What? That would be a blessing in disguise! Would make Bowles available during this horrible offseason f**k up so far by Kyle.

But the question would then be, would Bowles be willing to come here to work under Kyle (especially when we have to give him all that money we were thinking of giving to Salah, becomes Bowles deserves that kind of money.). Or would he prefer to sit out the season.

How is this off season a f**k up? I swear some of you just say the most idiotic s**t. Saleh is offered the job, that's no secret, it doesn't matter what team wants him, everyone is just gonna have to wait. The only reasons why you're saying s**t like that because nothing has been announced. Like I've been saying how do you know they're not talking to more candidates? You don't think they're prepared if Saleh is hired as a HC!!!

Relax go see a movie!!!!

Because yes, ONCE AGAIN, Kyle seems unprepared.

He seems to have banked only on getting Salah 1st and foremost, not taking into consideration that Salah might get a head coaching gig. Or not caring and taking a chance, instead of interviewing other proven defensive coordinators.

We missed out on a legit vet Defensive Coordinator in Lou Anarumo... seems we are about to miss out on Dennis Allen.

And we didn't interview Jim Fassel's son for our much needed Special Teams gig....and maybe about to miss out on Rizzi to the Bears. No reports that we have interviewed them.

What do YOU think is Kyle's backup plan to Salah? What don't you want for sure? Say it now, so you don't try to play it off later like it was a good selection.

Again, Kyle fired the defensive coordinator (who held the Chiefs to 3 pts in the first half...13pts for three qtrs) right after the Super Bowl with no legit hire planned to take his place...someone legit to help keep us in it during our Super Bowl window. But what happend? Defense got worse...offensive players like Purdy and Deebo started pressing, trying to do too much...and we missed the playoffs.

Because he was bad all season and a nice performance against a mediocre offense, which tailed off when it mattered most, wasn't enough to keep the job.

Notice how nobody's hired him.

Those Chiefs were a mediocre offense? Pat Mahomes and Andy Reid? My God the reach.

And yes our defense tailed off BECAUSE ONCE A f**kING GAIN, OUR OFFENSE COULDN'T SUSTAIN DRIVES TO PUT THEM AWAY! Of course they tailed off, THIS WAS NOTHING f**kING NEW! It has happened in the past against the same team, at the Super Bowl... happened against the Rams in the NFC Championship game.

Edit- eitherway he was only with us for one year....I'm sure if Kyle let him have full control of how the defense is run, we would have looked better this season after the players and the coach have more experience with each other.

My issue is making a firing like that, without having a legit replacement ready. Especially when we were expected to make a Super Bowl run.

Yes they were a mediocre offense. They had an elite defense though.

Same as this year.

Wilks remains jobless, because he stinks.

Ultimately it will depend on who performs in the DC role - if Staley performs as DC next season all the PR offseason rubbish (good or bad) won't matter. Same goes conversely if Saleh gets hired but it doesn't work.

That guy must be way, way in demand right?

Since Kyle screwed up so badly, Wilks surely has his pick of jobs to choose from?
STALEY it is!! C'mon down ya anaerobic, wiggling gypsy you... Shanny knows you have it in ya. Take us to the promised land buddy

We're F'kd

Andy Reid with Pat Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Isiah Pacheco are a mediocre offense? Why in the flying f**k do I waste my time in place.

And Wilks stinks? Bet he gets a DC gig before your boy Sorensen sniffs an interview again. He might even get the Falcons gig.

Edit- yeah yeah forgot about Ulbrich.

Sorenson isn't good either. That's why he's being replaced.

This whole thing is supposed to work by merit. Do a good job. Keep the job.

AGAIN, you don't fire a coach like that unless you have someone lined up ready. Not someone you just f**king settle on because everyone else was taken...

Why do I have to explain that? Especially to you?

You're just arguing to argue I guess.

It seemed pretty clear the players weren't buying in, outside of the obvious criticism that could be leveled around his play-calling. We're not going to stick with a bad fit, in multiple ways, just because a replacement isn't a sure thing.
