Good news: It appears Clark is leading the search for the next HC, which shows diminished power/role for Fat Scott.

Bad news: Fat Scott still has a role of any type with the Chiefs and hasn't been fired.

The "I" stood out to me...

That lends credence to the reports that Clark is giving Pioli a "last chance" to save his job ... such as by attracting a big-name coach.

He wants Pioli to prove that the Manning debacle was an anomaly. That Pioli CAN attract big-name people to work for/with him.

Just my speculation.

The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Monday that Romeo Crennel has been relieved of his duties as head coach.

Crennel, 65, was named Kansas City’s 12th head coach in franchise history on Jan. 9, 2012. He compiled a 2-14 regular season record in 2012 and finished the 2011 season 2-1 as the club’s interim head coach.

"I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for Romeo, both personally and professionally,” Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said. “He is an accomplished coach, a man of great character and he helped guide our football team through some extremely challenging circumstances this season.

“However, I am embarrassed by the poor product we gave our fans this season, and I believe we have no choice but to move the franchise in a different direction. I will immediately begin the search for the next head coach of the Chiefs. The entire football operation will remain under review, and there may be additional changes to come. No final determination has been made at this point on the future of General Manager Scott Pioli.

“Finally, I want to personally apologize to our fans for our performance this season. We are blessed to play for some of the best and most passionate fans in the National Football League and they deserve better than what we gave them this season. I want our fans to know that I will do everything I can to provide them with a dramatically better team – both next season and in the seasons to come – and our entire organization appreciates their support.”

This is day 1. Prove it. You can start off by firing Scott Pioli. Now.

Talking about this on 610 now

We're getting a powerhouse GM/HC I feel it. Just a hunch. Pioli is gone.

and kick them in the face too :D

It is rather odd that he even mentioned Pioli like that

Not nearly as much as just ****ING FIRING that worthless **** would have!

Yep.

I was also thinking that. It didn't sound like a vote of confidence at all. At this point you have to wonder if money is the only thing keeping Clark from firing Piloi and he is trying to figure that part out first.

Talk is cheap, Clark.

thought we were headed to LA for a second...
