SOC says Clark slammed Pioli
Latest email I got is that Clark isn't ****ing around, which is obvious from interviews. I've been out most of the day, but the email came in before Clark went on the air.
The directive is no one from the football operations side is to speak until their final notice has been given either with a termination or a return. Clark is trying to force Pioli's hand and have him quit. Clark had a heated discussion with Scott this morning according to this email. Clark told him he won't have any say in this head coach because "this head coach will be here longer than you will". Then there's this piece of info. Clark talked with Peyton Manning at length Sunday night. He wanted to know why the Chiefs weren't considered and everything Peyton said pointed the finger squarely on Pioli. Said Pioli's rep across the league is terrible. His inability to foster a "team" environment instead of one ruled like a dictator was huge too. This really pissed Clark off. I said in a previous post that the loss could have triggered all of this, but it's apparent the PM discussion could have as well. I'm completely shocked to say the least. Everything, and I mean everything, I've been told paints Clark as someone with a school boy crush on Pioli. Clark wants to make a splash. He also wants to save the money from just firing Pioli. With all the lawsuits that former employees have pending against the Chiefs that list Pioli, Clark may have a case to fire him with definite cause. Source said that Clark changed overnight toward Pioli. Take it for what it's worth. |
So Clark Hunt calling Peyton Manning isn't against league rules?
|
It's in the Hunt thread.

Q
|
I'd be shocked if he talked to Peyton Manning last night. I'm sure Clark knew why Peyton didn't visit KC way back in March.

he probably saw him 100 times in person yesterday. Surely conversation is conversation |
I'd keep Pioli around in a diminished role... stairwell duty. It fits his talent evaluation expertise.
|
Constructive discharge.
|
Bunch of words not on paper, who cares?
Sports is a results business, Clark. I'm seeing no results. |
RePete Thread!
|
Pioli will be gone before week's end.
|
Actually if Clark attended the Denver game last night he could have talked to Peyton.

Oh yea, he doesn't care, I forgot. |

Clark was in Denver last night
|
Peyton and Clark talked while Clark was getting Peyton's autograph.

CLARK: "You're not acting like a grown up."
SCOTT: "AM TOO! AM TOO!" |
I'm inclined to call bullshit on all this, "Clark hates Pioli, is taking away all his power, forcing him to quit" crap. Likely Clark and Pioli had this worked out months ago. Fire Romeo and leak out info like this to appease the angry part of the fanbase and media. Likely nothing will change as far as who does what (Pioli is still in charge) and as soon as the team starts winning again people will be OK with whatever.
|
Clark knows at least Chip Kelly would properly know how to use Matt Cassel. That would let our 1st pick be wide open.

I hear you. i almost forgot.

If Hunt didn't know why PM didn't want to come until last night then Hunt is a ****ing dumb idiot.
|
He knew we had Matt Cassel.

I'm guessing he did sign an extension w/Pioli in the summer and Clark's lawyers are still trying to figure out how to get rid of him while saving $.
|
If a division rival's quarterback says we should get rid of our GM, shouldn't we be keeping our GM? We should be firing our GM if the opposing quarterback says stuff like, "Keep him! Give him a raise! Let him run your draft unhindered!"

TOTAL BS

Understand now. Goes with what I heard in the whole PM process fiasco. |
Probably holding on to Pioli until their lawyers get everything together to fired him with cause and without pay...

Bringing in a Head Coach worth a shit is going to be hard to do with Pioli still here. Who would want the job.

I liked what clark said in the interviews today everything made sense sounds more like he gives a shit then i thought im looking forward to the future just wish we didnt have hurry up and wait hurry up and wait
|
Except that everything he said today is obviously complete utter bullshit.
Pioli is still GM Koetter is coming in for an interview Tuesday. Ferentz is coming in Wednesday. That's all anyone really needs to know to prove Clark is talking out of his ass. |
Why is Cassel still on team?

Everything I've seen from Clark tells me that he's waiting to get his legal ducks in a row before pulling the trigger. No way would he say "The next head coach is reporting directly to me" if he intended to keep Pioli around. That's an explicit vote of no-confidence on his part. My hunch is he's waiting for the right time to do it.

Dead man walking.

IMO.....Scott Peeholi is gone as soon as one of two events happen. Either his lawyers are using a loophole to shred his contract. Or his replacement is still in the playoffs and he's waiting for that team to be eliminated. |
I just saw a bit of the channel 5 interview with Clark Hunt. I seriously doubt Pioli is going anywhere based on what chunt said. "Who's decision was it to fire Romeo" - Coleman
"It was my decision but it was one that Scott agreed with" I doubt Scotty is going anywhere anytime soon. Hopefully I'm proved wrong |

So does this all mean Clark is going to be making the 2013 draft picks himself I wonder?

Yup Pioli no longer has control of this team if he stays or not. If he does stay it is in a role no different than he was at New England. He would be basically the top personnel guy answering to the head coaches wishes. That is why it will be more along the lines of a Holmgren, Cowher, Gruden, Billick or Reid type hire imo. With that said I think it is all legal stuff being hammered out before he is out the door.
