I'm not a huge fan of Childress. I think Shurmur is better because he has a rich history with QBs. That said... I trust Andy Reid on offense, and any OC is going to do well.

On defense... we have to get that right. Ron Rivera and Ray Horton are awesome picks. I don't want this team to move to a 4-3, as that will involve gutting our roster and I personally think it will really dramatically waste the talents of Houston, Hali, DJ, and potentially the upside of Poe. Other guys you may want to consider... What about Reggie Herring from Houston? He was de facto d-coordinator when Wade Phillips missed time. There are options out there and I would really hope it's Dorsey making this call, not Reid. I like the Reid hire but at this stage, he is NOT someone I trust with the defensive scheme.

McNabb said he expects Reid to bring in a veteran and draft a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round.

I'm all over Rivera or Horton, for sure.

OC, I actually like Chilly.

**** mcnabb

It appears as if we'd be going all out into the 4-3 since with the Lane Kiffin and Dick Juaron rumors.

Not sure if this has been covered, but how do you guys feel about Justin Houston playing DE in the 4-3?

He sure has speed. I'll give him that. But he's played in the 3-4 in college and here in KC.

ROFL something about this one just does it for me ROFL

And the butthurt work from philly fans clay posted definitely gets a LMAO

I consider it a done deal when we got Reid. He has to have a top QB to make his way work. He knows it. everyone knows it. Done deal. Print em etc.etc.

I really wanna stay in the 34.

I'm kind of meh on it.

We don't have any DL that can get heat on the QB, so what's the point? And no switching to the 1 gap isn't gonna turn Tyson Jackson into a BAMF. He's a good run stuffer...that's it.

Why not put Poe and Jackson/Dorsey at the DT positions? Can you imagine a C looking up seeing he has to block and 350 lb monster with another 300 lbs solid run stuffer right next to him?

Well first off, I don't know how well Hali and Houston go to a 43, and DJ doesn't really have a spot in it.

I'm alot bigger on Poe, Powe and Bailey at this point. You need some dlineman for a 1 gap, which is hard to find, but not impossible. You also need an ILB thumper, that isn't that hard to find.

I like the 34, but it's a personal preference.

And if you go 43, Jackson is probably gone. Dorsey might stick around, but I'm meh on him at this point.

Get Osi Umenyiora (he knows he's leaving the Giants) and DRC in here in FA, get our QB at #1, then draft Shayne Skov in round 2.

DE-Osi
DT-Poe
DT-Jackson
DE-Tamba (Falcon)
OLB-Houston-Put him in Von Miller's position
ILB-DJ
OLB-Skov
CB-Flowers
CB-DRC
SS-Berry
FS-Lewis or some other guy

BEAST MODE

That is pretty god damn cool.

Yeah I hope not. Wilson or Geno please.

I was before it was official.

Osi is meh at this point.


You just go one gap, put Powe at NT where he belongs, Poe at DE, draft another DE. Jackson has no fit in a 43.

I like DRC and Skov. I'd also like to target J Byrd.

Margus Hunt if he made it to the third round, could be a JJ Watt type guy.

Clay, thanks man!! Youre awesome dude. Thanks for all your hard work
**** Pioli!!!! Im getting drunk tonight and this ones for Save Our Chiefs!

Thanks Phobia I am enjoying my 2nd Samuel Adams Octoberfest left over from the bash today. I have several Winter Lagers to back it up

If you go 4-3, we need to resign Dorsey. I think he is a beast at DT in a 4-3

I think people's opinion on Childress is colored by his head coaching stint.

Jauron is not a terrible coach. He turned the Browns into a decent defense with complete crap to work with.

As for Houston... I don't want him to convert to a role where his primary role is to be a run stopper and a coverage guy first, a blitzer second. He needs to be in a role where he is primarily a pass rusher and I don't want him playing as an undersized speed rusher in a 4-3, nor do I want him adding weight to become more every down. Hali and Houston are elite talents right now, and both are more ideal for a 3-4. DJ belongs in a 3-4. Poe belongs in a 3-4.

This new staff is going to look like a group of Lombardi clones after suffering through the various clowns we've seen cycle through Arrowhead the last several years--Weis and RAC in coordinator roles not included.

Its the reality that some HCs arent good HCs but merely good coordinators. Bring on Shurmur and Chilly

I don't.

I think he's shot.

He had leg issues coming out.

Jauron is a very good coach. But he's also a strict 4-3 guy.

My last memory of Dorsey from LSU was him laying on the grass with a hammy

I want to see Charles on some ****in screen passes. Jesus, he'll light that shit up.

I agree...primarily rushing the passer.

I know. I'm really, really hoping Dorsey can talk Reid out of it. But if we're going 4-3, Jauron is a good pick.

Andy Reid and Clark Hunt make it official. Reid becomes the Head Coach of the Chiefs - #chiefs #chiefskingdom pic.twitter.com/kMRFskLM

Nice tie

Celebration continues!

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet

Andy Reid has officially signed to be the coach of the #Chiefs, I'm told. Press conference Monday 1 central

:clap:

34 sucks

Nice. Clark Hunt is turning out to be a ****in badass.

Did he text this to himself when the Giants hired his current coach?

Darn, we could have kept Todd Haley!!

Chiefs are actually going to be relevent again.

That is not a cheer. Lmfao

We are on the map. He decides a QB is worth one overall in this draft they will be seen as legit as well. None of this "no one worthy crap" :clap:

Clark's all "who's your daddy, bitches"

All these photos of Clark make me laugh he's got such a lovable face

Looks more like sheer and utter disappointment and despair rather than ecstasy.

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora

Andy Reid likely to be involved in playcalling, with some younger offensive staff, in KC (no Castillo/Mornhinweg) http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/ja...chiefs-offense …

I like that Clark is driving the black SUV.

We'll see. That first pick is huge pressure. If he ****s that up as his first move, he's ****ed. If he hits a home run we're set up for a late round playoff run, if not farther.

That's because clark isnt one of those pussy owners that has everyone do shit for them..Yes im talking to you Jerry Jones ya prick ya! Making your son in law clean your glasses. I woulda shit on your glasses.

Anywho, i knew this team was going for it once Lamar passed and his young eager son took over. He's hungry for winning

You ain't got no problem, Jules. I'm on the mother****er. Go back in there, chill them ****ers out and wait for the Walrus who should be coming directly.

It's ****in cool. Looks like he's enjoying the process.

Just read a report about Ed Donatelli (sp?) being the DC.

Oh my god. ROFL

Reid will take hands-on approach with Chiefs offense
By Jason La Canfora | CBS Sports NFL Insider
January 4, 2013 8:12 pm ET

New Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid is expected to be more hands-on running the Chiefs offense, including playcalling, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Reid is mulling his new staff and has considered names like former Browns head coach Pat Shurmur, but, at this point, is leaning toward a younger staff, given his more direct approach with this offense.

Longtime offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg will not be going to Kansas City with Reid and at this point, it's unlikely longtime offensive line coach/defensive coordinator Juan Castillo will, either. Castillo is drawing interest in both of those roles he once served under Reid. Defensively, there have been rumors of Monte Kiffin as Reid's coordinator on that side of the ball, but that is very unlikely sources said (Reid has thought highly of Ed Donatell, now coaching the 49ers defensive backs, in the past, sources said, and Jacksonville's Mel Tucker could be an option as well).

On the personnel side, Green Bay executive John Dorsey is all but certain to serve as general manager under Reid -- Reid will report directly to owner Clark Hunt -- and the team will add other personnel men as well, as the Chiefs franchise is remade following the departure of former general manager Scott Pioli.

That is contrary to pretty much EVERYTHING we have heard so far.

As long as Andy is not calling plays. Im ok. Though Payton and McCarthy do it I just want him focusing on coaching. Maybe he's learned from his mistakes so this time around he wants some say in playcalling to balance it out

I like that he's driving period.

**** YA!! A dynasty is coming. I dont care Ill ****ing bet anyone right now that we make the Super Bowl in 3 years

It was a nice quote. LMAO

THis is nothing of what TBG has said, and with LaCanfora no longer having a vulture in the Chiefs FO, I'd question how much merit this holds.

Look at Pioli leaking shit to LaCon****. Thanks Pioli enjoy youre time off scumbag

Dandy Andy will take us to new heights.

Shit. It sure sounds like we're favoring a 4-3. We can only hope that Donatell's experience in SF makes him consider a 3-4 despite his track record. Or that Dorsey's experience in a 3-4 will have him push Reid to consider a new approach.

I haven't been on enough to get the jist of what you guys are thinking recently, but do you think Reid will draft Wilson or Smith number one overall or will it be like McNabb said in your opinions?

Curious question, did Pioli ever have a picture of him signing his contract?

I'm holding out hope that Horton isn't getting any smoke as a HC and will come in here to be DC.

Yeah, I'm not worried about offense. I trust Reid will make the right choice and he's going to do it after evaluating some really good options.

If we get a QB.

I like how we've played the last couple of years with a 3-4. I felt the Chiefs did a really good job against the run last year.

But as a philosophy, I prefer the 4-3.

I honestly could give a shit about what D we run. This man wins and he has been to a Super Bowl. He's won with the 43. Sign Dorsey and run Tamba, Dorsey, Poe and Houston out there as your dline

I'm going to start a twitter war with LaCanfora...kidding.

Maybe.

If Clowney was eligible, they'd pick him. I don't know what McNabb said, but they'll HAVE to go QB, IMO.

LaCanfora is no longer a mouthpiece for the Chiefs. It's a reason I wish Pioli wasn't in the meeting with them. But I guess he probably signed some confidentiality agreement.

He won with a 4-3 run by a man who's no longer alive. Since then, in the last 4 years, his defense has struggled to stay in the top 15 and has gone through 3 different defensive coordinators. All of whom were disasters.

As I've said before, Reid needs to stay further away from the DC hire. Because he doesn't know what his defensive identity is and I certainly don't think he should be ruling out a 3-4 just because he's never run it.

so what's the opinion on donatell?

McNabb said he thinks Reid will use the top pick on another player, sign a vet and draft a QB 2nd or 3rd round.
