Very interesting.

This would be the best hire out of all the prospects so far in my opinion.

It would be AWESOME if he brought L'Jarius Sneed with him.

KC pundits are saying the Chiefs will let Sneed walk rather than pay him market value.

I like the idea of a Spag disciple, however, much of what Spag was able to do this past season was due to the fact he had three very good CBs that could play man or zone equally well. We don't have that quality in our secondary. Merritt would have some work to do.

They tagged him. It was on the Larry Krueger show this morning.

No they didn't. They told him he could seek a trade, at that point they would tag and trade him, or can tag him by the deadline and work on a trade. They might also decide to let Sneed walk and tag Jones

They don't have cap room for both. One or the other will get the tag.

If Sneed leaves, they still have Williams and McDuffie and another young guy to take his place. If Jones leaves, the Chiefs DL is just not the same.

That is what I basically said. You can't tag 2 players anyways

The idea is that they extend Jones and if they can't make Snead work then they trade him somewhere.

Shanahan: So explain to me how you were able shut down my receivers, tight end, and brilliant play calling

Meritt: Simple. Your play calling in the passing game sucks some major ass. I didn't have to plan much since we knew exactly what you were callin because of lyour predictability. Why do you think you're 0-3 in Superbowls ?

Shanahan: Ummm... Joan, can you in bring Daniel Bullocks for his interview.

*0-2*

I still do not understand why it took so long to interview this guy.

kyle must have really needed some time off? PTSD central over here

Or maybe Bullocks was on vacation, like damn near every coach/player after the season is over.

It's kinda cute how some of you guys spin Kyle's deficiencies into positives. Takes 3 weeks post SB to interview a guy you've been working with for years. No no it was because he was on a 3 week cruise. Kyle would never interfere with that, he's too swell a guy. lol…

Omg that's comedy gold, why is this guy on a forum and not a head writer for SNL.

This is actually pretty comparable to the garbage SNL has been turning out for years.

BREAKING: #49ers HC Kyle Shanahan reached out to former #Patriots HC Bill Belichick to gauge his interest in becoming the DC, per sources

"Kyle knew it was a long shot, but out of respect reached out to Bill," source said.

Sounds like Bill kindly declined & will do TV in '24 pic.twitter.com/W2IFXHXK72

What don't you like about his body of work in that role?

My only question is why he hasn't been a coordinator thus far? He's apparently a very well respected DB coach, won multiple SBs with the Giants, won three with the Chiefs thus far but he's never been a particularly hot name to be DC. Even when Spagnuolo took the Rams job he didn't bring this guy along.

So what have all these other teams being thinking that no one has yet seen fit to make him a coordinator despite an impeccable resume?

It's extremely rare for someone to have been an assistant as long as he has and to go on to be a coordinator. Even more rare to have success doing it.
