Jeff Chadiha Interviewed on 810 this morning -Interesting bits about Cassel and OC

[ComfortablyNumb]

Jeff Chadiha of ESPN was interviewed on 810 this morning and had some interesting bits about Cassel:

- He revealed that Haley told him that his father, Dick Haley (famous Steelers personnel man), upon watching Cassel practice told him "I don't think you can win with this guy"

- Was told by a source within the Chiefs that he trusts that Matt Cassel was still mistakenly calling out plays using Patriots terminology...in year two

- Was told that Weiss was not a Cassel fan at all (I know this isn't new, but yet another source confirming what we already know)

- Was informed by multiple sources around the league that the Chiefs OC job is not a prime destination because of the atmosphere created by Pioli, lack of confidence in the staying power of Romeo and the fact that Cassel is the QB

Very depressing interview....

I think not.Then, there's another part of me that wants to know what in the name of Bill Muir's Depends Budget is wrong with Pioli. He sounds unstable.

Well, he IS married into the family....the Parcells family. Can you imagine what Thanksgiving dinner is like? Bill and Scott pushing and shoving each other, grasping for a turkey leg, cursing and spitting, and fighting for who gets the turkey leg? It's got to be a very "type-A" family dynamic.

the trouble is, Chiefs fans don't quit spending the money. They keep on and on and on. It is the only way to get the "Company's" attention. Quit buying the product.

Take a look at the stadium on gameday. The money has dried up.

Why is a national ESPN football analyst going on local KC talkshows to talk about the Chiefs when the Super Bowl is 3 days away?

It's a weekly segment. 810 is in Indy this week. He's got a pretty good relationship with with the 810 morning guys.

Doug Whaley was the best hire at the time.

But he sent out a profane email, so clearly he wasn't GM caliber anymore...

so, expect a 9-6 / 8-8 season, and a general mindset from teh Chiefs/Pioli of "all is gonig to plan. we're building with Cassel"

short of a couple of 24+ losses/blowouts, I don't see Clark making a change.

9-6 =16 Is this the New Pioli math ?

[Hydrae]

Here I was thinking Haley was the crazy one. Now I am thinking they are both nuts. Is it Clark driving them crazy or is it in the water?

Why the fukk is Pioli worried about how the coaches park? If this is true he has to go. There should be no reason why this is on his pallette of things to focus on. Makes no sense at all.

A dispute over parking is "the thing" that makes you decide to fire a GM?????

Lighten up Francis....

I think it is more of - would I rather have my GM getting in a tizzy over an exec taking up two parking spots and having to devote time to addressing it, or would I rather have the GM look at the roster and say "Hey, I have a rookie backing up the LG, C and RG positions, and nobody else. What can I do to add some depth?"

Apparently Pioli was in a meeting room and a tv on in the background was running a story on the Patriots and the 'Patriot Way'. I guess the tv report went on and on about Tom Brady and Bill Belichek. There was no mention of Pioli. Chadiha said he was told that Pioli got so infuriated that he was not mentioned that he got up, grabbed something off the table and threw it at the wall. He yelled 'I helped build that thing!'

So a grown man who is supposed to be leading OUR organization throwing tantrums.... These Chadiha interviews are very insightful, but so depressing.

I'm not sure how insightful they are. They are certainly entertaining stories, but they stink of people who have an axe to grind with Pioli or who are trying to smear the guy at this point. I mean seriously, a new Pioli sucks story every week? It's reaching a point where I am starting to think some ex-front office folk or ex-scouts that Pioli axed are just badmouthing the guy. If the guy was that egotistical or starved for attention and accolades, he'd be talking to the media every week like Carl did. If he was so power hungry, he could've taken a number of jobs during that whole Patriots run rather than turning down job offer after job offer in order to work behind the scenes in New England. Something just seems off and over the top with a lot of these "stories" from "people" who have talked to Chadhia...

[ChiefsCountry]

From people I know in the Chiefs front office all of this is true. Its not the media having a grind.
