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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

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

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
