Who is the Chiefs OC !?!
I think Reid kept those duties this year, he lost Peterson a couple years ago, and then Naggy this last off season.

I think the game passed Mike Shanahan by.Mike Shanahan, keep RAC
He can bring Antonio Brown with him.If mike tomlin gets fired I would immediately fire OB and make Tomlin a offer.
I would take a long look at Lincoln Riley.
He just received a raise at OU for $5M per.
Seems to bring out the best of the QBs he works with.
His rise in rank has been quite astounding.
As a young WR coach at Texas Tech, he took over play calling duty when Leach was fired ahead of the Alamo Bowl.
Tech scored 41 to beat Michigan St.
Riley then became the OC at East Carolina where he made good of the two QBs he had there for 5 years before getting the OC job at OU, turning a jittery Baker Mayfield into what he's now.
After just two years, Riley was named HC to replace the retired Stoops.
This year, without Mayfield, OU hasn't missed a beat.
I had watched a few of Riley's press conferences and interviews.
Sounds like a smart guy.
Worth to investigate further, IMO.

I wonder if there could ever be another scenario where a team could trade for a head coach.
What type of picks are you suggesting? I hope it's not a 2001 King's Random... Like when the Raiders traded Jon Gruden to Tampa Bay.I wonder if there could ever be another scenario where a team could trade for a head coach.
1000% sure.
I think the game passed Mike Shanahan by.
I'm doubting he still has the energy, IMO. He's 66 now.
He was fired after going 3-13 in 2013. And he finished in last place in the NFC East three out of four years in Washington. And he was supposed to be set up for the long haul when he drafted Robert Griffin III and Kirk Cousins in that 2012 NFL Draft.
If Shanny Sr. were 10 or 15 years younger I'd be intrigued... I would have rather seen his son have a chance to be a head coach here. Heck, I'd have even been thrilled if Gary Kubiak were still our head coach. He could do wonders with a guy like Deshaun Watson. All those bootlegs and rollouts. That West Coast Offense would be ideal given the current state of our offensive line.
I'd like to see the percentage of HC's who had success somewhere (I mean real success, won or at least led a team to a SB for example) and then went on to a second job after being fired and experienced similar success.

Bill Parcells comes to mind. Won SB's with the Giants and then went to one with the Patriots. Tony Dungy comes close. Gruden took Dungy's team to a Super Bowl and then Dungy got one with Manning in Indianapolis. Can't think of anyone else off the top of my head who hit the pinnacle of an NFL career in one place and then replicated it somewhere else. I guess Don Shula took the Colts to the SB and lost to the Jets, then went on to be a HoF coach in Miami with multiple SB's.
Now all of the HC's who won or coached in a SB were once assistants somewhere. I know we missed the boat on Shanahan (The Younger) but an untried but gifted offensive assistant would be my preference. Look for the guys who are out there doing a great job and unlike the Texans when they passed on hiring Gary Kubiak the first time actually go get the guy while he's available. The Titans came and got Vrabel from us. Young assistants are out there. Not older retreads but guys that haven't gotten a shot.
Yes, O'Brain was a coordinator and he sucks. He sucks serious sweaty balls and he sucks them all day long and he's not getting better. Warning signs were there and the hype drowned them out. I fell for it. Lots of us fell for it but worse than that the Texans fell for it. Just go look for the next Doug Pederson and try to avoid the next Jason Garrett. The next Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, or Frank Reich is out there. Go find him.
If the Steelers fire Mike Tomlin I'd love to have him! Tomlin owns the 15th-highest winning percentage (.659) in NFL history. And he's been to a few Super Bowls before winning one as a head coach.
This is one of the only guys I can think of. Or McDaniels but yuckJohn Defilipo. (SP?)
The qb running upstairs to the owner played a big part of the late failures. The qb being hurt didn't help.
Going into week 3 is a bit premature to guess who will be available. 3 names that I've supported are Lil Shanny, Pederson ... and I continue to hold a spot for Harbaugh. If he could be convinced that Cal is just there to collect his money, and Jim has Gaine's support - Harbaugh has experience, a vast coaching tree and real (and varied) NFL coaching experience. I don't see a conflict keeping Romeo and his staff - at least for a couple/few years.
Otherwise, unless someone has a particular target this is a futile exercise - there will be 10-15 coaching vacancies in 4 months. Some knee-jerk fires will top the list, as will experienced coordinators who will go from 'experienced' to 'ready'.
Tomlin curls up in a corner at the sight of Belichick.
As does Bill O’Brien.
Gary Kubiak did also but then he got to coach Peyton Manning and that changed. Kubiak won a Super Bowl as a head coach... Granted, Peyton was a shell of his former MVP caliber self by then (the Broncos defense dominated) but he was still intelligent enough to make the big plays when needed.Tomlin curls up in a corner at the sight of Belichick.
According to James Harrison
This is one of the only guys I can think of. Or McDaniels but yuck
Harbaugh is an organizational cancer.
What happened with the 49ers is an inexplicable travesty and will remain as such.
I would be more impressed if it was a red flag.This guy is available.
please no McDaniels
If this team got rid of O'Brien only to turn around and get another Patriots asshole---and THAT one at that----I'd legitimately would be done with the franchise.
So I really, really hope not.
So who do you propose to replace OB and restore DW4's greatness?
Anyone.
You’re free right?
I could be stoned out of my mind, not knowing the difference between a football and a pumpkin, and make better play calls. And you know why? Because I'd HAVE A ******* OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR TO MAKE THE CALLS.
No Patriots castoffs.
There is precedent for hiring a long retired head coach and winning it all. Dick Vermeil.Try to lure 61-year-old Bill Cowher away from CBS. A decade ago I'd have drooled over Jimmy Johnson but he's already too old at 75.
Hey, the Raiders lured 55-year-old Jon Gruden away from ESPN. All it takes is throwing a large amount of money at them to tempt them.
I either want a legend head coach that coached his teams to multiple Super Bowls, winning at least one Super Bowl, or I want a young and energetic college guy. But one that is smarter than Bill O'Brien.
Just give me a Super Bowl winning head coach and I'm happy.
Hell, I'd even be okay if Tony Dungy wanted to get back into coaching.
