Clark Hunt wanted to keep Scott Pioli
Expect Little From “Media” Member Pioli
June 20, 2013 - Bob Gretz | Comments (14) It happened near the end of the disastrous 2012 Chiefs season. Whether the moment came during a face-to-face meeting or over a conference call isn’t known. But the key members of the Hunt Family football franchise took a vote. The voters numbered six, including Lamar Jr., Sharron, Clark and Daniel Hunt – all four of the team’s owners. Also part of the moment was Lee Derrough, former president & CEO of Hunt Midwest Enterprises and now a trustee of the Lamar Hunt and family interests in Kansas City. The sixth person involved was team president Mark Donovan. The subject was the future of Scott Pioli as the franchise’s general manager. How much discussion, if any, that went on is not clear. What is known is that a vote was taken on whether to keep Pioli, or fire him after four years in charge of the Chiefs. The vote was 5-1, in favor of dumping Pioli. The only vote in his favor came from Clark Hunt. …Read More! http://www.bobgretz.com/ |

Kevin Keitzman, to my knowledge, isn't barred from attending press conferences at Arrowhead- and he's been making up shit for years. I mean, we're still waiting for the damned cell phone to ring with information that "will shake the NFL to its foundations". |

Fanning the flames of fans' scooter angst in an attempt to boost membership. Or he got bad info.

I thought the choice to keep or fire Pioli had been given to Andy Reid?

Be very afraid of this statement.

JFC if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck.. clark has not shown anything but incompetence to me. "A" for effort, I guess. Kevin Keitzman is not a football mind in my book, he's not even in Gretz' area code for all things football.

I like that Mark Donovan turned his back on Scooter, and essentially we probably have Mark Donovan to thank for talking in Clark's ear for his buddy Andy Reid. So unsung hero of it all where are all things considered today might go to him.

Mark Donovan was like the inside man for SOC.
I'd like to send him a care package.

I wouldn't "sing" about anything Chiefs just yet. Jamaal & Bowe -- that we know we got. The defense can be up & down, but tends to get going later as the season rolls, but without offense ... yadayadayada. they have the best QB group since trINT & co, so there's that. If they can get 2/3's trINT from Alex Smurf then we'll see a 9 - 6 team and maybe a post season "that was awful" performance. You know. The usual Chiefs "good season".
