Pioli to Chiefs a done deal

Per PFT.

If, as has been speculated, Pioli decides to let go of Herman Edwards, then Fox's old buddy would be free to join his staff as a DC (and would do so with the full trust of Fox to run things his way).

This could be interesting.

(of course, it could also be nothing)

Edwards is one of those guys who works much better as a coordinator than a head coach. His record as a head coach is bad enough that he might not get another offer for that spot, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him get attention from anyone needing a DC.

Friendship with Fox could give Fox an inside track, but it could also be a hindrance (the old "would you want your friend as your boss" conundrum).

I do firmly believe that if he came here, Fox would give him full autonomy to run the defense as he saw fit.

My first thought when I saw this about Pioli going to KC. Herm's out! Maybe to Carolina? But isn't Lovie friends with Herm also?

Don't know, but I'm pretty sure the Bears are happy with their DC (forget who it is). They could offer him something else, of course.

It is possible that the Lions or Raiders look at him as a head coach, despite his record.

While Herm was pretty good as a player for Philly I haven't exactly been wowed by KC's defensive prowess. What makes you think he would be better than Trgo?? ( I know almost anyone is, but it begs the question)

He was way better as a DC than as a head coach.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By fanpanther · Posted

      I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
