Source: Pioli, Schwartz 'despise each other'
In response to a suggestion in some circles that new Chiefs G.M. Scott Pioli might pursue Titans defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz to become the new head coach of the team, a league source tells us that it will not be happening. Per the source, Pioli and Schwartz "despise each other." Though Schwartz looks to be the favorite for the Lions job, his camp could be floating the possibility of Kansas City hiring Schwartz in order to squeeze Detroit into hiring him prematurely and/or giving him a better deal. That said, it's our understanding that the Chiefs are not and will not be an option for him.

We are about to watch another Belichick disciple go down in flames upon leaving the womb. Two more, actually.

The Mighty Chiefs will rise again, the Lombardi trophy has been on loan to the rest of the league for far too long...it's coming home to KC where it rightly belongs.

Since all the Belichick disciples are going down in flames, perhaps he didn't teach them well enough.

Perhaps the problem with the Belichick disciples is that he hasn't taught them well enough, not that they are leaving. The greatest head coaches, like Bill Walsh, lost assistants all the time who went on to be successful.

That is not always the case. Lombardi, one of the best coaches ever, never had any assisants that went on to become successful head coaches.

Yet at the same time coaches like Lombardi never had any assistant move on to become successful head coaches.

You have to wonder if McDaniels and Pioli will fare any better than Crennel and Mangini? I think that McDaniels has a good chance with an owner like Denver has and I also think that Pioli will be successful as well. The downside for him is, he'll be getting into the coaching search a little late, if he doesn't retain Herm and he also won't have a lot of time before the NFL draft comes up. Not an ideal scenario, but that's the way it goes.
The big question really, is whether or not Mangini will be successful in Cleveland or not. This will tell the tale - was he prematurely fired from the Jerks or did it accurately depict what he is all about? Mr. Learner doesn't seem like a football guru from here, so it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Another thing that appears goofy from afar is Brad Seely leaving New England for the same position in Cleveland. When you are in a pretty secure setting, why would you hitch your horse up to a cart with an unknown future? There's something more that meets the eye, here. Possibly the good Mr. Seely was informed that he should be looking elsewhere? Again, that's an unknown and only subject to opinion.
It's been an interesting offseason and it's only beginning as the playoffs are still ongoing.

As far as "floating the possibility" of a Kansas City hire, it won't work. One of the Lions problems has been that they take their good old time in decisions, including hiring decisions. By that time, all the choice candidates are committed and the Lions are left with the dregs.
If the Lions haven't panicked after a third of a century of losing, they are not going to panic now.

My definition of a good coach has nothing to do with how well he teaches his disciples.
Actually it is better not to show them all your tricks because when they walk out the door they are competition. (I think like Belichick, I just know it)

You're wrong, Belichick doesn't think... he already knows...

Kinda like when when my sons all of a sudden were way bigger than me, I told them " I might have showed you everything you know about fighting, but I didn't show you everything I know about fighting" Doesn't matter though, they could both kick my butt!

Actually, it's not the Belichick tree. He, Crennel and Coughlin are all from the Parcells tree (NYG). It's when they branch out from the Giants, that the limbs begin to die off. And as I recall, Belichick, like Crennel, sucked in Cleveland (well, maybe's its the town). It wasn't until he started cheating that he became a "genius." I've seen him when he's unprepared (running around on the sidelines in that Indy game this season) and he's no genius. He won't win another superbowl as a head coach.
BTW, as to Lombardi, he and Landry were both from the Jim Lee Howell tree. Again, the roots begin with the NYG!
