He's mainly been a defensive guy, which isn't necessarily bad, Mr. lj4mvp. But, he's also about 50 years old ... I'd like to see a younger guy who can grow with the franchise over several years. We've been drafting for the 4/3 which is his scheme, though. That's a consideration, I suppose. I'd put him on the short list, but I'm not sure he's perfect.

I'm convinced that, this time around, our HC needs to be somebody who can put their stamp on the Chiefs for awhile (ala Hank or Marty). Somebody who can get along with Clark, create an identity for this team, and who understands and has proven effective in the modern game. I'm sure Spagnuolo could do the job, but I don't think, of all the possible candidates, he's the perfect choice for us.

I like the Garrett choice except for the fact that he's been an AC on the offensive side of the ball only, so far as I know.

He certainly belongs on the short list, but I'd prefer McDaniels based simply on the fact that he's been in the AFC and worked both sides of the LOS at various times. To me, it's important that our next HC not create an unbalanced team (all offense or all defense) again. Based on his resume, one would think that McDaniels would have a better chance of providing that balance.

My only problem with McDaniels would be he would more than likely bring 3-4 defense, which would make the Dorsey pick not very good.

Good point, Mr. ChiefsCountry. We haven't drafted for the 3/4. Plus, if you think we have a shortage of linebackers now, just wait until we install that defense.

How many of these people would even consider coming to KC?

The fact that $ does talk, and if it's a young coach who has been waiting for their time for awhile, they'll jump.

under a new GM with some vision, I think most if not all would.

HC positions in the NFL are rare jewels, Mr. Skip Towne. Most, if not all, of these guys would take the job, if offered. I agree, though, that it would be easier to hire a good man if Carl were no longer GM. I have no doubt that Carl's reputation isn't exactly stellar among NFL coaching professionals whose primary focus is winning championships.

yeah, once carl is gone we'll have no problem getting a coach....

god i'd love it if clark cleaned house next year.....sigh

I want them to hire Chris Polian as a GM....now if we do that we may end up with a Colts coach as Head Coach though...

Steve Marioouchi (sp) former SF coach. Spagnolu would be nice. Cowher would be awesome. jimmy johnson if possible. i would throw a ton of Clark's $ at Pete Carrol -- Bob Stoops not so much but maybe. there are options!!
