Lots Of Former Kansas City Chiefs Coaches Coming To Town This Weekend

This week's Kansas City Chiefs connections, courtesy of the mothership, are a little bland with the exception of former Chiefs' OC Chan Gailey being on the list. If you don't recall, Gailey took quite a few former Chiefs' staffers with him to Buffalo when he "left" Kansas City.

We've also got Glenn Dorsey, Ron Edwards and another rural Kansas mention for you. Enjoy!

  • Chiefs GM Scott Pioli ('88-89) and asst. GM Joel Collier ('88-89) were graduate assistants at Syracuse. Collier was born in Buffalo, NY.
  • Collier's father, Joe Collier, served as the Bills head coach ('66-68), leading the club to the '66 AFL Championship Game vs. Kansas City.
  • Chiefs DT Ron Edwards spent five seasons with Buffalo (2001-05).
