Schefter: Chiefs mulling big change

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday that he expects the Kansas City Chiefs to fire coach Romeo Crennel.

As for general manager Scott Pioli, Schefter reports the Chiefs -- mired in a miserable 2-13 season -- are leaning toward firing Pioli.

If I had to guess, I’d say both Crennel and Pioli are going to be fired. They are a package deal. I think if the Hunt family had its druthers, it would give both men another chance. But the fan fury is so great in Kansas City, I think the Hunts will be compelled to make a move.

I don’t think firing one of the two and keeping the other will work.

Pioli has hired two coaches -- Todd Haley and Crennel -- since joining the Chiefs in 2009. I don’t necessarily think he will get a chance to hire a third. If that is what is the case, I think the Chiefs will likely make a clean sweep and hire a new general manager (Bill Polian, anyone?) first and then a head coach.

We shall soon see. I don’t think the Hunts will wait long before making a decision.

This coming from Schefter is big

OK. Finally! Now this is a report that makes sense. GET THE **** OUT!!!!!

This is getting ****ing silly.

it's as bad as the Manning drama.

If this is true, much respect to SOC and all the other fans that have made their displeasure known. However, it doesn't change the fact that the Hunts seem dumb as **** to not be able to fire Pioli's ass for his obvious failures.

I am going to blow something if he stays. Call 911.

From all these conflicting reports, sounds like Clark really has not decided yet.

This is the same guy who said we hired Shany too, isn't it?

Which is scary if you think about it.

that's the worst part

that Clark has not even decided yet and can still be swayed either way. That is sad.

Hell, Marty's "report" several weeks ago was credible enough for me.

Shit, I didn't even need a report.

Anyone who has done their job as Pioli has done his is going to be fired, especially in the NFL where you've got to put up winning seasons.

Yup, this is exactly what it means to me as well. Media is just guessing.
