Didn't really want to start a new thread for this but didn't know where to put it where it would get buried. Thought it was very insightful. Enjoy.

For those of you that don't know:Lynn Stiles
Former Chiefs VP of player personnel (92-96) and VP of football operations (00-08).

Good Lord I thought we were officially interviewing him for a second.

Someone with the cliff notes.

He thinks Reid is a good hire. Good stable organized leader.

About the draft, gotta make sure you get guys that fit.

Made a point to let us know former front office types and players weren't welcome under the last regime. But he was around for the press day when Andy was introduced and he felt at home again. Clark has told him he is welcome here anytime.

A few points I remember.

Just thank ****ing jesus we are done with the football GM version of Stalin.

How could you alienate past players and staff? What point does that serve?

Scott Pioli deserves never to work in football again. Let him suck off his father in law, who also was one of the most overrated talent evaluators.

Friend of mine at school's dad visited with Trent Green on the plaza this week, said the organization, once Reid was hired, immediately opened itself back up to former players.

The bigger question for me is "Why?". Why alienate former players and staffers? He must have a massive inferiority complex.

Pioli

This is what I ask.

What was the point of that? Pioli was a typical East coaster.

That is unequivocally untrue.

I have tons of friends that are from New York, New Jersey, etc. and they're not ****ing assholes in any way, shape or form.

Guess your friends are the lucky ones.

I just don't know how Clark allowed that to happen. When I visited Arrowhead in 1999 and 2000, I was lucky enough to get down on the field. Walking through AH, there were TONS of former players, staff walking around talking, shaking hands.

The whole stadium all around the stands there were the charity signs.

Lamar built a huge family environment and I'm happy it's coming back.

He's just an insecure **** head. He can preach how he appreciates the history of the game, but then he shits on it here?

**** that scumbag.

Same thing many say happened at Nebraska with Cally. Amazing how things crash when you treat everyone like crap and tear down history!

East coast people appreciate history and relationships.

Give me a ****ing break.

That's like say every Midwesterner is a dumbass hillbilly rube.
