It was somebody who I thought about putting on the list but him being the Titans DC I figured would make people go batty. Very good coach though.

I would be ok with Schwartz.

I think he's a guy that understands the way the game has evolved in the past 10-15 years.

Carl won't fire Herm. They'll go out together.

Young Coaches that got fired from Al Davis have gone on too WIN Super Bowls & further humiliate Da rRhaydas.

They may go batty, but it's not all that crazy, Mr. ChiefsCountry. He's been considered as an head coach in the past ... the niners and skins are two teams who took a look at him, I believe.

He's obviously a defensive guy, though. I'm not sure if that's good or bad at this point. But, he's young and I think that, whoever we hire, it should be someone who can create an identity with the Chiefs and stay with the team for awhile. I read an analysis a long time ago that correlated head coach tenure with winning tradition. It was striking how many teams with consistent success had also retained the same HC for a long period of time. These days, most owners will can a peep in two or three years, but I'm not completely sold on that idea.

I am totally not opposed to a defensive coach. Either an offensive or defensive coach is going to have to bring someone into have significant control over the other side.

Herm won't do that (see him running the same plays at NE that he FIRED Solari for). IMO, an agressive philosophy of the game is what's important. Herm does not have that. He plays not to lose.

I think someone else mentioned him but Steve Spanoulo gets my vote.

He spent time in Philly with Andy Reid and coordinated an aggressive Giants defense to the Super Bowl. He appears to be a sharp guy with a good acumen. And coming from the always competitive NFC East wouldn't hurt.

That's right :)

one thing i thought of : is clark going to fire carl with one year left??? if not why get rid of herm when a new gm would probably want his own guy? also then why get a new qb who might or might not fit in another coach's system(see matt leinart)? so that tells me that it may well be several years until this ship gets righted. UNLESS CLARK IS SERIOUS ABOUT WINNING AND NOT THE BOTTOM LINE

I think the front office has Dick Curl on the short list.

No "essentially" about it. Compare Cowher's resume with Herm's, not even close, Herm is a proven loser, the Steelers were consistently competitive, there was talk of a Pittsburgh Super Bowl every year. Cowher helped rebuild the Steelers when they didn't have a QB. Then they drafted Big Ben and went to the Super Bowl.

The front office of this team could get a miracle from God as far as finally getting the personell we need and still go no where.

And Cowher's demeanor is completely different than Herm's. This team needs a serious kick in the ass, not Herm's ready made excuses.

Maybe Ron Prince will be available...

I say we still ought to try to lure Jimmy!!! He is a great evaluator of talent and a good coach for rebuild. Yes, I know he failed in Miami but there were severe cap problems and Marino politics that didn't allow him enough money or time to do want he wanted to thus frustrating him into resignation. Clark would have to fire Carl because Jimmy has an enormous sack that would tell Carl to piss off and Carl wouldn't have that. But think of this lovely scenario:

Jimmy gets his revenge against Jones in the SB. I know it's a pipe dream
