Arrowhead Pride

Chief Willie Wildcat - February 1, 2012 reply

Good comparison.

I think they went to college together.

TwelfthMan - February 1, 2012 reply

The answer

is on tape somewhere at 1 Arrowhead.

NJ Chiefs Fan - February 1, 2012 reply

I wonder why RAC once referred to him as

“Billy Favre”

Chiefs i.e. Pioli are trying to force him into retirement

Obviously Muir doesn’t want to retire.

Nothing gets leaked from Arrowhead without a purpose, and that purpose is to try and force him into retirement.

If they don’t want him back, just fire him, stop playing games and jerking the guy around

GracieKal - February 1, 2012 reply

Just stop paying him, it will clear up on it's own

Muir even looks a bit like an old Milton

EricBerryYoYouScary - February 1, 2012 reply

Fix the glitch

Ochophosphate - February 1, 2012 reply

Ok...

I guess I’ll just set the building on fire…

Holy Shit

I just laughed so hard I may have pood a little bit.

That may be the highest compliment I've ever received

Thank you

Things are bad when the best compliment you've received involves feces.

TRSChief - February 1, 2012 reply

See what I mean

you took my stapler...

Pacific Chief - February 1, 2012 reply

this is probably closest to the truth imo

LHO - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

yup

because its ALWAYS Piolis fault

slackator - February 1, 2012 reply

Actually, by definition of the job, it is ALWAYS Pioli's fault

Even if he had nothing to do with it personally.

Chief Willie Wildcat - February 1, 2012 reply

@adamteicher

Bill Muir, last year’s offensive coordinator for the #Chiefs, has told the team he’s retiring. Story to come at http://kansascity.com

Thanks, Willie.

So now we need an OC, a OL coach, a WR coach, a DC, and a high up draft guru

Um somebody start getting some hiring done fast!

ChiefMizzou09 - February 1, 2012 reply

Probably don't need a DC

per se unless Crennel adds that to someone’s title as he’s calling the plays.

golfbard - February 1, 2012 reply

Luckily we have a GM that coaches are just lining up to work for

HIV 2 Elway - February 1, 2012 reply

Phew!

Luckily

don't forget a #1 WR or #2 CB

Pioli’s not going to be able to sign one of them if he hasn’t to this point. He’ll franchise one and lose the other

That's completely false

Why would the player sign an offer without at least seeing what another team is willing to pay? They have all the leverage in the world right now and aren’t going to do anything until they need to.

excidium - February 1, 2012 reply

then we are in agreement. Pioli could have locked up Carr last season or during this season like Flowers, Hali, etc

Carr’s been getting one year tenders, why would he sign here now that he’s set to be a FA? Pioli will have to overpay the market since he didn’t sign him long-term before this point

Tamba Hali.

I don't agree at all

I’m saying it’s too early to tell and I don’t think we’re to the point where we can say we’re losing either yet.

excidium - February 1, 2012 reply

maybe, but if the dollars are the same in KC and say Detroit where Carr's from or a SB contender

I don’t think he’ll pick the Chiefs

Tamba Hali was tagged and didn't get resigned until just before the start of the season.

Could go the same way with Carr. I just don’t see them letting Carr hit the market.

Tomahawk29 - February 1, 2012 reply

This is what happens when you disturb his hibernation.

Let the poor man sleep!

Atlanta just fired OL coach Paul Boudreau

wonder if he’s a target. He’s a veteran coach who has been around for a long time.

golfbard - February 1, 2012 reply

He got let go because they did a poor job of protecting Matt Cassel....errr Ryan

And Dmitroff is POSITIVE that Cassel…errr Ryan isn’t the problem.

Well played.

FREE MUIR!

ArrowDread - February 1, 2012 reply

More...

Former Chiefs offensive coordinator Bill Muir has retired.
Muir was informed he wouldn’t return as new coach Romeo Crennel’s coordinator, and was apparently unwilling to accept the demotion to offensive line coach. Muir, 69, was a coach since 1968, and in the NFL since 1978. He spent 28 years as an NFL line coach, teaching a power-blocking scheme on the front five.

Source is Shefter.

wow ... after the quotes from him last week

isn’t it nice that there’s such CLEAR communications over at one Arrowhead Drive

upamtn - February 1, 2012 reply

I smell a Bruce Arians legnth retirement?

Where does Muir go next?

Wish him luck in his retirement

He did a good job with the O-Line in ‘10. I’ll give him that.

And my bill for the therapy I have to undergo for watching the offense this season.

KansasCityShuffle - February 1, 2012 reply

Not strange

Muirs just senile and has forgotten that hes already filed the necessary paperwork.

Replace “Muir” with “Favre” and could you imagine the shitstorm this would be

slackator - February 1, 2012 reply

I felt

they built a good coaching staff around Haley to give him a chance to succeed. So far, I can’t say the same for Romeo. Seems a lot of people exiting, not a lot entering 1 Arrowhead Dr

Yeah.

They’ll really miss Muir’s dynamic playcalling, and Hoffman’s great blocking schemes.

You forgot.

All those things were Crennel’s fault for not doing something about it.

KansasCityShuffle - February 1, 2012 reply

Muir > Haley

Haley is a fraud of an offensive coordinator. Plain & simple.

I hope he gets the job in Pitt

I want to see what kind of OC he really is. And I’d like to see James Harrison come after him on the sidelines leading with his helmet.

I was going to debate this....

But after seeing “plain and simple” you’ve given me no room to work with. Airtight.

Nuff said.

Eastcoastransplant - February 1, 2012 reply

theres no way around that......

KCinAZ - February 1, 2012 reply

You could work with a loophole.

Respond with a counter argument and end it with both “Period!” and “NUFF SAID!”

Coming back against that is like trying to divide by zero.

TRSChief - February 1, 2012 reply

Only if you said that

Muir suxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hrm. Needs moar capslock.

TRSChief - February 1, 2012 reply

Well the limit goes to 0

So therefore, divide by 0 and u get an number of epic proportions. Therefore, by that logic, there is an infinite number of responses.

NJChieffan16 - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

oh, I forgot something

This work for you cuzz, "Muir SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!"

Eastcoastransplant - February 1, 2012 reply

haley called the plays not muir

niageriannit1 - February 1, 2012 reply

except for when Muir did

slackator - February 1, 2012 reply

Dante Scarnecchia, oline coach for Pats as new OC

Pioli needs more yes men

So much for those hard hitting Bob Gretz questions

"Nobody talked to me," Muir said Tuesday afternoon at the South squad’s practice session for the Senior Bowl.
"I’m planning to coach, until somebody tells me differently."
Muir was reticent to say much more about the situation with Romeo Crennel’s coaching staff. He did acknowledge that he’s been told he will not be the offensive coordinator, but Crennel would like him to stay and coach the offensive line.
"It’s just of those things," said Muir, who has 47 years in coaching and 34 seasons in the NFL. "You go on every day and wait for them to tell you how we are going to move forward or if we are separating. It happens a lot in football."
For the record coach, you want to continue to coach? "Yes" Muir said.
Do you want to stay with the Chiefs as offensive line coach? "Yes."

I was kind of looking forward to Bill Muir coaching the line again, oh well. Quick somebody get Will Shields on the phone.

Funny.

So if Muir retires at his age, and his coaching gigs are done for good

Think he’ll spill the beans about 1 Arrowhead Dr?

Geez, whoever the new oline coach is...

…please give them more talent to work with.

Pacific Chief - February 1, 2012 reply

Albert, Asamoah, Hudson and Lilja have some talent

I wonder if they will explore moving Ryan Lilja back to RG.

A new line coach could mean some shifting, what if we bring in a coach that is on the Albert “Natural Postion” committee each draft season?

Lots of good story lines this offseason.

And it gets more interesting.

@adamteicher
Zorn has told people he may resign if not promoted to offensive coordinator

Hahahaha

The wheels are quickly falling off this bus.

falling off?

They were still on?

Touche

are we on the rims yet

niageriannit1 - February 1, 2012 reply

Hmmm, intradesting. Whole lotta gnus today.

severn58 - February 1, 2012 reply

New 2012 strategy

Pay Carr and Bowe and stick with Cassel. Tank season because this is turning into a gong show. Clean house. And with the first pick of the 2013 draft….QOTF. Its almost worth it at this point.

Pioli won't sink his ship this year. I agree on needing to clean house though

I’d argue that if we’re looking to clean house and draft QBOTF #1 next year that Bowe should be franchised and traded for draft picks

Eastcoastransplant - February 1, 2012 reply

yeah in 83 we thought we had the the QOTF in todd blackledge, thats the last time we have drafted a qb in the first rd

niageriannit1 - February 1, 2012 reply

And that was 29 years ago.

Yes considering whom we could have gotten instead it’s tragic. But b/c it didn’t work one time does not mean we should forever give up on drafting a QB.

Well Jim... Don't let Palko hit you in the ass with a soft throw on your way out.

This team doesn’t need to bow to the demands of Jim Zorn. It needs a fresh start on offense.

Starting to think it needs a fresh start on everything

Except for Crennel, Hali, Houston, TJax, DJ, Flowers, Carr, Berry, Lewis, Bowe, Albert, Asamoah, Hudson, Charles, Baldwin and Moeaki.

Don't forget Breaston, Colquitt, Succop... Emmitt Thomas

and so many others.

Meh

Kickers, 3rd WRs and DB coaches are a dime a dozen.

So you dump them just to dump them?

Nope

Just not including them in my core group of players to build around if the whole thing gets blown up after next season.

K

Next season? So the franchise is blowing up again?

Hooray for the next 6 year plan!

NJChieffan16 - February 1, 2012 via mobile reply

No, it's not.

well, you could say it's been a 40 year plan to this point, if the team's off course already, time to correct it before it ends up in England

Core group of non-negotiable core players*

I love reading all this conspiracy talk about "1 Arrowhead Drive"

This is probably what’s going on. The employees got used to the same bosses/way of life for what…20 years? A new guy comes in and shakes things up…becomes more strict, more detail oriented.

Employees don’t like the change.
Emp A to Emp B: Man things are getting really strict around here, did you hear about that candy wrapper story? It’s almost like he had cameras on it.
Emp B to Emp C: Pioli knew I didn’t hand in a report on time… it’s like he’s watching me or something.
Emp C to media: Uhhh I keep hearing our phones are bugged. (even though I have no proof of this, I’m going to spin it because Pioli doesn’t talk to the media and I can get away with it)
Media: Uses this as a “source”. and THAT’S how a conspiracy is born.

Brad-KC - February 1, 2012 reply

He's retiring as O coordinator

But staying as line coach…that answers all the reports.

tlback20 - February 1, 2012 reply

hit the?

I thought he was retiring completely.

Reports say he was offered the O-line coaching job and he turned it down.

golfbard - February 1, 2012 reply

Yep.

He’s gone.
