Who were the hot candidates last season that were head and shoulders better tha Romeo? Realistically speaking they probably would have sucked with Bill Walsh coaching them.

i'm not so sure it has to be a 'hot' candidate...but i thought romeo was just an 'eh, he's here, let him try' kind of deal. their qb's suck, so true. i think they take the 'he's here, so let him try' line with all their players, not just the coach! hopefully reid can improve the situation there, it's a godawful mess.

KC fans better HOPE that Reid doesn't bring in Marty to his staff. They should just go separate ways, together they've been stale for years.

Romeo was a defensive minded coach for a defensive suited team. They also played alright in the 3 games he coached after they axed Haley. So I guess it made sense, plus Romeo probably didn't make what Reid's gonna get. The only guy who comes to mind who was available (besides Gruden & Cowher) was Jeff Fisher and the Rams gobbled him up pretty quickly. Alot more sexier/bigger names are out there this year. You would think that Reid is at least a step in the right direction.

You would think that they are so bad, that Reid will have a pass for a few years, while he re-shapes the team/organization. Like I said, they have no-where to go but up.

i'm sure he told them something along the lines of what shanahan told dan snyder-it's a 5 year project. don't expect miracles, or a quick fix.
and yeah, defensive minded is ok...but look at rex ryan, lovie, and romeo-where did it get them? a dc becoming a head coach needs to do one thing well-hire a great oc!!
