***Official Pioli Media Tour Thread***

[Micjones]

Pioli's slated for interviews today with both the Star and 610 Sports.

The Star interview is around Noon.
He'll talk with "The Big Show" sometime after 3.

Thoughts on what we'll get from him?
Will the KC media hold his feet to the fire?

Most of us will be at work and won't have access to the live interviews.
Post the gems in this thread, please.

A lot of "I'm not going to get into that..." when it comes to the banner and his contract talks.

You know that everyone of the interviewers were given questions they weren't allowed to ask in return for having him speak on their show. Anything that comes close he will dodge. I would be surprised if any of these interviews offer any kind of information that we don't know already.

Any idea what times?

If you got only 1 question to ask Scott Pioli today in these interviews, what would it be?

Here is mine:
When you watch Matt Cassel play quarterback and see his lack of pocket awareness, his lack of calm/leadership, and his inability to go through WR progressions... how can you justify attaching your reputation to a player that does not have anywhere NEAR the skillset to compete in the quarterback race that has developed to be the standard in todays NFL?



I REALLY want to know HOW Scott Pioli doesn't watch and see how terrible Cassel is at QB.

That is pretty much it, Matt Cassel, as almost everything else but the hiring of RAC as head coach is collateral damage.

Which of your mistakes as Chiefs GM do you regret the most?

[HemiEd]

So Scott, after RAC failing miserably as a head coach in Cleveland, what made you think he would be successful in KC being a HC and a DC at the same time?

[tooge]

does it bother you that people are finally realizing that Tom Brady made the patriot way and you are being called a fraud?

Scott, after 4 years on the job, the best players on this team are still leftovers from the Peterson Era. Charles, Bowe, Albert, Flowers, Johnson, and Hali. Why is that?

That's not entirely true, but I would say the majority of the team's best players are from the previous regime.

Houston and Berry show promise... but they are not better than the six listed yet.

[Coogs]

Scott, Eric Winston blasted our entire fan base, yet you chose to remain silent about the whole situation. Why is that?

Houston certainly looks like a better all around linebacker than Hali (at least right now).

I also think whether or not they're better misses the point.

The real question should be has Pioli added significant talent to the roster?
A. Yes. Pioli's draft picks are all considerably younger players. It's not unreasonable that veteran players, in their prime, are better than rookies, two-year and three-year guys.
