I'm not overly impressed with either.
If it is a no-brainer in your mind, then why post it? Tell more about your choice and WHY?

Other than that, McDaniels’ legacy in Denver was short-lived and filled with drama. He became the offensive coordinator for a St. Louis Rams team that suddenly looks like they need a new quarterback despite spending a No. 1 pick on Sam Bradford. In short, this would be a scary hire.
Jeff Fisher, on the other hand, was 142-120 in 17 seasons as a head coach for the Titans and while he never won a Super Bowl, he was able to maintain a long-term record of success for a franchise that ultimately decided to move on. He was ultimately fired last season after a 6-10 record, but Fisher still has a solid reputation as an NFL head coach.

Just because a caoch took one team to the promised land does not mean he can repeat. Rarely happens.
Fisher is a huge upgrade to any HC we have had since Marty. And before anyone brings up Vermeil, just remember, he sold us out of draft picks for young players to bring in the Oldes but Goodies which in turn, netted???????
What has Fisher done lately? I ask in earnest because I really don't know. What has been his record since his SB appearance? I just like Cowher's and Gruden's personalities I guess. I think they are good at producing winning teams. Perhaps I'm wrong and Fisher is the best thing since hot cakes; I just haven't seen it, but then again I haven't really been looking.Quote:

Gruden won with Dungy's team. He is a talker that likes a steady rotation of QB's. Fisher's defense's were very good for years and ownership pushed for Vince Young. Fisher did not want him. Now we know why.
Give him more say in the roster choices and I believe he would get the Chiefs to another SuperBowl. Soon.
That would definitely be fine with me; I'd get behind anyone who could get us to and through the playoffs. I think we certainly have the defensive personnel; it's the offense that concerns me - particularly the O-line.Quote:

I dont like either one of them myself. Fishers SB that he lost was back in 1999. just sayin...
McDaniels stunk up the donks and is stinking it up in St. Louis big time. He has not earned a HC job - not even close. I'm sure Pioli understands this. If not, he should be fired.
Fisher's biggest knock was in the way he handled Vince Young. When you have the owner of the
Team stepping in and publicly saying that fisher needed to start Young, that has to be your end. He did some good work in Tennessee, and was a head coach there for a lot of years. I think that is why he is likely the front runner in the search right now.

I really don't like SB nation. I mean, one of their basement dwellers- errr, staff, wrote an article on how firing Haley will set the Chiefs back to the dark ages.
As opposed to the golden days of glory that we're experiencing now?
There are just too many "experts" out and around now, because apparently, all you need to be an expert is an opinion and a keyboard.

It's not a no-brainer if Fisher doesn't want to be our HC.Quote:

I didn't think there could possibly be anything worse than Bleacher Report, but SB Nation comes pretty close. And now, Yahoo allows anyone to be a "contributing writer."Quote:

Boy, dat's kwality riting rite thare, I tell you wut!Quote:
Many more names are likely to be thrown out, but these first two couldn’t be any different if they wanted.
First of all, shouldn't that be "any more different?"
And his first draft ended with "if they wanted to." but he just learned in his freshman English class that you don't end a sentence with a preposition, so he 'fixed' it! :lol:
Between McDaniels & anybody else I'd choose anybody else, no brainer. I'm interested in Fisher coming here as well but who knows, I would just like for someone to come here and be legendary... is that too much to ask?
yea, Bill Williamson. He just follows everyone else's lead and changes it up here and there. They don't have a clue!Quote:
