Chiefs Daboll - Why did we hire this guy again? - Page 5

blsilks · 12-09-2012, 01:36 PM

In 2009, Daboll joined Eric Mangini's staff in Cleveland as offensive coordinator. Under Daboll the Browns had the NFL's 32nd ranked offense in 2009 and the 29th ranked offense in 2010. Daboll was named Offensive Coordinator of the Miami Dolphins under Tony Sparano in 2011, with his Dolphins improving from 30th in the league to 20th in overall offense. On February 6, 2012 the Kansas City Chiefs announced the hiring of Daboll as offensive coordinator, replacing the retired Bill Muir. The Kansas City Chiefs currently have the 31st ranked offense in the NFL. Somewhere along the way somebody taught this guy to think that losing is winning.

What's the worst that could happen?...

I can't see that he'd be doing any worse than BD. I'd like to be optimistic that Zorn would be doing good enough to garnish HC talk after a few years of success.

At least he has upside.

Because he's Crennel's bitch. Wherever Crennel goes, so does Daboll.

Cool he can follow RAC to the scrap heap that is retirement.

Serious question: what has Jim Zorn ever done that makes you think he'd be a good OC or eventual HC candidate?

I guess some give him credit for Hasselbeck when he was in Seattle under Holmgren, and Flacco for 1 year.

I was excited with the Daboll hiring because I thought he was an OC that would call for downfield passing, but it seems we got just the opposite. The play calling is so bad I am left stunned. What happened to the "take what the defense gives you" statement? The Chiefs are the least attacking and least imaginative offense in the NFL. We don't even know if Quinn can throw or the receivers can catch a downfield pass over the middle.

The problem with that is that you assumed Daboll would be allowed to call anything other than a conservative passing game.

The #1 reason Daboll was brought in was because he would be a yes man.

He's calling the offense he's been told to call, plain and simple.

However, I'm shocked that this guy is getting paid, literally, hundreds of thousands of dollars, to be this horrible at his job. How ****ing bad do you have to be to get fired from this organization? How ****ing bad do you have to be to continually get rehired for a position you have already shown massive incompetence for?

I am absolutely befuddled.

I didn't know much about him before we hired him. I didn't think he could be THIS bad. Wow.

to respond to the OP.

....because we're the Chiefs, and we can't do anything right.
oh, and because we're retarded.

Yes, it sure looks that way. It is beyond disgusting, and makes me wish for the days of Paul Hackett and Jimmy Raye.

Calling time outs to get the ball back, then running a draw play speaks of someone having serious brain damage.

that, and he had a decent west coast offense in Washington, but shouldn't have been the head coach, like Romeo should just be a DC, where he has success. Although, now Romeo is getting too old and isn't my choice for DC next year. zorn learned offense from Holmgren and hasn't really gotten to be just an OC. I wonder why he wasn't promoted up and instead we went after Brian Dumbass.

I wish I knew why he got hired but I sure can figure out why he needs to be fired
