Nix is a "Football GM"
Chan came recommend by some of the best in the business. Cowher, Polian, and even Jerry Jones said he handle the firing wrong. These guys don't give out opinions if they don't think it will work. In my business if you don't want or can't take on the job, you recommend the best person or company for the job, because that becomes a reflection of your company. So KC couldn't market him, from the looks of thier record and offensive production, they should have given him the HC job.
You don't go for the marketing end in this business unless you are worried about wins. Like the TO deal sold tickets, but everyone really knew he wasn't goiong to be productive with the QB's on thier backs.
I think this will play out like the Marv Levy hiring! The only difference is Chan has won on each level and in each position OC and HC.
So we make a "Football decisions" instead of a marketing decision and everyone hates it.
I know one thing we will have a wining season next year and 2012 we will be in the AFC CHANpionship Game.
