La Canfora: NFL execs believe Polian will land in KC/Eagles eyeing Chip Kelly
 

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/ja...nfora/21445566

If Polian can bring Kelly to KC, then it'll be worth it. As long as Chris isn't a total dumbass.

I really hope the Eagles don't get Kelly. They're always going after innovative hires and succeeding more often than not.

He should be on his death bed.

**** them. Come here and take the cushy job. It takes, like, 40 years for our fans and media to get angry.

Bill Polian's drafts in Indianapolis are far from impressive. I dont know.

At least he is not afraid to draft a QB in the first though which is what we need.

He drafted Peyton Manning. Was that brilliant? Seemed obvious

There aren't many teams that had better drafts from '98-2007.

It wasn't at the time.

I'm pretty sure Polian doesn't get all the credit for Manning. You have no idea who made the move lol. Quit it.

Dude from Indy on the radio last week said Polian and Pioli both trained at Auswitch. People hate working for Polian too. Chunt to hire another Nazi?

He could have chosen Ryan Leaf over Peyton. Thats what the Chiefs would've done.

Giving credit to Polian for not being afraid to take a QB in the first, when that QB is Peyton Manning is like saying the guy who asked out Kate Upton had a lot of courage. It's ****ing Peyton Manning.

Polian is terrible.

I also think a guy like Matt Barkley would be a Polian pick.

I'd puke

Polian would be epic fail...

You just can't hire a 70 year old GM. You need someone that's going to be here a long time. The turnover on this team and staff has been incredible over the last 4 years.

They need stability and they have to get this hire right.

Polian offers none of that.

This.

Polian also sounds too much like Pioli. Both in name sake and attitude.

**** them both.

Why would anyone be ok with hiring a 69 year old GM? His five year plan consists of not only winning a Super Bowl, but not dying.

No Polian for me .........Just say no, new blood!

Knowing Clark, he will be thinking it's a safe hire, it's not.

I wish we had an owner that knew football and didn't need to bring in a consultant all the damn time. Freaking trust fund babies.

Tom Gamble damn it! Not this old **** and his douche bag son.

DO NOT WANT.

Bill Polian
Chip Kelly
Geno Smith


could be worse

If Hunt goes with Polian, I'm guessing he's also going with Polian's son to take over after a few seasons.

I still do not think Hunt is going to replace Pioli after the season.

Scott Pioli
Todd Haley/Romeo Crennel
Matt Cassel


You are damn right.

As drag my ass across your carpet,

If this is true, Clark is the dumbest owner in the NFL.

my opinion since 2008

Your and idiot.

I can't believe so many here shit on Bill Polian.

Every team he has ran has been to either the superbowl or conference championship game. Every one of them also had a franchise quarterback that either he drafted or was in place and the guy understands that to win you need to keep putting pieces around him to be able to win big games.

Bill Polian would draft Geno Smith and try his hardest to lock up Bowe and Albert...he wouldn't stop there, either. The guy would be relentless in finding quality receivers and other skill position players to go around the kid to help him succeed.

Peyton Manning is the only franchise QB he has ever drafted.

He is not looking for a GM job continue his legacy.

He is looking for a GM job to set his son up, who is just ****ing terrible.

Yep.

Everywhere polian goes he succeeded. His philosophy was pay your top 8 players then fill in your roster with mid to late picks

His philosophy is also to hook his worthless sad****rapeshit excuse of a son up with a job

It is the location where half of my "million dollar ideas" are inspired.

Who cares? Just fire the son after Bill retires

In other words, Clark wants a GM he can hand off all aspects of the franchise's operations to.

Clark is a middle manager, cast as a CEO due to his last name.

Leadership fail.

It took 2-12 and all kinds of bullshit to fire Pioli. I hope Clark is willing to do the job.

If Hunt hires Polian, it's because he's fully aware of the situation, and is buyng into the idea for the sake of stability.

.

You do realize that COMPETENT CEOs don't meddle in the daily affairs of the business, right?

I said your and idiot. Are you blind too?

I know nothing of polians son. Why does everyone hate him?

IIRC he also drafted Kerry Collins, who lead his team to the conference championship game very early on for an expansion team. Its was only after Polians days there that he went totally downhill.

Lets say this is true, because it probably is (that he is gonna try to set it up for Chris)...that would also give Bill more motivation to make the right moves then, right? Kinda like Chris' nest egg of sorts.

When Bill steps down, he is gonna want to majority of the heavy lifting to have already been done. He will want to be handing over a team with a sub 30 year old franchise quarterback and a good defense.

I guess I don see the downside in all of that.

Lets cross that bridge when we get there.

During the last couple years in Indy, Chris was playing a larger role in the team and didn't do a very good job. He definitely wasn't ready and may not be now, either. Its a legitimate concern....but his dad is one of the better GMs in the league and he absolutely "gets it" in how to build a team from the ground up.

I don't want a good 2 or 3 year run.

I want sustained success.

To achieve that, you need a guy in charge that will continue to bring in talent after 2 or 3 years.

Understandable...

pretty sure he was letting Chirs do the drafts the last two or 3 years in Indy which is why the picks are so god awful

Bill isnt "setting" him up, he will let him come right in, promote him and let him shuve his stupid face in decision making like draft picks right away, while Bill just handles a smaller role as long as his legacy name is attached to it, his kid gets a free pass.

Theres a reason his kid is at a such an awful lowly position without him right now

If Bill drafts Geno Smith and a few other good starters, Chris' job will be a manageable one. I am still of the opinion that all this team needs is a handful of players (including 2 qbs) and a good coaching staff to quickly turn things around and have sustained success. We have the pieces for a good pass rush, a couple good pieces in the secondary and a handful of good skill position players on o as well as a young, solid offensive line.

Chris' job will be to keep players in house and to hit a few singles anddoubles in the drafts.

He's saying that your "and" is an idiot.

Keep this simple... NO to Bill Polian

Next.

That's my biggest worry. I don't think he can even do that.

All of his drafts will be giant wet farts. I can see myself having no confidence whatsoever in anything just like it was when Carl was making picks

Polian hamstrung Mannings career with shitty defenses. Peyton and Indy should have many more rings.

Conforna talking out of bis ass as usual

He reported the Pioli extension, didn't he?

I wouldn't trust anything that douchebag says about the Chiefs.

And yet, the reason they didn't have more rings is not because of the defense. But because of Peyton.

Manning hamstrung his own career with his huge contract that didn't allow more talent on the team around him.

any GM change without a HC, OC change is not acceptable.

I want to hear that Crennel and Daboll are out of a job

Gotta get young on both moves imo.

nah, i don't see any way we change GM's but don't change the coaching staff.


Might change coaches and keep the GM but not the other way around ... just doesn't work that way

why does age matter for the GM?

Age should absolutely matter for a team that's young. You want a GM that's going to be here 5+ years and a 70 year old does not provide that. How many 80 year old GMs are there?

This organization needs stability. It needs guys that are going to be in place for a while after the debacle that has been the last 4 years.

ROFL

You think there is even a 1% chance a new GM is hired is goes with Romeo Crennel as his first head coach?

thank you

Exactly.

They are going to gut the football side of the operation.

This.

We win.

WE WIN.

DO NOT FORGET TO THANK THOSE WHO CARED ENOUGH TO MAKE IT HAPPEN...

No. Sweet God NO.

And **** you Slappy.:)

We only win if the right choice is made, not if history repeats itself. I truly believe Polian would be a bad hire based on what this franchise needs...

Here's a sampling of the stupidity of Chiefs fans taken from comments under the Chiefs' last FB post:

"I say no to geno smith i say we take teo in the 1st and then the qb from kansas state in the 2nd round cuz we now need a milb to"

"We have cap space most in Nfl..We have lots draft pics..Let get Mark Sanchez he needs new scenery.Re sign Dwayne Bowe .We have tAlent to beSt anyone.Let get Brian Billick..We will rise"

"1st round we need running back Monte Ball from Wisconsin, we need to keep our running game stout. Charles is not getting younger . we can get a quality QB in the 2nd round or go after A Smith and Kirk Cousins. We have a stout defense if it isn't broke don't fix it . Now the REAL need GM and COACH !!!!!!!!! GET'EM OUT !!!!!!!"

"Do any of you really think that a high draft pick is really going to fix the problems that they have. What we need is a proven QB, move Crennel to D coord. and trade away the draft picks for offensive linemen and recievers."

"They don't need qb use cassel fire offensive coaching, keep Romeo with defense draft Te'o problems solved playoffs nuff said"

:facepalm:

God our fans are so ****ing dumb it hurts.

My head is spinning, it's so mind-blowing.

holy shit LMAO

Is it possible to fire the fanbase, too?

It's absolutely mind-blowing what almost 40 years of incompetent suck will do to a fan base.

I swear that 90% of this fan base only watches Chiefs football and has no clue what good football looks like. The only time they get to see a real qb, they HATE HIM because he is always on the other team.

I swear 95% of this fan base watches only Chiefs football and doesn't even know what the **** they are actually seeing.


I mean really:
"They don't need qb use cassel fire offensive coaching, keep Romeo with defense draft Te'o problems solved playoffs nuff said"

Please stop posting this stuff here. Some of us are avoiding FB for a ****ing reason.
