There are a lot of things that happen … it’s the chemistry of the key people, things that happen beyond your control, but in the end, he has good football judgment, and I hope he does well except against the New England Patriots.”
Edwards is the anti-Bill Belichick.
Edwards is Barack Obama, a politician concerned with media and public perception. Belichick is Jack Bauer, a ruthless mercenary who deals with everyone on a need-to-know basis. Edwards’ main concern is his own survival. Belichick’s lone concern is the completion of the mission.
Found this in a Jason Whitlock column on the KC Star site.
Though he probably was demeaning Belichick, I actually took it as a compliment. Guess BB is my kind of person......
The flipside here could mean that BB will be with us for years to come.
Perhaps McDaniels and Pioli would not have left if they knew BB was going to retire soon.
I honestly think that Pioli didn't go elsewhere in previous years or even to Cleveland this year because he was looking for something more from ownership. In hearing him speak today about the Patriots organization I believe he was looking for a solid family organization and not just a straight business/corporate type ownership. KC was a unique opportunity in that regard. Add in the rabid fans and you have a great situation.
Once he's branded with the "KC" in the correct manner (see diagram below), it's a done deal.maybe he can come back later? or is this final?
