There is one single scenario in which I would be okay with Scott Pioli being fired within the next 7-10 days. Here goes...
Picture it, April 25, 2013, primetime cable television. Roger Goodell approaches the podium to announce the opening of this years NFL draft. Cameras key on on Geno Smith, Star Lotulelei, Luke Joeckel, Tyler Wilson and a few of the other green room invites. Minutes tick by and finally the graphic shows up in the lower right corner...PICK IS IN!
Goodell, card in hand, reemerges from behind the velvet curtained stage at Radio City Music Hall. When he gets to the podium he doesn't announce the KC pick, rather that we're starting a new tradition and the Chiefs have a very special person to announce their pick. Out comes Vincent Kennedy McMahon. What? This is ridiculous and makes no sense! VKM states that before he kicks off the 2013 NFL draft he has a message to deliver from owner, Clark Hunt. Cut to an extreme close up of Vince as he says, "Scott Pioli...YOU'RE FIRED! Oh, and with the first pick in the 2013 NFL draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select Eugene Smith, Quarterback, University of West Virgina." He starts to strut off the stage, but quickly saunters back to the mic and says "Oh, and one more thing, there is no more yellow in the team colors!"
Yes, publicly fire Scott on national TV and it would be worth the wait.
