Childress or Greg Olson

Re: Childress or Greg Olson

If it does end up being Childress, it'll be interesting to see if the next step is acquiring Foles.

Re: Childress or Greg Olson

When Childress actually runs an offense, as opposed to holding Andy Reid's water bottle...his only success was based on having Brett Favre and AP in the same backfield.

If Andy Reid is coming with him, I could see it..but since he isn't...

He's in KC right now because he goes way back with Andy Reid, back to their NE Arizona St. Tech days.

Thank you for getting out what I tried and failed to do in post #10.

To me Foles is a good bridge/backup QB if we elect to take someone like Mahomes in Round 2 to develop with Cardale. I'd sign him to a two year deal.

So who do you think they should bring in?

Re: Childress or Greg Olson

I want experience and the wide scheme/spread. Single back, multiple option, primary short and intermediate routes. If he will run that fine.

That's Kansas City's entire offense.

McCoy or bringing back Lynn were my first choices.

Since we're talking about lateral moves..

Tom Clements-GB;
Rob Chudzinski- Ind;
Ken Whisenhunt-LA Bolts.

Clements is the solid, sane choice.
Chudzinski has shown the ability to run either a run based offense (Caronlina) or a passed based offense (IND). And even though Carolina was a run based offense, Newton still threw for 400 yards. And damn..the guy had a top 10 offense with Derek Anderson.
Whisenhunt is a better OC than HC.

for the up and comer, off the grid choice, Sonny Crombie, TCU. Forget this past year, they lost nearly everyone on offense, either through leaving school or injury.

But if people want a fast paced, passing offense, he'll bring it. In his 1st year at TCU (2014), he improved their PPG by 20.

Re: Childress or Greg Olson

Brad Childress was head coach in Minnesota from 2006 to 2010. Enough of a trial period?

2006: 6 - 10; #23 in total offense

2007: 8 - 8; #13 in total offense

2008: 10 - 6; #17 in total offense

2009: 12 - 4; #5 in total offense

2010: 6 - 10; #23 in total offense

Ok. Maybe I am wrong. I would be willing to give the guy a chance (not that my opinion matters). A lot of his success came from having Brett Favre in 2009 - 2010. But not all. I remember the Vikings fans giving him a hassle.

How bad of a hassle?

they actually gave him an Urban Dictionary entry..

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Brad%20Childress

Brad Childress


Cluelessly inept football coach who cannot accept critisism in any form. Usually typified by arrogant snippets and lack of original thought.


The game, season, and franchise were lost due to the Brad Childress like behavior of the coach.

Re: Childress or Greg Olson

I mentioned Childress before, but I don't really much like how this is going. They're not going to fish for a young guy, imho.

Wouldn't those be lateral moves for each of those guys?

Re: Childress or Greg Olson

I know waiting is a gamble, and some of these teams are in the playoffs, but why not look at some of the top offenses and hire a bright up and comer position coach? Atlanta, Dallas, Pittsburgh, NO, GB, etc. Heck, how about trying to steal someone away from NE? Why Brad Childress or/and anybody that's been in Jax? 🤢
