Brian Daboll Goes to Chiefs as OC

Seems no one wants to hire him

i felt the same way in 09 when everyone was signing coaches, but the jets still didn’t have one. they were waiting for the ravens to lose to get rex. maybe there is someone there

I do. I love Rex in some ways, but seriously question his abilities as a HC in other ways. I don’t think he is a very intelligent man and that’s always gonna hold him and the team back. That’s not something he can change or control to a great deal, except to accept those ways/areas in which he’s likely to shoot himself (and the team) in the foot, and stay away from them. As Clint Eastwood (Dirty Harry) said in one of his movies, “A man’s got to know his limitations.” I don’t think Rex does.

He’s brilliant for the most part when it comes to defensive strategy, hiding his defensive player’s deficiencies/weaknesses. I’m guessing that he can’t help it that Tanny has done an awful job of getting him blue chip defensive talent to work with save Revis and maybe Wilkerson and Ellis. I’m not sure he’s the best judge of talent, however, and he doesn’t seem to have the ability to quickly sense when something isn’t working, either with his own decisions or approach to his own life, or with some strategy or plan of attack with the team. I don’t think he understands at all the pressure he puts on his players or how stupid he makes himself look when he makes all those predictions and shoots his mouth off to the media.

Supposedly, he learned from this past season and is gonna make a concerted effort to correct those things. For all our sake, if not his, I hope he can. I’d like to see him succeed both for his sake as well as ours. I’m just not sure that any offspring of Buddy Ryan will succeed as a HC. Apples don’t fall far from the tree. Buddy was a terrible HC.
