Interesting to see some past quotes from Todd Bowles about Andy

Go on Andy, bring your pal to the Chiefs :D

Shit. I googled Todd and Chiefs and there are opinion pieces going back over a month calling him as our next DC.

Random video link here

1. Brent Venables
2. Kris Richard
3. Rex Ryan

My concern about Brett Venables is the fact he's never coached in the NFL.

Kris Richard is #1 on my list.

3. ~~Rex Ryan~~ No
4. Todd Bowles likes Andy, safe hire, good DC option
5. Marvin Lewis Andy wanted him long ago, safe hire as DC, will leave in a year or two

I'm pulling for the dark horse Tony Romo hard.

If we are gonna just randomly name former players with no coaching expierence how about 5 head. He can read defenses in his sleep and could double as a qb coach.

Peyton for DC OC HC GM and Owner.

Whoever it is needs to be a proven commodity. Andy concentrates on offense. He can't help a DC. Get some damn experience that can game plan.

Andy doesn't fire people when he ought to well should. It is one of his weaknesses as a coach.

Very long, but excellent read on Brent Venables' defense -

Quote:

An intriguing part of Venables base defense is that it is simultaneously complex yet straightforward. (I use the term base defense here to mean non- blitz calls.) He runs essentially five main split safety and nine main single-high play calls (and four of the single-high calls are essentially the same). So at first glance, Venables defense is relatively simple. But each individual play call is intricate and complex, particularly his split safety run fits. Venables schematic philosophy might be best summarized as, “depth over width.”

He's a Kansas guy, didn't realize that. Could he be a Chiefs fan growing up?

this stood out to me..

Venables is a man firmly committed to stopping the run, and isn’t afraid put his guys in one-on-one coverage to do it.

Here's one from left field: Time to bring Adam Zimmer back? Maybe too much history with the Chiefs? If he was willing, he'd bring lots of post season experience with him. Was in KC 2010-2012. Been Vikings' LB coach for 5 years. The Viking defense has been STELLAR. Top 5 in last 3 years. Top 15 for 5 years.

Adam Zimmer (born January 13, 1984) is an American football coach who is the linebackers coach for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League (NFL). He has been an assistant defensive backs coach for the Cincinnati Bengals and assistant linebackers' coach for the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints. Zimmer is the son of current Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer.

New Orleans Saints

Zimmer landed his first coaching job with the New Orleans Saints as an assistant linebackers' coach in 2006. During his first season in the NFL, the Saints won the NFC South Division Title and made it to the NFC Championship game. In the 2009 season, Zimmer's final season in New Orleans, the Saints went on to win Super Bowl XLIV.

Kansas City Chiefs

Zimmer became the Chiefs' assistant linebackers coach in the 2010 season. In his first season, he helped the Chiefs allow 46.2 fewer rushing yards per game compared to the year before.

In the 2011 season, linebackers Tamba Hali and Derrick Johnson were selected to the Pro Bowl.

During the 2012 season, linebacker Jovan Belcher fatally shot his girlfriend then drove to the Chiefs' facility where he committed suicide in front of head coach Romeo Crennel. Adam Zimmer was strongly affected by this, especially after he had recently lost his mother of natural causes in 2009. Zimmer was let go when Kansas City fired Crennel after the 2012 season.

Cincinnati Bengals

For the 2013 season, Zimmer joined the Bengals alongside his father Mike Zimmer as an assistant defensive backs coach while his dad was the defensive coordinator.

Minnesota Vikings

When Mike Zimmer became the 9th head coach of the Minnesota Vikings for the 2014 season, Adam Zimmer was brought in to be the linebackers' coach. The Vikings won the NFC North Division Title in the 2015 season, allowing only 18.9 points per game on defense, ranked 5th-best in the NFL. Linebacker Anthony Barr was selected to the 2016 Pro Bowl as a replacement for Jamie Collins.

Venables would be lovely, but he just got a big raise at Clemson and his kid goes there, so I'm sure it would be tough to convince him to leave.

Venables isn't abandoning his family at Clemson, has unlimited job security (look at all the HC jobs he declined) and is getting paid very well to be a DC there.

He's never leaving for the NFL.
