Nah. I got crazy belief in the guy and have completely ignored all the other disguised "dammit Pioli" BS roaming around this board.

I'm not going to knock on the guy for a long long time, and hope I never have to, but I'd love a logical explanation on this one....

I mean, it's lousy ass Gunther, for Christ's sakes...

On another note _____________

Is Detroit turning into the NFL's Siberia or what ? Crappy coaches, assistants, players, and front office people all seem to literally get exiled to that hell hole. WTF ?

It's pretty simple what's going on. Refusing to let Gun look for another job is just Pioli getting payback against Gunther for the defense Gun left him.

Source: Lions were refused permission to talk to Gunther Cunningham

MOBILE, Ala. -- According to a league source, the Lions were initially refused permission to talk to Kansas City defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham about taking the same position with Detroit.

The Chiefs might be in a transition period with new general manager Scott Pioli deciding the fate of head coach Herm Edwards. According to the source, the Lions are waiting to see if the Chiefs will eventually grant Cunningham permission to talk to the Lions.

Lions head coach Jim Schwartz, who said he was going to take his time in putting together a staff, coached for three years with Cunningham when they were both with the Tennessee Titans. Schwartz has been busy at the Senior Bowl interviewing candidates for coordinator and assistant coaching jobs but, so far, no job has been filled.

Schwartz is expected to return to Detroit Wednesday evening and that's when he's expected to also interview many members of the Lions' current staff. Those Detroit coaches, who are all at the Senior Bowl, have been granted permission to seek jobs with other teams, but Schwartz reserves the right to refuse any possible deal and keep that coach with the Lions.

"Everything's just kind of up in the air,'' said one of Detroit's assistants.

"I'm optimistic and I'd like to stay in Detroit. We'll see what happens,'' said another assistant.

Pioli is clearly a failure as a GM.

If I continue to be a Chiefs fan....and if the Pioli tenure is anything like the last 20 years....I'm going into Pearl farming.

Maybe we can get a couple picks for Goontur. I'll pick my nose. You can pick whatever you like.

Refused permission?

WTF, Pioli should have rented a U-Haul and personally driven Gun to Detroit.

i want to love the chiefs, but they make is very hard to do....

please for all that is holy can these losers, these clowns, these frauds......

I don't think this is that big a deal. I think they let Priefer go because he was going to be fired even if Herm stays. But they're probably not giving permission to the retained coaches to interview until Herm is officially canned. I still really expect that to happen tomorrow.

QFT.

I've tried to explain this in another thread.
