Pioli to Chiefs a done deal

Per PFT.

If, as has been speculated, Pioli decides to let go of Herman Edwards, then Fox's old buddy would be free to join his staff as a DC (and would do so with the full trust of Fox to run things his way).

This could be interesting.

(of course, it could also be nothing)

Edwards is one of those guys who works much better as a coordinator than a head coach. His record as a head coach is bad enough that he might not get another offer for that spot, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him get attention from anyone needing a DC.

Friendship with Fox could give Fox an inside track, but it could also be a hindrance (the old "would you want your friend as your boss" conundrum).

I do firmly believe that if he came here, Fox would give him full autonomy to run the defense as he saw fit.

My first thought when I saw this about Pioli going to KC. Herm's out! Maybe to Carolina? But isn't Lovie friends with Herm also?

Don't know, but I'm pretty sure the Bears are happy with their DC (forget who it is). They could offer him something else, of course.

It is possible that the Lions or Raiders look at him as a head coach, despite his record.

While Herm was pretty good as a player for Philly I haven't exactly been wowed by KC's defensive prowess. What makes you think he would be better than Trgo?? ( I know almost anyone is, but it begs the question)

He was way better as a DC than as a head coach.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
