Clark caught between a rock and a hard place
Clark is in a Catch-22. If he lets Pioli go now, there will be the perception among the fans, owners, and the NFL in general that he doesn't really make the decisions around here- he will be percieved as beeing subject to the whims of the fans. On the other hand, if he doesn't let Pioli go, he will have totally alienated the entire fan base who makes his team profitable (outside of TV revenues). The Chiefs have made one PR blunder after another this year and fans are on the verge of outright revolt.
In all seriousness, if you are Clark- and view this purely as a business decision- what is your next move? |

This definitely hasn't been discussed and was absolutely worthy of a new thread.

Ugh you make the decision that is best for your franchise. In this case, it's firing Pioli. And who cares if it makes it look like the fans persuaded the decision. The fans are who SHOULD be making this decision.

![]() You sit down with Pioli and make it perfectly clear that the Cassel experiment is over and he is to make getting a stud QB his top priority right now. That includes possibly trading Bowe or whomever, before the deadline, to a team that looks to have a top draft pick next year. Also IF Crennel is staying, which is probably has to, then they need to hire a DC that can not only help Crennel but can augment the defensive scheme with the more aggressive plays(ala 1-gap plays). despite all the rumor/media/make-believe bullshit that's being talk about around here, the 2 things we really need are a franchise QB and improved HC coaching. It might not be ideal, but blowing it all up again is probably not a good idea so soon either. Give us QB Geno Smith and DC Kirby Smart and we're good.

No head coach wants to ****ing work in Kansas city. No defensive coordinator or offensive coordinator wants to work here. I can't imagine what kind of reject coach we'd have to get that would agree to being micro managed all the way to the starting lineup setup. And as long as pioli is there,arrowhead will be dead. You can't shut the media out and not think that maybe the media helped create some excitement around the team. There is nothing good that comes of keeping pioli. I generally like the team he has built, but some of the damage is unrepairable unless he leaves. |

There isn't any evident to backup the Dr. Evil/Pioli bullshit ... it's just crazy fans who have talked themselves into believe shit because they are pissed.

Why has nearly every single hire been guys he's worked with previously? We won't get new blood in here unless they are ok with being micro-managed. You're in denial about Pioli.

Al Davis hired a bunch of bottom-of-the-barrel coaches. Gruden and Kiffin were two of the youngest coaches to ever coach football (Kiffin was the youngest). He sought out high risk young guys who wanted a shot. And guess what, most of them were let go within a few years because Al Davis drafted whomever he wanted, regardless of whether it fit the coach's philosophy.

Deciding that you're not going to give more money to a loser is not a hard decision.
