Chiefs Next Defensive Coordinator May Already Be In KC

Who will be Offensive Coordinator? RAC anf Gibbs will keep the D solid, but Muir is the worst OC in history. We have to go get someone asap.

Hes done a nice job with the lbs. I’m hoping he continues to run crennel’s d and that Crennel is involved whichmim sure he will be. Maybe this paves the way for jack del rio to be lbs coach which is a position he held in Baltimore.

all had a say once RAC came interim coach. He even said he had great assistants to help him since he now had more responsibilities with meetings/ press conferences, etc. But like everyone else…who for OC? I don’t see anyone in house. Not a huge fan of Zorn as OC. He needs to stick with only QB coach. And we all know RAC will let the OC run the offense. He showed that as interim head coach as well, which you could tell plays were getting in on time.

emmitt thomas then has his duties increased a bit.

and its time to find an oc out of org….

but stoked if this is indeed true, gibbs gets a lot of credit for making dj consistent and hali into a 3-4 backer

He said we haven’t been able to talk to the guys we want because one guy chose another option (McD?) and others wont get permission for lateral move….interesting..hopefully that changes!

prior to Oakland….just wanted to see if anyone else knew much about him or their thoughts on him as OC

Name some OC at are available, where we wouldn’t have to give up draft picks to sign them as the OC. I think Jackson is a great fit for this team. We have the same weapons as the Raiders, just that our WR aren’t as fast as the Raiders.

I have no problem with either Gibbs or Manusky, but I do like the way Manusky coaches. Look what he did bot both 49ers and Chargers.

That doesn’t mean you don’t look at the options available. The situation on defense may be perceived as an “easy call” but I think that is overlooking the improtance of the DC role. Someone familiar and comfortable doesn’t translate to “best chance at winning.” I won’t necessarily raise any eyebrows if Gibbs gets the job but I’m intrigued at other prospects available such as Greg Manusky, Mel Tucker. Manusky was used as a scapegoat in SD and you can bet he would love to have another chance at the AFC West, especially both times we play SD each year! Furthermore, you don’t want Crennel having a hot hand in defense while being head coach (i.e. micromanage the defense). Just the opposite was true of Haley as head coach – and primary offensive play caller. You want a DC who can manage the defense on the same page as the head coach so Romeo can focus on the team. Bottom line, I like where we are at with defense regardless, but I feel keeping an open mind is part of what is required right now. Surely the Chiefs front office is doing their due diligence.

Bigger question…who are the Chiefs going to bring in to upgrade our OC position? …and preferably a QB to develop to go with it (okay just had to throw that in there too!)

I have an idea how about Mike Martz? If not move Zorn up to OC and see if Trent Green might be interested in being the qb coach? I would be happy with either move but our free agent money needs spent on Carr and Bowe then on our O-Line no matter the qb if they are being beaten into the ground it won’t matter who the qb is! Barry Richardson and Leonard Pope needed to be released before they boarded the plane back from Denver. These two accounted for like 60-70% of our penalties this year and how many of those penalties killed drives? We have the skill players time to build the lines more. One other move need a better inside linebacker Belcher is the week link I would love to see the Cheifs get David LB from Nebraska then all 4 linbackers would be play makers.

haley gone

Anybody ever heard of Gus Malzahn. He’s the OC of Auburn. Probably won’t happen, but I see him making it to the NFL before long. Just throwing out a name.

Every where hes been except Atlanta hes done good things. He would have a field day with our WRs.

- Hue was a college QB at Pacific.

- He led California’s high-powered offense in 1996 as its offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, he helped lead the Golden Bears to an Aloha Bowl berth.

- Jackson served as USC’s offensive coordinator from 1997-2000, helping to recruit and develop players, including QB Carson Palmer, with whom he was later reunited in Cincinnati and Oakland.

- In 01 and 02 under Marty and Spurrier he coached Stephen Davis to 1430 yards as RB coach.

- From 04 to 06 in Cincy as WRs coach, Housh and Cinco became one of the most prolific WRs tandems in NFL History.

- In 07 he was coordinator with the Falcons under Petrino, Emmit Thomas and it didn’t turn out so well. Vick was sidelined for the season and the Falcons were forced to play with 2 undrafted rookies on the O line.

- In 08 and 09 he coached Flacco as QB coach and Flacco was the first rookie QB to win 2 playoff games in NFL History. Ravens made the playoffs both years Hue was there. Hue also replaced Jim Zorn as QB coach.

- In 2010, under Jackson’s guidance, the Raiders offense finished fourth in the AFC and sixth in the NFL in scoring (25.6 points per game) also finished fifth in the AFC and 10th in the NFL in total offense (354.6 yards per game) and second in the NFL and AFC in rushing (155.9 yards per game). The Raiders more than doubled their scoring output from the previous year, totaling 410 points. Under Jackson’s offense, RB Darren McFadden finished the season with 1,157 yards rushing on 223 carries for a 5.2 average YPC and 7 rushing touchdowns. McFadden also had 47 receptions for 507 yards and 3 touchdowns. His total numbers were 1,664 total yards and 10 total touchdowns for the 2010 NFL season. Making McFadden the NFL’s 5th leader in total yards from scrimmage for the 2010 season.

Hue transformed McFadden and Bay into respectable players when many thought both were busts. Zach Miller loved him. I think Hue would be a good fit for the kind of offense that the Chiefs need to run.
