Chiefs Chatter increases that Pioli could be back in Kansas City - Page 8

Amazing how clueless the media is.

Quote:

There’s a loose rule in NFL circles that a traditional General Manager gets to hire two coaches before the G.M. ends up on the hot seat. The Bears broke from that loose standard last year, firing G.M. Jerry Angelo before the only coach Angelo ever hired was let go.

The Chiefs could go the other way this time around, giving G.M. Scott Pioli a third chance to hire a new head coach.

The prevailing rumor in league circles is that first-year coach Romeo Crennel will be replaced, but that Pioli will remain. In 2009, Pioli hired Todd Haley to coach the team. Haley was fired during his third season on the job.

No one knows for sure what owner Clark Hunt will do. He was facing unrelenting pressure from fans and local media to clean house earlier this season. The Jovan Belcher tragedy caused much of the outcry to diminish.

If Hunt keeps Pioli, his mandate will be clear: Find a quarterback. With five Pro Bowlers on a two-win team, there’s no lack of talent at other positions in Kansas City. But Matt Cassel never has matched his performance in 2008, the year he replaced Tom Brady in New England, and it’s impossible to win in this league without someone who can move the chains by flinging the pig.

The bad news for the Chiefs and Pioli is that they’re a year late to earn a top-two pick. There’s no Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III in 2013. Pioli’s best bet could be to take the best available athlete at the top of the draft, and then to make like Trent Baalke or John Schneider and find a franchise quarterback in round two or three.

If Hunt fires Pioli, the talk is that Bill Polian could become the new G.M. in Kansas City. Some suspect, however, that the Polian rumors trace to Polian himself.

Either way, a looming finish of 2-14 shows that changes are needed in Kansas City. The only question is how extensive they’ll be.

tomorrow you will see the picture for what it is, I expect.

I don't think Ferentz is the hire, either. Hell, I don't see how any coach is going to hire on here, because if the team isn't a winner next season it is going to get ugly.

Looking at a new QB, a new OC and the rest of this staff returns.

No way this happens. Pioli is as good as gone. Clark cannot be so foolish as to give an extension to an idiot GM who's idea of "QB competition" was Cassel, Quinn and Stanzi. Pioli is gone by Tuesday.

Whatever you have to tell yourself to keep the doors open to come back to the Chiefs.

And the prophet speaks.

Nothing to see here.

It cant happen. Even if clark loves him no way he can ignore the bashing he is taking. It would only get worse and continue next september. Black on opening day. Shitty ticket sales. Scott cant stay. No way he keeps him.

Literally keeping Pioli is the death blow, but keeping Pioli and hiring another tree ****er like Ferentz is just the icing on the cake.

Clark, go **** yourself you weasel one who sucks the penis. Enjoy your 1/5th full Arrowhead.

And.................

This.

Shag · 12-30-2012, 10:14 AM

If this happens, it's over for the Chiefs. Worse than Pioli staying around, we'd confirm that Clark is clueless, and that this team will never win with the Hunt family in charge. And that's not going to change any time soon...

It's going to be a telling week...

KCrockaholic · 12-30-2012, 10:15 AM

These latest reports don't worry me at all for some reason. I just feel like it shouldn't be possible for Pioli to stay.

Coogs · 12-30-2012, 10:17 AM

I tell you what. If this goes down I hope Sam Mellinger grills the shit of Clark at the press conference. I say Sam, because I think he is the only reporter in KC who has enough balls to ask non-softball questions.

**loochy** · 12-30-2012, 10:17 AM

Quit posting crap like this. I don't want to be angry about this sort of thing unless and until it actually happens. Give me some time to be happy, ok?
