Schefter: Chiefs leaning towards firing Pioli
Schefter: Chiefs mulling big change
December, 30, 2012 DEC 30 1:50PM ET By Bill Williamson | ESPN.com ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday that he expects the Kansas City Chiefs to fire coach Romeo Crennel. As for general manager Scott Pioli, Schefter reports the Chiefs -- mired in a miserable 2-13 season -- are leaning toward firing Pioli. If I had to guess, I’d say both Crennel and Pioli are going to be fired. They are a package deal. I think if the Hunt family had its druthers, it would give both men another chance. But the fan fury is so great in Kansas City, I think the Hunts will be compelled to make a move. I don’t think firing one of the two and keeping the other will work. Pioli has hired two coaches -- Todd Haley and Crennel -- since joining the Chiefs in 2009. I don’t necessarily think he will get a chance to hire a third. If that is what is the case, I think the Chiefs will likely make a clean sweep and hire a new general manager (Bill Polian, anyone?) first and then a head coach. We shall soon see. I don’t think the Hunts will wait long before making a decision. http://espn.go.com/blog/afcwest/post...ing-big-change |

I also believe that Hunt will resist 'cleaning house' unless he thinks that he doesn't really have much choice. The Hunt family is about business and they don't like change unless it's directly related to making money.

When you couldn't even get Peyton Manning or Jeff Fisher to even talk to you, you know something is wrong. The games aren't even fun to go to anymore. Even the shitty Carl/Herm years weren't even this bad. Hell in 20 years Carl Peterson never got the hate that Pioli has earned from fans. Jack Stedman and Jim Schaff never got it either. Peterson and Steadman were active in the community and did alot of good in the city. If Pioli is retained, it will be a very hard decision on season tickets for me.

Positive is that Stanzi would finally get his big break.

A performance record like Scott's would have gotten me fired 3 or 4 times at my current job. |

Can someone explain the Clark is cheap theory to me. I thought that the more people you have in the stadium - the more money you get from ticket, beer/food, parking, sales....etc. If you lose a lot of games you also lose a lot of fans , royalties, advertisment and a chance at their money. Why would Clark not care about winning?

Earlier this year, Kent Babb said that not firing Pioli would be evidence that Hunt is the worst owner in football.
Kind of hard to argue with this logic. |
