Everyone wants the chiefs to change schemes.
I don’t really fault Wilks for the hc year. He’s just not a head coach

Why wouldn't that be a great hire?
I honestly have no idea if/what you’re trying to dispute here.
I clearly said I’m not saying that’s the only way to go, just simply pointing out the trend. [Reply]

I just heard it brought up on a podcast. Hadn’t really heard much of it elsewhere [Reply]

He’s been a good dc
Agree to disagree. If he's dumb enough to crater his defense to the point they're allowing damn near double in both yards and TDs against the run, he shouldn't be coming here. That's the absolute last thing we need. [Reply]

I mean the Bengals picked a QB coach over him. Is it not ****ing obvious they are following this trend?
I think it's a copycat league. That's for sure. The front office fired a head coach, so there's not exactly a vote of confidence they can be trusted to hire a good replacement. I'm glad the Chiefs have an offense guru. But if the Bengals don't draft an elite qb and if Rosen and darnold don't become elite qbs, I wonder how many will be back to the drawing board 3 years from now. Qbs coaches may be hot right now. But I wonder if that's become too watered down of late. [Reply]
The best thing that could happen to Bieniemy is for him to have another year running this offense. There are 5-8 coaching changes a year, I don't have any doubt he will get his shot. And while it is life changing money, if it were me, I'd want to be prepared when I got my shot.
One of the most impressive things I noticed with Reid when the Chiefs hired him, was how large his staff was, and that he brought in an entire crew, from the field and turf guys to the equipment managers. Reid is also always hiring these off the radar guys who over years he turns into coaches. Guys like Mike Kafka, Deland McCullough, David Girardi, and Joe Bleymaier. Reid has a system in place as far as offensive coaches are concerned. [Reply]
Although I'm glad we keep bieniemy I was still kind of holding out hope we could Backfill him with Kafka who I think would do fine. And then put in a very experienced qb handler like van pelt at qbs coach. [Reply]

The fact that it’s a trend and teams are having success doing it is only making things worse.
For one, you have all these highly paid QB’s missing out on the playoffs, so teams want to try and win with talented young QB’s on rookie deals. It’s the best way to do it in today’s NFL.
Then, if you have a defensive minded HC and your QB developer is an OC or QB coach, you have to worry about losing them every single year. It makes more sense for your HC to be that guy, so that’s why I get it. It’s easier to find DC’s year to year. [Reply]

I’m not sure if that was actually his decision to change all that up though. [Reply]
