PIOLI FIRED
Sports Radio 810 WHB @SportsRadio810
Sports Radio 810 WHB has learned that the Chiefs and Scott Pioli have officially parted ways. Listen to Sports... http://fb.me/1HY3Tgl1a Chiefs, Pioli Part Ways Posted 2 minutes ago PR Staff Kansas City Chiefs Public Relations Official Press Release Email @ChiefsPR KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Friday that the club and General Manager Scott Pioli have mutually agreed to part ways. “After several productive conversations, we made the difficult decision to part ways with Scott Pioli and allow him to pursue other opportunities,” Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said. “Scott has been an invaluable member of the Chiefs family since joining us in 2009, and we sincerely appreciate his tremendous contributions over the last four years. “I know that this was a difficult decision for Scott as well. He has a great deal of appreciation for the history of this franchise, for our players, coaches and employees, and especially our great fans. “There is no way to overstate the level of respect and admiration I have for Scott on a personal level. His character, loyalty, integrity and commitment to a team are extraordinary, and throughout the last four years, he has consistently put the best interests of the Chiefs ahead of his own. I know he will go on to enjoy further success in the National Football League, and I certainly wish him the best in the future.” Pioli, 47, was named the Chiefs General Manager on Jan. 13, 2009 and has served in that position for four seasons. During his stint with the Chiefs, the club earned its first division title and home playoff appearance since 2003 and Pioli earned NFL Executive of the Year honors from national media outlets in 2010. Pioli released the below statement on parting ways with the club: “I would like to thank Norma, Clark and the Hunt Family for the opportunity that they gave me four years ago. I’d also like to thank the players, coaches, scouts and countless other employees, throughout the organization and at Arrowhead Stadium that have worked so hard during my time here. I would also like to genuinely thank Chiefs fans. “The bottom line is that I did not accomplish all of what I set out to do. To the Hunt family – to the great fans of the Kansas City Chiefs – to the players, all employees and alumni, I truly apologize for not getting the job done.” Please contact Ted Crews in the Chiefs Communications department with any questions or inquiries.

Clark Hunt has become Michael Corleone right before our eyes. He saw a mother****er who needed to be whacked, and did it.

Oh, and I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that SOC played a huge part in this glorious day coming to pass. Gentlemen, take a bow.

I thought this was a parody thread. I mean, he signed an extension and there was no way he'd ever be let go.

Farewell (sort of)
Well ladies and gents, you got what you wanted. Through all the sweat and tears you did it. I was glad to be here to witness such passion and dedication and will take that with me as I am now going to the Jaguars forum to show those fans a taste of what you guys displayed for the year and 4 months I was here. We both got what we wanted in our GMs being fired. I'm going to post significantly less and will most likely lurk. Now that hope has been rekindled in the Jags organization, I can actually consider them to be contenders in the AFC as a whole, meaning contenders with the Chiefs. Maybe we'll see you guys in an AFC Championship game down the road. But it has been fun and if I wasn't born in Jacksonville I would have definitely picked up the Chiefs as my NFL team. Classy, intelligent people with years of wisdom (yes a bunch of yall are old). Your demons are gone and sky is really the limit with yall. I'll definitely keep watching your games if I can and rooting for you guys. It's been a lot of ups and downs and I think mot of you guys hate me, but I always liked all of you. Congratulation again. May both our franchises succeed in the near future!

You're still not getting Geno though.
We're not friends.
