i thought you said pioli and any would be an epic fail

Woah. Probably just rumor but I seriously can't think of a better pair of talent when you think of Pioli & Shanahan.

Nope Pioli and any of these guys that are just Cordinators like Spags for just a few years.

Pioli and pretty much any ex coach will be good or great.
No to Spags,no to Schwartz

yes to Rat,Marty,Cowher,Mariucci and Gruden!!

Mariucci? Seriously?

yep you didnt pioli was a fail but yet you said ferentz would be great and these actual nfl coaches would suck. still laughable

Shannahan, Marty or Gruden all over Schwartz or Spagnuolo? Schwartz has had pretty much a top ten defense the whole time he has been the DC in Tennessee(obviously he is no longer an option). But, why so anti Spagnuolo? I would take him over Marty or Gruden, still not sure what I think about the Rat though.

ROFLROFL


meh...... if it gets rid of Herm I'll settle for the 32nd pick in the draft:D

Because Marty has won so many championships?

ferentz over any of those guys shows what real genius this cat is

Exactly...sporting the 58 name and DT avatar is a disgrace

Exited? You aren EXCITED about that idea?...or is that CP lingo?

Well he'd better hurry because if I were the Rat then that TB job would be a nice place to work.

I like the idea of Shanahan as the Head Coach, I just didn't want him, if he was going to be calling the shots on player personnel.

With Pioli on board, that ain't happening.

I think that's why we hired Mr. Pioli.

**** yea...if this happens our D will be the most dominate D known to man!

The Kansas City Cheats!
 

Hey Shanny could bring his cooking spray and dangerous blocking schemes, teach us a thing or two about cheating on the salary cap that he learned in Denver, and with Pioli who came from the team that illegally spied on opponents, we really could have the Patriots Way right here in Kansas City. How exciting. Outlaws, just like in the old west! Call us the Kansas City Cheats!

Why should we pay attention?

Shananananananahan hasn't had a fresh idea since almost as long as Carl, and drafts about the same (check)...(with the exception of Cutler)...he gets humiliated in playoff games (check), his FA signings suck (check), and his defenses suck ass (check)....


hell, maybe he is a fit for us....

well he at least had the "pay" part right

shannarat was better before he got full control

I'm so conflicted. The Rat in Red and Gold.... Arghhhh, I just can't wrap my noodle around it. I've spent over half my adult life hating that SOB, but he's a good coach and knows how to win. Pioli and him have potential that's for sure. I need a drink or 12

this is true, most gm/coaches fail, just too much for one person IMO

NO! I dont want the RAT!

.

I'd take him in a heartbeat. Him and Pioli could build something here.

Shanny would be incredible but we have no real reason to think they have talked or if Shanny would even take the job nor do we have a reason to think Super Scott wants him.


Herm is still the coach.

Ok Shanahan even though its a rumor, if you do become the chiefs coach, please oh please dont ask Jake Plummitt to unretire and by our QB.

No, he was a better coach when, and it pains me to admir it, when he had probably had one of the top 2 QB's of all time, and lucked out in putting together a pretty formidable defense- which he hasn't been able to replace either sufficiently since.. Still a good HC but needs help in personnal decisions ...

This

when his GM got him that great QB

how do we determine who lucks out and who doesn't?

he hasn't replace either because he's been GM and he's a better coach than personnel guy.

exactly he needs help with personnel decisions like Pioli would provide here.

Anyway, if this is true (none of know, really), what do you think about the quarterback situation? I love the idea of Shanny developing a rookie. Which one, I haven't a clue.

anyways, back on topic

shanahan is a good coach, but imo he is burnt out...he has been flailing for years but his rep kept people from calling him out...

plus, he may say he doesn't want power...but after a year or two he'll be right back in the owners ear...people that age don't change...


but hey, there are certainly worse options..

With the power of the Pats and Donkeys combined, the Chiefs are going to be the cheatingest team this league has ever seen!!!

Oh, you're absolutely right. I mean, I like to think a new setting and situation would benefit a seasoned coach who seems to have lost a bit of his ability. I can't say that for sure though, too many variables.

:grovel:

interesting you used the word burnout. I really think he needs to take a year off this was a hard yr for him.

:doh!:

Im in the same boat. I ****ing hate him, but he does =wins, so im confused. i'd have to like him if he wore the Red & Gold

I am not either. He's a Donkey and we may never get the stench away. ;)

Actually though, there's one upside for that hiring. He'll have a chip on his shoulder about both Oakland and Denver. Those are 4 games a year he'll do his best to win.

How about Shanahan as HC and Spags as DC AND assistant HC?

Elvis Dumervil
Brandon Marshall
Eddie Royal
Ryan Clady

that's just the last few years off the top of my head.

So true.

Eh,... did I mention I was once the King of Mars?

Head scout or DB coach.

Ok that was sarcasm.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

I HAVE HATED THIS RAT MOFO FOR OVER HALF MY LIFE AND I WON'T CHANGE

I think we need to consolidate every thread that ever mentioned the Shanarat to this one so we can be better informed.

You'll love him when Larry is charging through the lanes his offensive line creates.

I still don't like this, but the idea of a million shitsucking douchebag Bronco fans squealing in unison if it happens is enough to not make me hate it entirely.

shanny might have been a good coach but that dude went insane a while ago. maybe this is a wake up call and he'll go back to actually trying to win instead of jerking off on the sidelines

Those homo Broncos :D

Just think how quickly the rebels would have kicked the empire's ass if Vader had left the dark side.

It would be great leaving a game here at Investo with all the donkey fans whining and bitching:D

without reading the whole thread... Does this rumor have any legs at all?

Anyone...and I mean ANYONE is better than Herm....but with that said....how can our new GM boss Tony Soprano hire a rat to run his football team???

(I instantly apologize for that lame attempt at comedy.....but it was sitting there...right in the open...ripe for the taking)

LMAO

Marty?ROFL

ROFL

Justice is disseminated quickly on the Planet.

Yep. Marty is a regular season coach. He'll never win a Championship, Pioli or not. Somebody like spags may or may not be better than Gruden. But Gruden has proven he is not.

His "DIRTY CHEATING" offensive line, you mean.

This franchise needs some of that shit. Everyone is doing it. The Patriots, for instance.

Honestly I'd rather my team won on merit, not by cheating. I don't want any excuses against our win when and if it happens.

Because he is a good coach and would be a good fit here. Also, add to the fact he is one of the best guys out there who has a proven track record of winning in the league. Hes got the experience no doubt with championships to add to that.

There is talent on the offensive side of the ball it's just too bad it's being wasted by our current lame duck coach. I actually think KC is a great situation for Shanahan. It would be great for Tyler Thigpen a young QB who needs a coach who knows how to handle young QB's. And imo what better guy to have then Shanahan? There are RB's on this roster in Charles and Smith whom imo can be excellent cutback runners which would suit a Shanahan style of offense that emphasizes a lot on misdirection plays.

There are good receivers on this team in Gonzalez in Bowe. Shanny knows how 2 make average offensive lineman into pretty good ones. And the Chiefs have 2 good Offensive in Albert and Waters. If he was hired as the new HC here the offense would improve dramatically.

My only knock on him is defense. He hasn't really had good defenses. But, I think with Pioli, and a good DC around him that may just mask his weakness.

We all want that.

That's not the way the league always works.

I don't feel the Broncos or the Patriots championships have been tainted. Those were damn good teams.

Yea, I am sure Shanny really thinks his 2 rings are tarnished... ROFL

:clap: I'm right there with ya!

When the Cheating Donx won thier Super Bowls, thier defense was very good.

I disagree wholeheartedly.

In talks with Shanahan ay?
Wow... I wouldn't have a problem with that AT ALL.

I can tell you that I've heard this rumor from 2 different sources before it broke on the radio today. One is in Denver another in KC. No way they know each other. Neither of which is my reliable source. Still no word from them.So take it for what its worth.

Where there is smoke there is fire kind of thing?

The Rat is OK by me.

Me too.

Shanahan is a good coach, especially on offense. Put him under a good GM like Pioli and it should be a dynamic combination.

I seem to recall that Carl was talking to Vermeil before he canned Gunther the first time. :hmmm:

I'd take the rat over any "retread" coach out there..especially Gruden

i still think he needs a year off to recharge and reflect, his personnel decisions have been just brutal for awhile in relation to his perceived talent as a coach...

i'd still prefer to roll the dice on our own coach...but if Pioli thinks he can bromance with the rat, well, ok, i guess...

THIS


I've hated Shanahan for ever...i really don't want to start liking him either.

Thanks for the verification.

A proven winner and Pioli would make me one very happy fan.

WB, Jim.
