thes may be just dreaming but there is some very good names in this list thanks aChief to the end
I think I put Cowher and Schottenheimer at the top my the list, but there could be some new tallent out there that would be a fresh change…
I happen to think that Bill Kuharich is going to get promoted on the Player Personnel side…
One name I haven’t heard is Russ Ball a VP with the Packers. He was with the Chiefs when Marty had his run.
Marc Ross, NY Giants Director of College Scouting
Ruston Webster, Seatle Seahawks Vice President and Director of Player Personnel
[...] has a post on his site where he documents a list of candidates to replace Peterson. Dominik is on that [...]
Lake Dawson, Director of Pro Personnel, Tennessee Titans
Marc Ross Director of College Scouting for the New York Giants
Herm Edwards – if he wants the job he’s certainly qualified.
You have left Sundquist off the list. If not for Shanahan he could have built a good team in Denver.
Brian Billick
Is that Jimmy Raye the same former offensive coordinator with the Chiefs under Gunther?
Bob did you feel the need to use every letter of the alphabet in compiling this list . Surly Vermeil & Jinny Raye wouldn’t be on anyone’s list would they. Steelers – Colts – Patriots are the only ones that cut overprice players for younger players.
I think Herm has gone to the dogs. (rin tin tin)
If Kraft wants compensation for Pioli give them D Johnson . Why waste a pick it seems every czar Bob talks to says Pioli .
Get a proven winner, let him build a winner. Vermeil, Raye and some others are not what Chiefs need. Someone from a winner who knows how to do things right.
ron hughes is #1 on my list followed by marc ross. both of these guys are the college scouting gurus for there respective teams. hughes for pittsburgh, when those lose a vet they just plug in a rook and he plays great and ross for the giants, who during their superbowl year had every rookie drafted play a significant amount and play at a high level. these 2 should be the guys we throw money at. I don’t know why shottenheimer and cowher are even candidates…just because they can coach doesn’t mean they could run the show. Lets gets some guys in there that know what they are doing.!
I like Pioli like most people, but also Chris Mara and Marc Ross of the NYG’s, the three guys from the Steelers, and Heckert from Philly. The great thing is there is more than a few good candidates.
Schottenheimer-GM
Cowher-Head Coach
Lake Dawson wasn’t he a reciver for us a one time
i like the gm marty and cowher as coach
Lake was a WR with the Chiefs
Lake dawson wore a red jersey, and that is about it.
You know if Bill Parcells (sp) leaves Miami we might as well try to get him to be the GM. If that goes through then let BP pick the coach.. we know he can do that look at Miami. Then we get rid of LJ and any other punk who doesn’t want to play hard. THEN maybe we can move forward. Wow what about …………….. Tom Osborne? he knows how to WIN. GO BIG RED !! and gold.
1976 , Your right about Lake and LJ plus !!!
Someone thats sharp , —-and thinks outside the box and has a lot of reasons to go head on with this divison !!!!!!!!!
Mike Shanahan .
SCHOTT. AND COWHER ARE PROVEN AND LOVED IT IN KC
Gretz…r u leaving with carl? i hope so.
