Alright, back to the fooball portion of the thread. I'd be Ok, with Shannahan, but he's far from my first choice. I just see him wanting more control several years down the road. |

Depending on Shanahan's outlook on coaching the Chiefs, he could easily be my first choice. If he's willing to allow Scott to bring in a D coordinator for him, I don't see a better option. If we're going to draft a franchise quarterback, who better to develop him?

The fact is, I still don't believe in retreads that have won SBs elsewhere. They seem to do well with the next team, but they never quite achieve the same kind of success that they enjoyed with thier SB teams. |

Hank Stram, Mike Ditka, Bill Parcells, Dick, Mike Holmgren. All guys that won a SB with one team who never won another with a another team. |

Thinking about this a little more.....
Pioli is used to working with a powerful coach. Actually, Belichick had more power than Pioli, but each guy had a veto power on personnel. I think something similar could work here with Shanahan. I have bigger doubts about the money. If Shanahan got all of his money owed as a going away present, it could work. But if Bowlen's payments to Shanahan decline at one to one rate with a new HC job, Shanahan will be working for free, and he won't do that. [Maybe something creative could be worked out with backloading or something?] And even if Shanny did get all his money, would he demand $7 million here, too? I don't think Clark is going to pay out over $20 million next year for GM and coaches (including Edwards' and Peterson's salary). |

Holmgren was a shitty personnel man, but he still hasn't achieved the same kind of success on the field, even after giving up personnel control, that he enjoyed in Green Bay. I don't believe the others had GM responsibilities. |

I've said it before. The only positive is that he will REALLY prepare to beat Denver and Oakland every year. That's 4 important games a year to try to win.

Go to the Minge and see how many people are truly upset about his firing. It's close statistic-wise to the number of Chiefs fans that want to keep Herm. Keep the Rat's Epic Stale the hell away from my team. |
