Chiefs 2 interviews with Scott Pioli

Zouk · 01-06-2009, 11:05 AM

I found these interviews interesting. He comes off as a smart and funny guy - certainly not as a paranoid robot like Belichick. And it's so clear he understands all the little things of putting a roster together - talking about keeping a mid-30's below average DE named Anthony Pleasant around because of his special leadership for example. This guy would be a great GM.

Actually, Belichick is funny when he's not in front of a crowd of reporters. He's a weird little man, to be honest.

But yes, Pioli is smart, outgoing and funny. Very much so.

You see Bellichick and you think "little"?

Thanks for posting these, Zouk.

I really hope he's the next GM, but I gotta be honest... I'm not too confident Hunt will land Pioli.

It's not that I think Hunt won't pony up the $, it's that Pioli may just want to stay in NE.

I think he'll want to stay in New england because it will be all about the money with Clark. It was this year with other decisions.

The players said 'Well you know what, this is a good enough deal, I don't need to be a pig, I'll jump in.' So it wasn't really a change in philosophy, it was just more a change in the timing based on what the players wanted to do, as well.

That was pretty funny. Do ya think Carl called John Tait and Jarred Allen "PIGS"?

So after seeing this, I searched online for his height just to see if he is actually little.

Here's what yahoo answers had to say:

Question:

What is Bill Belichick's height and weight?

Answers:

"it doesn't matter, i'm just surprised that they can stack ugly that high"

"that's hard to answer. belicheck's head is swelling faster than barry bonds. whatever he is this week, next week his head will have grown by another inch and 15 pounds..."

"Probably about 2 feet tall.. I think he's a troll in disguise.. He has to wear that hoodie all the time, to hide the fact that he's really a troll.."

And the winner by votes on yahoo answers:

"Bill Belichick's response: That's not a question about the Jets. Only questions about the Jets please."

Those are some quality freaking answers! Were any of those from CP users?

Good stuff.

He can't possibly be 6 feet tall. I'm thinking 5'10", at best, which isn't short, but often I see him standing next to his players looking like this little runt.

There was great footage of him at training camp one year really bitching out his entire offensive line, in full pads. Pretty funny to see this little guy taking it to 8 behemoths standing around him.

His use of crunchy peanut butter explains so much.

I thought there was a lot of humility there that I like too. Some people think the Patriots are on another planet in terms of how they run a football team, when they're really not. They're not the only smart people in the NFL, and Pioli acknowledges that here and in other things I've read too.

Just comes across very likeable.

I really hope we land this guy.

Dayton Moore and Pioli possibly both holding rank at the sports complex? Nice.

It would be the first time Wichita was good for something.
