All of us have our wishes and desires....Let's spread some good karma to the Chiefs and say something positive.
Great job hiring Pioli and Haley. We are off to a great start with proven winners taking the helm.
These guy have a way with pulling a team together and making players play better.
Good trades, FA signings and a good draft are ahead.
The Red and Gold Storm is Building in Kansas City!

I am going to be positive and not make judgements until after I see how they play in the regular season at least. I will give the staff a pass for awhile I don't care what they do as long as I can see progress being made.
Great thread idea!
I'm really enjoying the moves that Clark Hunt, and now Hunt and Pioli had made in this off season. I have confidence now that we'll see a good DC come in, but I'm really most excited now for free agency and the draft, to see what player additions we can make.

You want some positive karma, I got some for ya:
we are only a couple FA's and a good draft away from competing for the AFC West!!!
:bananen_smilies046:
Cant wait for FA to start and our D to come together!!!
Welcome to KC Mr. Haley, with the right D-cord., we can win this div. next year. (still waiting for pro anglers positive karma)
Herm's gone! Carl's gone! Sounds pretty positive to me.
How is Haley a proven winner??? DO TELL???
Is he a proven loser? Do tellQuote:

Damn that sounds kinda harda$$, but hey, its been over 40 years. I'm ready.:beer:
Maybe with Haley as our head coach, he can teach Bowe how to catch. I love Bowe, but a few less dropped passes would be nice.
What's the point of telling you? Not like you'll listen.Quote:

But on a brighter note we got Pioli (well see) and we kept Chan (for now) and Tg might stay and our corners should be even better next year.
I like their uniforms. :DQuote:

Shall I assume you were happy with the worst DL in NFL History. Worst Defense in Chiefs history. No LB Corps. An OL that forced a Pro team to adopt the spread because they couldn't block for a pro-set. Revolving door QB's... Where exactly did you think this team was going? No, We're in much better shape. I'm pretty sure Pioli knows a hell of a lot more about selcting a coach than you do. We finally have something to be happy about.Quote:

Anyone look at the results of the poll on the main page? 55 votes 41 yes, 2 NO, and a the rest undecided.
The drunk driving guy who wanted out of KC? Oh yeah, I remember him. Good riddance in my opinion. A few more sacks wouldnt have made our defense leaps and bounds better. It maybe would have won us 2-3 more games this year.Quote:

If he can't, signing another reciever that can and will catch should induce some peer pressure.Quote:

You said it a whole lot better than I ever could.Quote:

I actually (given the available coaches) keep chan on as HC. And if he did a great job then keep him on other wise next year we all know the crop of coaches that will be available.
I don't think another experiment year (with Chan this time) was in anybody's best interest. You've got to go with what you have avaliable because at the end of the day this is an entertainment business and failure doesn't profit as well, knowingly risking an off year isn't an option. Either way, just because guys like Shanny and Chin are potential candidates for '10 doesn't mean we would land them.
To everyone who doesn't agree with Todd Haley being the new coach, if Tony believes shouldn't YOU believe?

Who is to say that next year we could have got Shanny, Gruden, Chower or anyother or the "top" HC to come to KC, they might not want to come unless they had total control and we would have to dump Pioli also to get them much less not want to come to the boonies in KC? If we were just going to try to tread water for a year they should have just keep HE.
Here's a fun game. How many SB coaches have ever done well at their post-SB destination?Quote:

Here's a final fun game. Let's count the number of times Cowher, Shanahan, and Gruden choked away a season on their old teams.
These people pining for guys like Gruden, Cowher, and Shanahan are delusional.

Only time will tell if we have that flame or not but I am happy with the hire.
For kicks....I will try to answer in some worth while degree.Quote:

Second: Cowhers teams choked, I suppose, or was it bad decisions by the players? I know that Cowher did not throw those stupid picks in the flat during the SB...it was Chris...I mean Neil O'Donnel! LMAO! His accomplishments AND lack there of were also very dependent on the "superstars". He relied on over achievers and that got him to a few AFC champ games and 1-1 at the SB.
Gruden: Didn't Rich Gannon throw a high number of pics in the SB?? Didn't Gruden take the Bucs to a SB and win with Brad Johnson? Not too bad, I suppose.
Shannahan: 2 SB's in 2 appearances...Pretty darn good but admittingly, in other seasons after the SB's, he could not get it done.
In a final note, as far as folks getting to goo-goo over these guys as candidates, I think you are right to a degree. They did have to pay some dues to get what they got and sometimes it was not pretty. I really don;t think they would be leaps and bounds better than the Haley hire but the experience "MAY" have made a difference.
Just my spin on it! :beer:
