Started this thread with my 17,000 post. I need a life.

He'll have to address the coaching situation.

I'm gonna laugh my balls off if he says anything resembling "5 year plan."

I'm sure he'll beat around the bush...

$100 bucks says his response is something along the lines of "We'll be evaluating the coaching staff over the next several days. When we know something, you'll know something. Next question."

Then the "DAMMIT SCOTT'S" can start in earnest.

Would this be to soon to announce the termination of one Herm Edwards?

Yes.

For added effect, you should've titled the thread:

****** OFFICIAL SCOTT PIOLI PRESS CONFERENCE THREAD ******

It's never too soon.... but I don't think it'll happen.

If what Fox said is true no way he's not in KC before noon. That leaves him with about 2-4 hours to "officially" fire Herm?

I agree. This oughta be hilarious.

I said in another thread that the only time I want to hear a combination of "5", "year", and "plan" coming out of his mouth in one sentence would be in 2014...

"5 SB's in consecutive seasons was great, but I plan on winning 1 more with the Chiefs next year!!!"

I hope that the Chiefs are flying him on something better than Southwest.

Before the presser. I saw somewhere that he'll meet with all of the staff throughout the day tomorrow. I'm guessing that Herm'll be on his list then.... :-D

There almost no time left to fire Herm. Senior bowl is soon and a new coach must assemble a staff. I wish Clark would have done it after the Cincy ass kicking.

I've always heard that they were great to fly with.... wouldn't Clark have his own plane. He is loaded...

Why are they going to Dallas?

Forget that.

You'll get "we plan to have a smart, strong, tough football team that contends for championships year after year."

(something like that anyway)

Thanks for the links, BRC.

That's his wife's name. He'll be in Dallas for a few hours.

That's where Clark lives.

The Austin Powers version is better with the usage of "Scott!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Clark has the Hunt corporate jet at his disposal.

You just don't get it do you Scott....

I'm sooo pissed I have to work during this. I'll just have to catch up when I get home.

Thats what I'm here for.:)

Ladies and gentlemen, Scotty don't!

One would think he'd already have his mind made up one way or another already. If they don't do it today, I'd think they would have decided to keep Herm around.

One way or another, we should get some sort of an idea from the presser if the KC media is worth a damn.

I'm sure you can check this thread and get a full transcript on kcchiefs.com tommorrow.

When a problem comes along, you must zip it

Ding! You are now free to rebuild this franchise.

Just so ya know, I've got a whole bag of zip it over here with your name on it.

Today is 1/14/09.

Mike Tomlin was hired 1/22/07
Tony Sporano was hired 1/16/08
John Harbaugh hired 1/19/08
Mike Smith was hired 1/23/08

No need to panic.

Might want to keep that post on standby.

I've posted the same information several times, yet people keep panicking.

None of those dates are applicable here because as we all know a coaching move cannot be made after the senior bowl. That would go against every bit of football common sense.

When is the senior bowl?

Lucky for us, the KC media always asks the tough questions.:grr:

I honestly don't know, I was just being a smartass, I have seen a lot of posters here saying that hiring a coach after the Senior Bowl is bad because they didn't get time to evaluate the talent.

1/24/2009

What time will the presser be held?

right... Clark can't meet him at KCI Airport in KC and go to Arrowhead?

5: central. Its in the first post

Good looking out on the links BRC, I was wondering where I would be able to see this living out of town now.

just remember if I'm ever out your way I expect free health care.:rolleyes:

Some fan just called into 810 right now and said that we should try and trade for Tom Brady.



**** TOM BRADY.

sorry to repost this thread... I awoke from a nap... I dreamed I started the first Scott Pioli press conference thread...

Heh - I already told my boss I am leaving early so I can be home in time to catch in on the net.:D

ROFL Yur a "real" fan. :clap:

Can't wait :thumb:

That would be hilarious to see Herm walking behind Pioli during the press conference carrying a stack of boxes.

You're right. I laughed when I read that.

Edit: Or how about Herm and Bob Gretz in the background carrying out a statue of Carl from Herm's office.

I did too.ROFL

I've got a bad feeling.

You'd think that if they were going to fire Herm, they would of done it before this press conference.

I don't know.

as the biggest anti-Tom Brady fan...ever

I simply don't know what I'd do if Brady was a Chiefs player...my friends would rag on me every day...

I'd beat them to a punch and buy a #12 jersey I guess.

Dude....I HATE Tom Brady.

I don't know what I'd do if it happened. I would probably cry if he ever brought us a Superbowl Championship. Tears of joy and sadness.

You're just bitter because because Peyton Manning has choked just about everytime he's faced the Pats in the playoffs.

is there a video link on the fox site that i'm missing, or will just play on the main page?

Nice joke Clark

Anyone getting the live stream to work?

K.

Watching on ESPN News...

What is a herd mentality?

This is where I think it is.

http://media.myfoxkc.com/live/index1.html

Clark Starts off with a joke that whiffs.....

it is on nfl network right now

That's weird, Mike Tomlin is on NFLN.

what was the joke?

Well at least if we did trade for Brady we would never hear about him in the media again because national media wants nothing to do with the Chiefs......unless it involves another team out on the east coast etc.

Once the trade was completed, we would never have to hear about him on a national stage again.

thanks, that is it

their website eats dick

Anyone who would be upset with Tom Brady on the Chiefs needs to have their pulse checked.

Learn to speak publicly, Clark :doh!:

Clark believes building a championship team through the draft

Clark wants to build "championship teams" championship teams are built through the draft.

Pioli is the finest talent evaluator available.

Thanking Krafts.


I still don't understand exactly WHY the Pats would allow him to come to KC....

Clark hit with the age joke though... great recovery.

Yeah that joke bombed...its all in the delivery Clark!

Sanchez is entering the draft!!!!

espn

DAMMIT CLARK!:banghead:

HE SPEAKS!

Been talking with Clark for the last week +
