly, he’s shown that he’s pretty good as an OC, which is part of the reason Belichick wants him back.
Name a random person other than Josh McDaniels.
That person is a better option.

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
right
I think that’s the way it goes. Romeo HC and Zorn at OC. Hopefully Romeo promotes the DC from within and we can have some semblance of continuity going into next year. Let’s have a solid draft and nab a couple of good FA’s and continue building on what’s already there just like the last three years. It’s a good overall philosophy and I think it’s ultimately going to be the best approach. It ain’t sexy but who gives a shit if we get better.
Braccae illae virides cum subucula rosea et tunica Caledonia-quam elenganter concinnatur!
Zorn
Considering how badly he ran an offense in Washington, I want nothing to do with him as an OC. And I really hope Maurice Carthon doesn’t get the job…he was Romeo’s OC in Cleveland and he was horrible.
If the last three weeks were any indication
of how the O can run, I’d be ok with Zorn. Not saying it was great, but it improved. All things considered, it gave me hope with a group of players/QB and coaches that didn’t have much time or chemistry together. Like I said, not sexy but it could work. I agree there are arguments against promoting Zorn, but I’m not seeing any great alternatives out there.
I completely agree on Mo Carthon.
More than anything, I’d like to see some bigger beef added to the O-line and a schematic shift to more simplified power blocking.
Braccae illae virides cum subucula rosea et tunica Caledonia-quam elenganter concinnatur!
Muir Ran Those Offenses
Not Zorn. Muir was the OC and the guy talking about the gameplanning…Zorn was still just the QB coach, and the QB position wasn’t so stellar that we should overlook his not impressive track record with offenses. There’s a reason that he has never been an OC in the NFL, and that the only team that let him run an offense stripped him of play calling responsibilities (even though he was head coach). He isn’t good.
'fusayso
but I recall lots of talk about it being a triumvirate with Haley then Romeo and Muir and Zorn.
Braccae illae virides cum subucula rosea et tunica Caledonia-quam elenganter concinnatur!
Look no further than Matt Cassel
(and so begins the next defense of the Cassel apologists)
Braccae illae virides cum subucula rosea et tunica Caledonia-quam elenganter concinnatur!
That Zorn was even involved in the offensive game planning
speaks to the Chiefs valuing his knowledge and ability to coach. Muir is likely gone. Seems like a pretty natural fit. Maybe not the greatest prospect in the world, but it makes some sense. McDaniels made sense in his own way but that doesn’t necessarily make him the greatest option either.
Braccae illae virides cum subucula rosea et tunica Caledonia-quam elenganter concinnatur!
I Boil It Down To "What Has He Achieved?"
Head coach/OC at Washington – disastrous results, got relieved of play calling duties.
QB coach at Baltimore – Joe Flacco was an average QB when he was there and is still an average QB since he left.
QB coach in KC – Matt Cassel and Kyle Orton, both average QBs (and that’s being generous with Cassel in 2011). Tyler Palko sucked balls, Ricky Stanzi was a non-factor.
Who cares if the coaching staff “values his input” when his input doesn’t produce results? That just means the coaching staff should find someone better to give input.
Muir is set to retire.
No need to be content with Muir.
It is time to anoint the Stanzi. He is The One.
Pioli and McDaniels are cool
I would like to see why McD could do with our offensive weapons.
As OC….not HC. Maybe a Head job in the future.

Del Rio for DC
At Carolina, he led the team to the 2nd place D in the league. He was an ex-Chief and Jayhawk. We have to admit, when at Jacksonville, Del Rio wasn’t horrible until this year. The Jaguars were always in the playoff hunt, but were constantly just short. We could try to groom Del Rio into our next head coach under Romeo, he is still younger then most fired coaches out there, and can still learn. Seems like a Chiefs-like move if you ask me. The Chiefs have a thing with ex-head coaches.
It's Orton Time!
Oh, he is a jayhawk? We definitely don't want him anywhere near this team
He might lead a new charge to get Arrowhead moved to Johnson County

I’ll go back to sleep now.
I wouldnt mind seeing Del Rio as DC but we need a HC first and I hope they let RC select his own coaches tho if he is indeed the next hc, I dont want Josh MCD coming here either, Looks like Jeff Fisher is going to Rams ESPN is sayin he has said thats his only choice…
Makes sense
I’m betting Fischer gets full personnel control, which is exactly what I’ve been saying a veteran, successful coach such as himself would likely seek. Add on Bradford, and its probably a done deal

Totally agreed--most of the sports media does that, anymore, whether it's national or local.
Sports media = speculation. They’re barely more accurate than we are, for the most part.
Look, I can be Bill Williamson or Adam Tiecher:
“The Chiefs are only interviewing Jack Del Rio so they can get an insiders’ view of his defensive coordinator, Mel Tucker. Tucker—a former secondary coach and defensive coordinator under Romeo Crennel—is likely a consideration for Crennel’s defensive coordinator position and possibly, coach-in-waiting. No worries Chiefs fans, Jack Del Rio won’t be prowling the sidelines in KC any time soon.”
See? I can be sports media too.

Mangini was a deal-breaker for Pioli in Cleveland. I doubt he'd be considered here.
Check out “War Room” for details…the gist of the story is, Randy Lerner told Pioli that he wanted a GM who would work with Mangini. Mangini is the one who ratted out “Spygate.” We hire Pioli, not Cleveland…

McD is Belichick's boy.
Coaches’ kid, worked under Nick Saban (one of Belichick’s buddies), coached both sides of the ball in NE…he’s a Belichick kind of coach. And I mean that in any way you can concieve it…good, bad, and ugly.
I read on PFT that McD would be the first ex-coordinator that Hoodie Bill has brought back since coming to NE. Perhaps he feels that his “boy” needs image/coaching rehab…

boy, stop
first, you’re comparing apples and oranges with KC and NE
secondly, looking at what’s happened in both Denver and St Louis with open eyes and a critically thinking mind, the only logical conclusion is that McDaniels is ruinous to the health of any team that doesn’t have Belichick and Brady
he misused that entire Rams offense all year long after all the damage he did in Denver … and you want to bring THAT kind of useless crap to KC?

Second, they lost their best receiver (Amendola) from an otherwise terrible receiving corps (their second-best WR, Danario Alexander, was chronically injured). They got Brandon Lloyd in Week 6, but by that point Bradford was dealing with injury issues. Not McDaniels’ fault. Third, and most important, they completely scrapped the previous year’s system and had no time to work on McDaniels’ system because they had no offseason. If you’ll look around the league, other teams that made dramatic changes to their lineups (Seattle, Dallas) also struggled with new offensive schemes and/or integrating new players with the shortened offseason.
Actually, That Was Three Points
But I think it also says something when Sam Bradford, who struggled this year, still says that he prefers McDaniels’ system to the WCO he ran the year before. And that Brandon Lloyd (correctly) credits McDaniels as being the only coach who has ever understood how to use him.
I get that a lot of people here really hate Josh McDaniels. What I don’t get is how people can willfully ignore that apart from last season he’s actually done a very good job running offenses.
and they run seven plays inside the ten
with Steven Jackson standing on the sidelines. Definitely McDaniel’s fault.
It is time to anoint the Stanzi. He is The One.
Unless Jackson Was Hurt
Which has been known to happen to him frequently.
I don’t know the game you’re talking about, so I can’t really argue it.
I remember the game, Jackson was not hurt
They tried throwing it, a QB sneak, and handing the ball off to someone else for 6 of the 8 plays from the 1 yard line and could not make it into the endzone, the 7th was a direct snap for no gain, the 8th play they handed it off to Jackson and he ran right through the Dline for an easy TD
Direct snap to S.Jackson. S.Jackson left guard to SEA 1 for no gain
S.Bradford pass incomplete short right [A.Bigby]. PENALTY on SL-S.Bradford, Intentional Grounding
C.Williams left guard to SEA 1 for no gain
S.Bradford up the middle to SEA 1 for no gain
S.Bradford pass incomplete short right to D.Alexander
S.Bradford pass incomplete short left to B.Lloyd
S.Bradford pass incomplete short right to D.Alexander
S.Jackson right tackle for 1 yard, TOUCHDOWN

I dislike him as much as you do, Ups. But to defame McD's offenses in Denver is incorrect.
He did things with Kyle Orton that no one else had done previously. Ever, in fact. Same with Brandon Lloyd…Jabar Gaffney (in NE)…Cassel (in NE)…
Guy is a class-A prick and maybe thought he knew it all this year in St. Louis, but it isn’t his fault that his offensive line and receivers went to hell with injuries.
I have been educated by Lamb and Donk fans on this one (unfortunately).

Why is he a prick?
Seriously, this must be the biggest myth about him.

No, we like talented asshole coaches too, we play the same game.
Belichick just has the structure in place to ensure McDaniels sticks to drawing up plays in the dirt and works on the other aspects of coaching (not saying too much in interviews, for example).
Us, on the other hand? I think McDaniels would/could be more of a loose cannon here. Now, he did work with RAC’s secondary in 2001, and coached offense on the same staff for three seasons after that, so while there may be some mutual respect RAC isn’t McDaniels’ mentor. Hoodie Bill is.
Also, working with Brady is a great way to build/burnish a reputation (see: McDaniels, 2002-2009, Bill O’Brien, 2009-2011).
We’re not doing it wrong, we just don’t have the winning pieces.

just said we plan to retain RC as hc, Josh McD to New England and he can coach in the play offs this year, talk about worst to first, now hopefully RC can choose his own DC/OC
My prediction
Zorn to OC, Gibbs to DC.
We still suck next season.
Nicknames I have coined:
Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'
Shaun Smith = 'Big Nasty'
Kelly Gregg = 'Old Gregg'
what a shock :-)

Should've waited until today to post that D-line thing...
More exposure, yanno? :)
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.

On to an OC, then the contracts of Carr, Bowe, Mcclain and Orton, then the draft, then the recovery of Berry, JC, Moeaki, Cassel, and Siler, then….Super Bowl!

RAC = HC

Chiefs are planning to retain Romeo Crennel and remove interim tag from his title. Move would be popular in the locker room.
Thrilled about no McD
dunno about Zorn, and Gibbs. I like Crennel, but only 8% of assistant coaches promoted within have ever done anything. Gibbs was a horrible DC in NO, and Zorn….I dunno. I understand RAC will have control over the D, but its still an iffy thing IMO.
I guess we’re’ trying the familiarity route and maybe the consistency will help bring more chemistry next season. I’m still on the fence about the OC/DC decisions if this is truly the case. Especially at DC.
RG3, its easy as ABC.
Lollygagging Chiefs get usurped by the Patriots.
I was hoping he’d land here because it’d be a greater challenge for him. Oh, well…
