Ballard Interviewing for Colts GM
SIAP:
Chiefs director of football operations Chris Ballard will interview for the Colts' general-manager vacancy on Wednesday. Ballard has been a hot name in GM searches the past couple years. He turned down an interview request from the 49ers earlier this month, but the Colts job comes with a franchise quarterback in Andrew Luck. The Colts are casting a wide net in their search to replace overmatched Ryan Grigson. https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/824295951653306369 |

Safe to say Ballard knows our full draft board thus far, and our strategy going into FA and the draft. That sucks.
I also wonder how many of our scouts he will take with him, or other assistant coaches?

Even if Ballard/Toub were to leave, and considering everything else, I'd have a hard time seeing less than 9 wins....
But, I'd have just as hard of a time seeing more than 10. |

10 max 8 minimum A return to mediocrity is looming, and this recent post-season convinced me the Chiefs are no darlings of the NFL. The players s will only buy-in for so long before either moving on, or becoming complacent. Reid/Smith is not for long. One has to go soon, because the league is moving on to the next big thing..... |

As long as Dorsey, Andy and Sutton are here we'll be fine

A. We'll have a good season (but will lose early in the playoffs) and will have a pick too low in the draft to get anyone worth a damn. The Chiefs are too chicken shit to trade up so we will miss on a QB yet again. B. We'll have an average tob below average season (8-8,6-10) and would possibly be within reach of a top QB. However, we'll still be too chicken shit to trade up and the guy we're aiming for will go off the board before it's our pick. I could come up with more scenarios, but one of those two seem likely. |

We could have taken a Carr, Bridgewater, etc. in the draft but as always we wait too ****ing long. Just like when Trent Green left we never play for the future until it's too late and we have absolutely nothing at QB. We'll end up trading for another shitty backup or sign a piece of shit journeyman and will continue the endless cycle that is the Chiefs franchise.

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports Colts GM candidate Chris Ballard is "high" on Chiefs special teams coach Dave Toub as a head-coaching candidate.
La Canfora suggests Ballard could bring Toub to Indy in 2018 if Chuck Pagano indeed stays on as Colts head coach for another year. La Canfora does not believe owner Jim Irsay's intention to keep Pagano is a "deal breaker" in contract talks with Ballard, who has now interviewed twice for the Colts' GM vacancy. Either way, Toub is a name to keep in mind long term for Indianapolis. |

Also, I think at times we as fans put too much stock into a coaching staff.. don't get me wrong, you need a good one, perhaps great to win a SB.
But at the end of the day, talent trumps all. The greatest coaching staff with the 49ers roster isn't going anywhere. Hell, Denver basically replaced their whole staff after losing in the divisional round as the 2 seed and turned around and won the SB, because they had a shitload of talent on their defense and playmakers on O. The Chiefs still have the raw talent on the roster to win 9-11 games. But then comes that playoff thing... |
