I'm still processing someone telling me they want a head coach that can properly manage the clock yet turn around and tout McCarthy as an ideal candidate.

What's the vast difference between an unknown and a known who you are hoping will actually evolve. Does that talk of hoping of someone evolving sound familiar?

OK I'm sure this was directed at me. Yep I want a coach with experience that has learned from his mistakes. Ron Rivera never learned from his mistakes. I am pushing McCarthey because I feel he gives us the best chance to win. I know for a fact that scoring points puts more asses in seats, but wins you less championships. Mr. Tepper has decided to hire an offensive guy, which I think is fine, but tells me it may be more about ticket sales than championships. I just believe McCarthey gives us the best chance to win right away. I think if we hire any other guy, it will be a 2-3 year rebuild no matter what, then ask yourself what Cam Newton, Luke, or CMC will we have in 2-3 years. That's all I'm saying, maybe Rivera's clock management skills or lack thereof was the wrong issue to discuss.

I'm not unequivocally against hiring a guy with experience. From the angle you are presenting I certainly understand that. But at the end of the day we might as well be honest with ourselves about the reality of hiring McCarthy. We are hoping he has changed just like we hoped Ron would. Even McCarthy himself is touting his philosophy change with the talk of analytics.

Absolutely, he could be an epic failure. Tepper’s dilemma is hiring someone with a good chance of success that keeps the fan base. We are a very fickle fan base as you are aware. I said it in another thread, I’m more worried about that DC role than anything. If we don’t hire the right guy for our defense the best offensive mind in the league will not matter.

He's just salty asf because he didn't see this pinned and created a duplicate thread about this discussion and it was predictably deleted.

He's been doing that for years. I don't know if he simply doesn't check threads before making one, or he wants his thread to be the cool one, lol.

How much of the Chiefs success is Eric’s and how much of it is Reid’s? 

true, but that logic is used among a lot of successful coaches.  Reid's coaching tree is actually pretty solid.  Doug Pederson was his OC in KC, Sean McDermmott spent 9 years under him, and yes even Ron Rivera learned under him (that shouldn't be a knock since Rivera was overall successful here, it was just time for change and a new direction).  If he sticks with Reids style, it really could unlock CMC's true potential which would be really interesting to watch.

Again, I am super excited about this.  I REALLY hope we are being legit and not going after a token Rooney interview with no intent. 

Doubt it, Fewell is getting an interview, and if there is anyone who's purely a Rooney rule interview, it's him.  Theres no reason to interview a second minority coach unless you're legitimately interested.

      At worst he becomes an upgrade to Wonnum.  At best, he becomes a poor man's Myles Garrett. His ceiling is high, his productivity is low.  HOWEVER--it works both ways.  If players are All Americans in college and the bust in the NFL, there are a ton of UDFAs that become stars.  In other words, I would not put too much on college performance when evaluated any player.  I like him--put him in the Sawyer (Ohio St), Jackson (Ark) category, but Stewart is the most impressive athlete.

      I’d rather have Osa Odighizuwa from the Cowboys. Similar player who wasn’t carried by the elite Eagles D-line. Probably cheaper. Only 1 year older.

      One of my favorite positions is TE. If you have an elite TE, your offense opens up so much. Having a Greg Olsen type weapon is worth the 8th pick, BUTTTT I seem to fall in love with top 15 TE’s  and most of them end up busting. I remember wanting us to draft Kyle Pitts, OJ Howard, Eric Ebron, etc. Glad I didn’t make those picks!
