Schefter: Chiefs leaning towards firing Pioli
Schefter: Chiefs mulling big change
December, 30, 2012 DEC 30 1:50PM ET By Bill Williamson | ESPN.com ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday that he expects the Kansas City Chiefs to fire coach Romeo Crennel. As for general manager Scott Pioli, Schefter reports the Chiefs -- mired in a miserable 2-13 season -- are leaning toward firing Pioli. If I had to guess, I’d say both Crennel and Pioli are going to be fired. They are a package deal. I think if the Hunt family had its druthers, it would give both men another chance. But the fan fury is so great in Kansas City, I think the Hunts will be compelled to make a move. I don’t think firing one of the two and keeping the other will work. Pioli has hired two coaches -- Todd Haley and Crennel -- since joining the Chiefs in 2009. I don’t necessarily think he will get a chance to hire a third. If that is what is the case, I think the Chiefs will likely make a clean sweep and hire a new general manager (Bill Polian, anyone?) first and then a head coach. We shall soon see. I don’t think the Hunts will wait long before making a decision. http://espn.go.com/blog/afcwest/post...ing-big-change |
