Chiefs ***Rumor*** ***** gets fired if Chiefs Lose in Tampa. - Page 19

**Scorp** · 10-12-2012, 03:44 PM

Title says it all. Heard on the Danny Parkins show this morning on 610 that Danny has an unnamed Source that he trusts. The source says ***** has been told win at Tampa or his tenure is done in KC.

Can we really be this close to our goal?

Again, this is in the top 3 of worst rumors of CP All time and people are still lapping it up. Cmon guys.

I could go either way.

It's obvious a meltdown is underway in Kansas City due to the meglomania inspired incompetence from the GM's office. Candy wrapper gate, Haley, phone taps, the whispers by employees of intimidation, rumors of despotic control (the recent lineup thing), the recent deluge of negative articles by current and former KC jounalists, etc.

***** is rapidly losing the team and any respect and clout he might have had with Clark Hunt when he was hired.

There is obviously a revolution brewing. Someone is going to end up on the guillotine. It's just a question of when and whose heads are going to roll. If I'm Clark Hunt, I would nip this sucker in the bud as fast as possible to quickly halt the rapidly developing discontent in the fan base. An interm GM wouldn't be held responsible for anything negative that happens for the rest of the season and it would build the expectations in the fan base for the future of the team as most would perceive a longer, more thought out GM selection as a positive versus a quick replacement fix if ***** & his synchophants were fired at the end of the season.

***** will not only be here at the end of the year he'll be here next year.

Doubtful.

Rich, powerful men like Clark Hunt don't accept failure from highly-paid employees, especially when they make the organization look bad from a PR standpoint.

That's only true if the OP is an out-and-out lie. A radio station broadcasting that they have a trusted source feeding them this info actually qualifies as better than a rumor. That being said I still think it's wrong.

I actually hope it's wrong. Not only because I think we'll win, but because it seems like an arbitrary way to make the decision. They can win by 40 or lose by 40 on Sunday, the decision should be the same.

I really don't see why it would depend on a win against Tampa Bay, but I don't agree with the thought that a GM shouldn't be fired before the end of the season.

I just know what ***** is doing now is not g3etting better, its getting worse. Despite better talent, we are somehow playing worse.

Its just time to draft a qb, if it dont work, ****ing draft another one, if that dont work, draft another one. Shit will hit eventually

This is my thought as well. You wait until after the season and you give up a lot of time that is vitally important to the GM being able to do his job. If you're going to do it, then you do it ASAP. First it tells the fans that they get it and they are doing something about it. Second, it gives time to do a good search and find the guy you want (not sure how many people remember Clark really did not want ***** because of the total control stuff which is a major part of why the fans have finally turned on them and the team being a laughinstock around the league). And then it gives the new GM time to assess things and get his staff in order or get on working terms with the people he'll keep around.

It could also mean a better chance at getting a big name coach. A lot of them want a lot of say in the personnel decisions, which I don't think you give them GM power but you see if maybe you can find guys that would be a good fit and not Haley/***** part 2.

Then there's evaluating assistant coaches and lower personnel. Plus there's some big player decisions (Bowe, Albert, Dorsey, and Tyson Jackson off the top of my head).

And of course the draft. Having time to get things in place and properly evaluate everyone can mean the difference between going and getting the guy you want and just settling for the guy that is there when you pick. Since QB should be the focus, I think that's especially important this year.

But...what if it's true?

On the surface it's beyond laughable considering how our ownership works.

Will never happen, but it's smart.

The hate that will come after we lose and it doesn't happen will make the fans even more pissed off after the false hope...

Only if people really believe this rumor has a snowballs chance in Florida of being true. People aren't this stupid.

I would say 'no way', but I'm pretty sure Carl Peterson was sent packing mid-season wasn't he?

Yao Yo wha?

Like I said before, *****'s future now rests on the arm of Brady Quinn. It is quite ironic considering Quinn was supposed to be fake competition to Cassel.
