Next GM Short-List: Who's your pick and why?

[ziggysocki]

There is lots of talk about Pioli getting the boot, but I haven't seen much about possible replacements. Who is available? Who would have a chance at success (not mediocrity) Who makes your short list of candidates?

I am not any kind of expert on NFL execs, but I want one how understands that modern NFL franchises need to build around a franchise quarterback.

I just want my Chiefs back... I miss caring about the game on Sunday.

What say you?

THIS

Although Dick Steinberg, Terry Bradway and Matt Millen should be considered for the GM position.

[DaWolf]

I'm still holding out hope for Marty as GM, Brian as HC, and Kurt as DC. Make it happen Clarks!

[DaneMcCloud]

I'm actually hoping for Jerry Jones.

Do you guys think we can get him?

Allard Baird and Trey Hillman would be nice.

[ClevelandBronco]

It's simple. Fire Scott, promote Romeo to GM.

I'd probably give up our first round pick if such a thing were possible.

Everybody talks about drafting a QB because we haven't done it since 1983.

Well, I've come around to the thinking of guys like Petro and others. I personally think we should hire the COACH first and let him have some say in who we get as GM.

We've tried the other way for the better part of 40 years and it hasn't worked. The last time we had a coach with as much or more power than the GM (Stram), we won it all.

If their treatment of employees are part of a larger pattern of behavior that could get in the way of winning, you SHOULD give a shit.

That stuff about Polian sounds just like Pioli.

People can say all they want "I don't care if Pioli makes the media get an escort to go to the bathroom as long as they win" but they're not recognizing that his insistence on such things is an indication that he believes such things give the Chiefs a COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE.

In other words, he doesn't have a ****ing clue...

[bevischief]

No to Polian.

Clark says he wants to emulate the Steelers. Since the glory years of the 1970's, how many of their GMs can you name? One?

Look all around the NFL at the successful teams and the coaches are equal too or slightly above the GM in terms of say...

[Saulbadguy]

I don't care.

The overwhelming majority of this board wanted (and got) Pioli. We don't know shit about football, obviously.
