Sam Mellinger of the KC Star unearthed this the other day (and I think someone else shared it in the FanShots) but this is too good not to share again.
Your Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator, Brian Daboll, likely wouldn't do very well on the defensive line.

Mack & Thomas
Best LG & C tandem in the league. Mangini manhandled that draft they took Mack
KansasCityShuffle - February 8, 2012
...thought Mack was a C.
I don’t care what spot he plays, though…I wish he was here.
go_saleaumua - February 8, 2012
Yeah, just a mix-up in his letters
Mack is the C
Thomas is LT
and it likely is the best tandem of those two spots in the league.

OT: Anyone caught any tape of the ISU left tackle, Osemele?
If we go to a man/zone hybrid, like most teams that run an Erhardt pro-style system, he’d be unbefuckinglievable at RT or even LG. (Me, I’d put his beastly ass at T and watch our right side just maul people).
I also heart DeCastro…
I just want to see some really GOOD beef brought in, along with a capable line coach.
go_saleaumua - February 8, 2012
I know jack-bumblefuuuu about OL in this draft
But that sounds interesting for sure.
Osemele looks to have a pretty high grade – here’s the CBS report on him
They have him ranked as the #4 LT in the draft… one fella has him going to the Steelers at 24. Wow.
I was hoping he would be a mid-round pick but it sounds like he might be off the board early.
Ochophosphate - February 8, 2012
He's a talent with a nasty streak, but he needs someone to coach him.
Muir would have been a good one; hopefully we can find an OL coach with an attitude who is willing to teach technique.
Some of these jokers on the line fancy themselves “scheme” guys instead of technique coaches. Bull. If you can’t teach some 6’4", 300-lb guy to get his ass low, fire up and out, and get his hands under another man’s pads while keeping his feet moving…you don’t need to be coaching football. Or at least, not coaching the line.
go_saleaumua - February 8, 2012
I like the intensity.
KCMizzou - February 8, 2012
^^^This
chai1836 - February 8, 2012
He would be a bust on the DL anyway
anyone can clearly see his natural position is LG.
chiefsandcigars - February 8, 2012
Hell with that, put him at wideout next to Branden Albert.
With Albert’s tight route-running and butter soft hands, we could send Coach Daboll on deep routes and just dismantle people.
go_saleaumua - February 8, 2012
Well, one thing is for sure
he’s a little more “lively” than Muir.
Chiefs447 - February 8, 2012
There are leaves in my yard more lively than Muir.
chiefsandcigars - February 8, 2012
Ha, true that
Chiefs447 - February 8, 2012
Someone make this green.
go_saleaumua - February 8, 2012
Done!
Ochophosphate - February 8, 2012
Well
I have it on good authority that the Chiefs had a staffer in the box with Muir every game last season with 9-1-1 already programmed into their cell phone just in case he finally kicked the bucket.
ict_chief - February 8, 2012
911 is already programmed into cell phones
just hold down the #9 key for 3 seconds…the more you know :)
chai1836 - February 8, 2012
And they will call it with or without a sim-card/paid service
Cell-reception is, of course, a necesity.
joplin chiefs fan - February 8, 2012
Atleast he wasn't sleeping in the press box!
radtech04 - February 8, 2012
Ok, call me slow, but I finally (just) put two and two together
check this one out.

I wonder if Pioli would allow someone to yell at the golden boy like that.
We just lost one hot head, I’m not sure I want to pick up another.
Full Metal Jayhawk - February 8, 2012
I see a big difference between a hothead at HC
And one as OC.
And from what I’ve seen, Cassel’s at his best when pissed off.
MNchiefsfan - February 8, 2012
That's exactly right.
We could definitely use someone who is going to ride Cassel’s ass when he isn’t performing. We do a great job on here, but except for the one time Haley jumped him it hasn’t happened. I’m all for an OC who can light a fire in some of our young guys.
ict_chief - February 8, 2012
But would Piloi allow Brian to light up on Matt?
He’s been protected since he was brought here.
Full Metal Jayhawk - February 8, 2012
Someone needs to do something. If lighting him up achieves that goal, I'm for it.
Also…if starting Orton (or anyone else) at QB lights up our offense, I’m for it.
go_saleaumua - February 8, 2012
Didn't stop Haley or anyone else
I would use the following basic principles:
1. Are you lighting him up for no reason? Just being a jerk? – maybe you should tone it down
2. Are you lighting him up because he’s sucking hind-tit out there? – by all means, light away.
I really don’t know how Matt’s been protected other than coaches/players not speaking negatively about him… which is basically an across the board policy. I don’t hear anything negative said publicly about any of our players, it’s not exclusive to Matt.
Ochophosphate - February 8, 2012
I keep hearing that Albert sucks and needs to be moved to his natural position (slot reciever, if you ask me).
But that might not be anyone from the Chiefs per se…
I think I heard it in a pizza joint.
go_saleaumua - February 8, 2012
Ha! Albert in the slot FTW!
can’t get a jam on him so he can pick up some steam… bash the defender in the buffer and get his pudgy mitts on the ball…. rumble rumble for at least 5-7 yards per play.
You could probably run some wicked “pick” plays with him too – “Honest ref, it wasn’t a pick, the defender just couldn’t get around Albert. He wasn’t doing anything but running his pattern.”
I bet the WR bubble screen would look better if he were in the slot plowing a path.
Ochophosphate - February 8, 2012
In all seriousness, we could use him as a tackle-eligible and get away with it.
For being a college guard, he has some wicked athleticism.
go_saleaumua - February 8, 2012
I personally would design some slot WR end arounds and reverses for him.
The sheer speed and acceleration, the moves to juke the contain man and find the edge, and the runners vision to cut it back and find a hole when need be would make him unstoppable on such plays.
Sudden - February 8, 2012
This has been kicked around here for a while
Most either think McCoy is a crybaby or Daboll is too intense. It could be a mix of both (likely).
There is a rumor going around (for years) that Texas players are cottled by Mack Brown and have difficulty adjusting to the NFL where they don’t get special treatment. Colt spent years prior to that being coached by his dad (remember the coach’s son on your team growing up?). Colt also credits the Browns with “toughening him up” – so maybe there was a point to all of this “tough treatment”.
We also hear McCoy whining about not only Daboll, but also about Mangini and how he didn’t want to play him. Yet, I don’t hear many or any other former players coming out and complaining about Mangini or Daboll… and in some cases it’s completely the opposite.
In the end – sure, Daboll was probably harsh on the rookie. On the other hand, I think this has been blown way out of proportion in relation to Daboll’s impact on our team going forward.
Ochophosphate - February 8, 2012
Exactly. And the thing to remember: The whole story came from McCoy's book.
Has it been verified? Not that I’ve seen, really. If anyone else has a link where a different Brown or ex-Brown coach can back the story up, I’ll buy it AS WRITTEN.
Otherwise…as I’ve said 100 times, it’s like asking your newly divorced buddy how life was with his ex. Or asking her the same question.
Objectivity? Nope. lol
go_saleaumua - February 8, 2012
Yeah, I think that story is bunk.
Plus even if it is true. All coaches go through a maturation process just like players do. He is older and wiser and has been an OC for awhile now. I think McCoy has always been a little soft mentally. If he was at Texas Tech instead of Texas he probably would have gotten locked in a utility shed with Craig James boy.
ict_chief - February 8, 2012
Press 5 when watching the video.
Fricking hilarious.
Tomahawk29 - February 8, 2012
Aw man...
My gut. That is some funny shit.
Tomahawk29 - February 8, 2012
Love his energy!
Pacific Chief - February 8, 2012
Things look like they were about to get hot and steamy right as the video fades out :/
jonnyu - February 8, 2012
Pro youtube tip.
Hit “5” over and over again. Enjoy.
