My TV rarely is on anything other then ESPN. Most the time I don't even pay attention to it. But when I hear the word Chiefs It grabs my attention. On ESPN I have heard a number of talking heads talk about how this is not a great hire for the Chiefs. There reason is simply this. That the new OC and Dc have not had success outside of new England. To me that's not a fair statement. Or even fair to bring up. Why?

The main thing is that the two had much different jobs from when they left New England. That being a head coach. They are not being asked to be a head coach in Kansas City they are being asked to be the OC and Dc of the team. That's all. The Head coaching position is entirely different and you can be a good Coordination without being a good head coach. Can We say that its a great hire at this second probably not but if you look at the track record of the two as OC and DC is pretty encouraging.

Its not like the two did not have any success when they were not in New England. Charlie Weis built a Great offense while he was at Noter Dame. That was not the problem for the fighting Irish. The problem was that Charlie could never get a defense that could cover there own shadow. That's not what hes being asked to do in KC. The thing he is being asked to do is to help build an offense something that he showed he can do outside of New England already.

As for Remeo he stayed in the NFL and went to a team the well In all reality has never done any thing since they got back into the NFL in 1999. Yes he failed at his job but he came the closest that anyone has came to getting success. I can not sit here and tell you that I thougt he did a horrible job with the Browns. But like Weis he is not being asked to be a Head coach. Romeo has had a lot of success being a DC so there is no reason to think that he wont be able to get the job done in KC.

I truly hope that both work out and are great fits to help Todd Haley and Get the Chiefs to at least as many super bowl wins then what they have in New England. I am excited about the two hires. I think that both will work out for a long time in KC. GO CHIEFS!!!

I agree. Both these coaches are being brought back into their element. Good read!

well I have high hopes-but I always do in the offseason-lol

You and me both buddy!

after all these years i have learned not to get to up for the offseason.
To me me after all these years, there has been only four movements by the chiefs that got "excited" that the chiefs have made.
1) hiring marty. after years of flyby night coaches and he was proven
2) hiring of vermil. just off a superbowl win and his offenses
3) signing willie roaf. it was the big signing that got holmes and the offense going
4) firing of queen carl. enough said
To many years of cheapnest by the hunt family and stupid signings by peterson has led to bad offseasons

Unfortunately the business aspect of the game tends to over-shadow the game itself.
