Kid better button shit up.

Connor Embree returns for his fifth season with the Chiefs and enters the 2023 season as the team's wide receivers coach after spending two seasons as an offensive quality control coach (2021-22) and two seasons as a defensive assistant (2019-20).

Embree again worked closely with the wide receiver corps in 2022 as an offensive quality control coach assisting an offense that led the league in receiving yards (5,250), touchdowns (41) passing first downs (272), receptions of 25+ yards (49) and points per game (29.2). Embree helped develop a new group of veteran receivers (JuJu Smith-Schuster, Kadarius Toney, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Justin Watson) who accounted for over 20 percent of the Chiefs receiving touchdowns. Smith-Schuster led the team's wide receiver group with 78 receptions for 933 yards and three trips to the endzone. Fifth-year receiver Valdes-Scantling had two regular season touchdowns and a career-high two postseason touchdowns. He stepped up big as the team battled through injuries in the AFC Championship Game, with 116 yards receiving off six receptions, three catches of 25+ yards and one touchdown en route to the team's Super Bowl LVII win.

In 2021, Embree worked primarily with the wide receivers group. WR Tyreek Hill recorded a career high 111 receptions for 1,239 yards en route to his sixth Pro Bowl nomination. WR Mecole Hardman ranked third on the team, recording career highs in catches (59) and yards (693).

In 2020, Embree primarily worked with the defensive backs who featured AP All-Pro S Tyrann Mathieu who led all safeties in the NFL with six interceptions and rookie CB L'Jarius Sneed who showed a lot of potential in the nine games he saw action (six starts). He snagged three interceptions, 2.0 sacks (-19.0 yards) and seven passes defensed.

In his first season with the Chiefs (2019), Embree primarily worked with a linebacking group that accounted for 5.5 sacks and 275 tackles in his role as a defensive assistant. LB Anthony Hitchens led the team in tackles with 88 and was responsible for 2.0 of the unit's 5.5 sacks.

Before jumping to the professional ranks, he spent two seasons on Coach David Beaty's staff at the University of Kansas as a graduate assistant where he gained experience working with the offense and special teams.

He also spent time in the high school ranks as the offensive coordinator at Blue Valley West High School and as the wide receivers coach at Fairview High School.

Embree played wide receiver for the Kansas Jayhawks (2011-13). He also spent one season at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (2010).

Education: University of Kansas (B.S. 2013). Born: Superior, Colorado. Family:Wife - Alex.

"They [Veach/Reid] believe they have been sloppy the last couple weeks with the WR's..."

The #chiefs were never really active heading into the deadline nor did they plan to be. For a few reasons. Here's how things went down in KC. pic.twitter.com/gRu3kFpZID

I am going to send Conor Embree a letter chock full of a*****x

Trying to make chicken salad out of chicken shit doesn’t work…

Maybe this guy is too soft. Especially without Bienemy around to chew some ass anymore. I don't know wtf the deal is, but I'd have them out there catching balls off the jugs machine until they puked and then I'd have them catch a thousand more.

indeed

Wisconsin_Chief · 11-21-2023, 11:44 AM

Dude sucks shit, end of conversation. There has been zero development from anyone on the roster, including Rice. He's been the tallest guy at the midget party, and that's it. He's the same guy now as he was week one. Most of them have actually regressed.

Not sure what niece he's banging of Reid's, but the dude doesn't belong coaching in the NFL. You want to see what a difference a position coach can make, look no further than Joe Cullen.

This dude is trash, period.

Kman34 · 11-21-2023, 12:42 PM

Glad we have someone to blame…

I didn't know who he was until last week. I don't know if I would recognise him if he walked past me in the street. I don't know what he sounds like. I don't know anything about him apart from his job title.

But I do know that I hate him.

Dante84 · 12-10-2023, 07:55 PM

Time for a sacrificial mid-season termination.

Somebody else can step up and do this job now.

George Liquor · 12-10-2023, 07:56 PM

I don't think whacking this guy will make any difference.

FloridaMan88 · 12-10-2023, 07:56 PM

Move Joel Bleymaier back to WR coach.

Conner Embree - One and done coach.

MahomesMagic · 12-10-2023, 07:59 PM

Yeah, probably sucks but where is the talent to coach up?
