Yeah, that worked out so well with Romeo. :doh!:

Can someone explain this?

FYP

Look at it this way:

A guy like Bill Cowher isn't going to take a job where he won't have a franchise QB.

The only thing that comes close to having an already-entrenched franchise QB is having the #1 overall pick...

It was rumored that the extension would have had an easy buyout for option for Clark which is why Pioli didn't sign it.

You would think at the very least a PR guy would get canned, giving all this bad press with soc and everything.

You want them to fire the Bible-Thumping Ginger already?

like i said, we just disagree

HC
QB
Speed WR
Free safety

4 quality upgrades and we are a legit playoff level team

HC - i dunno
QB - Geno Smith
Speed WR - Tavon Austin? Wallace?
Free safety - Draft/Free Agent

all 4 can be had in 1 offseason and next year the team will look/feel completely different.

now i also want a more aggressive schemes but i would hope that those come with the new HC.

Pioli doesn't hire outside of his immediate tree. And none of those guys run aggressive schemes.

So if you think Pioli deserves another chance, you really don't want change at the HC or coordinator positions...

THIS.
Clark's not going to fire people mid-season just to make the fanbase feel justified. It's important that ownership show itself to be consistent and not reactionary in order to be an attractive landing spot for the best candidates, so he'll wait till the end of the season.

Pioli has had chances at all that you have listed. That is why we are carrying pitchforks.

3rd time is a charm?

I was in the camp that thought the Pioli bashing was over the top. I mean, not all of his picks and FA pickups were bad. People tend to exaggerate that stuff. But when you consider that he has really screwed this franchise by forcing his HCs to stick with Cassel and not bring in real competition, it gets harder to support the notion that we'll be okay with Pioli. Then you have to consider his Gestapo actions toward SOC and other things and the Pioli image has degraded quite a bit. The guy has failed miserably. IMO, he's got some mental issues. Keeping him at GM would only sink this franchise even further into oblivion.

You really think we're a quality playoff team trotting Jalil Brown out at RCB and having no DEs who can creat pressure from our base front? You also think that we don't need an ILB who can cover, which would allow Eric to play deep more often than in the box as a LB? You think that we really just need 1 wr? Because Breaston is probably gone, Bowe is probably gone, your receiving corp is going to be Baldwin (possibe bust) DMC, Wylie,Newsome, and Hemmingway. That isn't a playoff WR group, that is Jaguarsesque.

you could be right

If that really is the case then it's up to Clark Hunt to either force the issue or fire Pioli.

We will probably never know for certain.

Probably true.

In year 4 of a new GM the team should be turned around and should be a contender (if they haven't already). KC is 1-10 and is getting worse. There is no injury excuse this year. Pioli has not improved the team. The only impact players are from Herm 5+ years ago.

Pioli is going to leave the team in shambles.
