Chiefs Is Hunt Telling The Truth? - Page 13

**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?

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.

I think you are spot on here

FAIL.

Dude. It's the second day of the offseason for us. The first day was the firing of the head coach and a statement from the owner that the current GM, if he's retained, will have an insignificant role.

A week or 2 into it I would start to worry. Not the second day.

Yep. Cowher seems to be exactly who he was talking about in his interviews yesterday

I got no love for the chin. Just a short term solution.

Plausible, just have to wait this shit out and see what happens.

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.

This is so ****ing drivel. LOLWUT? Why would you notbbelieve Clark is interested in running the Chiefs the way they do it in Pittsburgh?

What on earth makes you think Clark sidestepped Pioli questions?

Possible that he's had similar discussions with guys like Billick and Gruden, but I'd bet it's Cowher's job to decline.

This pretty much mirrors how I feel right now, right or wrong.

JMO Dave. Everybody knows Pioli ****ed up and needs to pay the price.

Any expert could analyze that video -- bet he would say Clark was lying during the Pioli questioning.

That's the worst part, especially with a rabid fanbase that wants answers/solutions yesterday at the latest.

aturnis · 01-01-2013, 05:07 PM

I don't see Cowher as a solution...

Lying about what? That Pioli's future with the Chiefs is yet to be determined?

I just hope that Clark isn't so deadlocked that if Cowher declines, that we don't get royally ****ed and end up with some slapdick out of desperation. Sound familiar?

Cowher just makes too much sense.

Clark's been talking to Marty. You know Marty is going to bat for Cowher, and doing the same for Clark to BC.

Clark has a hard-on for all things Steelers.

Cowher fits the criteria Clark laid out yesterday to a T.

Cowher immediately fills Arrowhead, or at least comes close - certainly brings in more fans than any other possible hire.

Cowher wants total control, and based on Clark's comments yesterday, he's looking for that type of HC.

The question is, how bad does Cowher want to come back to coaching?

Hammock Parties · 01-01-2013, 05:10 PM

The fact we have heard literally 0 reports from the media on Gruden or Cowher is interesting.

Carl was also in KC on Monday, according to a fan post on AP.
