Chiefs fans will be happy to know that Scott Pioli is out. Long-time GB personnel man John Dorsey appears headed to KC to work for Andy Reid

Also looking like Green Bay's John Dorsey will be GM and not Tom Heckert, who once worked with Reid in Philly

Wow...this is the best case scenario, no?

Will this end our long time stretch of drafting defensive tackles in the 1st round? PLEASE!

Yeah, he was responsible for college scouting in Green Bay while they were having some of the best drafts in the NFL.

So who does Dorsey get credit for drafting? Rogers, Mathews, Raji?

Unless Dorsey doesn't interview well or Reid has a change of heart, Dorsey is expected to join Chiefs personnel staff in coming days.

I believe Raji was taken after he was promoted to Director of Football Operations but yeah, all of that talent was drafted by him or under him.

You're an idiot. HELL. NO.

Dorsey was the Director of College Scouting when all those guys were drafted so he had a significant impact.

With the Packers having Aaron Rodgers, I wonder how much QB scouting they have done.

So basically, if Rivera is fired today...that sets the table for yet another best-possible-scenario to take place.

The guy from SF scared me. I thought here comes Alex smith

The decision on Rivera isn't supposed to happen until Monday.

Ron Rivera, Jerry Richardson meeting on Saturday

The Panthers are putting together a list of general manager candidates, which now reportedly includes Titans vice president of player personnel Lake Dawson, but their head coach still hasn’t met with the team’s owner to talk about the 2012 season.

According to Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer, that meeting will take place on Saturday. Ron Rivera and owner Jerry Richardson are expected to sit down to discuss Rivera’s future with the team. Rivera’s status has been in question ever since the Panthers fired General Manager Marty Hurney, but his team did finish the year with five wins in the final six games and four straight at the end of the year to wind up with a better record than he had in 2011.

How much playing out the string at that pace will impact Richardson’s decision remains to be seen, but it does suggest that Rivera was still able to find a way to elicit a strong effort from his players. An even bigger question is whether Richardson would make keeping Rivera as the coach for at least one more year would become a precondition for any G.M. candidates if the owner does decide to keep Rivera around.

We should know more after the weekend about who will be on the sideline for the Panthers in 2013.

Do we have to wait until Green Bay season is done to officially hire him?
