It's laughable to think that he would come here. Maybe if he got to be his own GM, or had a say-so in what GM he was working with...but 99% improbable even then.
The only people who will take this job are Pioli's former NE cronies who have failed elsewhere (Crennel, McDaniels), Young upstarts looking for their first shot (Haley), old failed former head coaches who know it their LAST shot (Crennel again), or Bill O'Brien. That's your list as long as Pioli is here.
Jon Gruden, Bill Cowher, Andy Reid, Perry Fewell - not a single one of those guys would even talk to the Chiefs with Pioli here. Jeff Fisher wouldn't even entertain the idea of coming here. And if weren't for the Chiefs, Daboll would be coaching WRs at a Div I-AA school, if he even had a job in football at all - from all accounts I've heard, he's an ignorant and arrogant asshole...though I can't imagine what he has to be arrogant about. He's fat, bald, and his offense is more predictable than a Punt Pass & Kick contest.
But long story short, no Sean Payton.

That was with Pioli and Cassel here. The new guy coming in gets to pick his QB and knows how desperate we are to give him more power.
Bonus for Payton is that we don't have to wait until end of season to start negotiations. That's huge. Remember how we had to wait until the super bowl to get Haley?
