Chiefs Is Hunt Telling The Truth? - Page 12

**BossChief** · 01-01-2013, 03:04 PM

Don't want to start a panic, but I know we are all thinking the same thing even if we want to ignore it. Clark SAYS he is gonna hire a vet coach that's experienced in what we need and that Pioli won't play a part in the search, but then we keep hearing about guys Pioli has connections with getting interviews and how Clark hasn't even contacted Andy Reid.

I may be jumping the gun here, but this is starting to remind me of last years "we are gonna bring in qb competition" talks that we all know how that ended.

Is this a "fool me once..." type scenario or are all the tree coaches interviewing just bs leaked by Pioli to create the impression he still has his nuts?

Should we be pissed?

I've searched Google news and Twitter, and not a soul has mentioned an interview other than Breer, Chris Hanson and the guy from Iowa.

Linking someone is a lot different than saying the Chiefs have an interview set up. Hell, people have been linking Ferentz to the Chiefs for years.

I don't see where Clark lied...?

I think you are missing my point....

Do you think Hunt took Pioii's power to hire a coach away so he could go hire a coach Pioli could hire himself?

But I'll agree. If the coach turns out to be from the tree, Hunt was full of crap.

**SAUTO** · 01-01-2013, 04:50 PM

you better go to the Reid thread. Someone reported on an interview immediately after the fact.

=OnTheWarpath58;9264898]You're certainly not this dense.

How many times in the history of the NFL has there been a report of an interview immediately after the fact?

You act as if Clark's going to hold a press conference every time he interviews someone.

Some of you just have trust issues with the media, I guess.[/QUOTE]

Also I'm glad we're not going for Reid.

Very possible. Could file that under due diligence.

Agreed. I've been calling bullshit on the Ferentz interest and interview since it started this year. The only thing that scares me is that it might be Ferentz chance to get away from Iowa with the coming years looking lean.

Ace Gunner · 01-01-2013, 04:53 PM

I don't believe the Ferentz garbage, but I do expect Pioli (not Clark) will hire one of his cronies to HC this team next season. They are going to hunker down another season.

If they like Koetter, it's going to get done right away. If not, I expect them to wait for Josh McD and he'll be the HC.

No "big shot HC" hire happening here. Only a fool or bottom feeder will sign Clark's flimsy dotted line because everybody in the NFL fears SOC folks now & Pioli has one last stand.

They'll likely keep Gary Gibbs at DC running the 34, let him pick and choose his staff and figure in the new OC & staff on that side of the ball. I am hopeful the ST coach was RC's guy, because he was no good for this ST unit.

That's about it. As for whether I'd be turning my back on the Chiefs if I find out Clark is lying -- omitting the truth during an explanation is lying in my book -- Clark's sidestepping comment with regard to Pioli was a ****ing lie -- as of this point, Clark is fine with Pioli continuing to run football operations for the team.

Unless I see evidence Clark was not lying, I'll go with Clark is a big ass liar -- just another dishonest "businessman" and we all know the new rule$ on greed post '80's. He ain't the first liar we've been around and really, it's sports -- not like it effects me much. I stopped giving the Chiefs my financial support a year ago. Hell, what Goodell and all the owners have done to this game bothers me more.

But hey, if you're gonna lie, try and be clever about it. I do get annoyed at stupid lies.

My personal belief is you are a complete idiot.

So, in this scenario, everyone in the NFL except for Clark Hunt is afraid of what SOC can do?

So, you don't believe Clark?

Why is that?

Yes, why?

Because if you listened to the 810 interview and don't believe the man, you have to assume he minored in theater at SMU.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 01-01-2013, 04:57 PM

Not that anyone asked for it, but here's my personal opinion of what's really happening:

Clark has thrown the kitchen sink at Bill Cowher, and is doing his due diligence while waiting for an answer - which also buys him some time to resolve this Pioli legal bullshit, but prepares him if Cowher was to decline. Possible that he's had similar discussions with guys like Billick and Gruden, but I'd bet it's Cowher's job to decline.

If Bill Cowher wants to come back to coaching, he'll be the next HC of the KC Chiefs. If Cowher is smart, he grabs Omar Khan from Pittsburgh to handle the cap/contracts, while Cowher handles personnel.

As The Bad Guy said in another thread - this has to be a 3-run home run hire for Clark. If Clark hires a guy like Koetter, Horton, Ferentz, etc - he's looking at another 4 years of an empty Arrowhead.

Josh mcd has already said that he is staying in NE and he's not accepting interviews.

I think very similarly. Clark's deadlocked on getting Cowher right now.
