ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms the Chiefs will fire coach Romeo Crennel on Monday, but GM Scott Pioli's job is safe for now.

It's worth noting that Profootballtalk.com is reporting Pioli has yet to be informed about his 2013 job status. Crennel has been a successful coordinator, but he's now 28-55 as a head coach with just one winning season in five years. To be fair, Pioli saddled him with a roster that contained zero NFL-caliber starters at quarterback. Despite a 23-40 record in four seasons with the Chiefs, Pioli has long been a favorite of owner Clark Hunt, who now appears to be offering a long leash. As was the case when he first landed in Kansas City, Pioli -- if retained -- will be charged with finding a head coach and a franchise QB this offseason. Under Pioli, the Chiefs are still at square one.

Guy: Good morning Tamba Hali rough season how do you feel about Scott Pioli

Hali: we need to get better on the both sides of the ball. I'm happy for Justin Houston being an alternate for the pro bowl

Guy: So would you want Scott Pioli here in 2013

Hali: I though Bowe had a decent year, Jamaal Charles really stepped up after his injury

Guy: I keep asking you questions about Scott Pioli

Hali: When I was in college I played a lot of video games, Goldeneye for N64 was one of my favorites. I killed Jaws at the end. It was fun.

Me and a buddy were just talking about Goldeneye for the n64 last night. Good game. Memories, man.

Pioli hasn’t learned his fate yet

The fact that the Chiefs already have fired coach Romeo Crennel but not G.M. Scott Pioli doesn’t mean that Pioli is safe.

Per a league source, Pioli has yet to hear from owner Clark Hunt regarding Pioli’s future.

It could be that Hunt decided to fire Crennel first and not Pioli in order to gauge the local reaction to the possibility of Pioli returning. Either way, Hunt has not told Pioli whether Pioli will return for a fifth season on the job.

The Chiefs won the AFC West in 2010, Pioli’s second season on the job. But 2011 was marred by dysfunction, with Pioli and the first coach he hired, Todd Haley, squabbling until Haley was fired. This year, the Chiefs finished a dismal 2-14 in Romeo Crennel’s first full season as head coach.

The fact that the Chiefs have five Pro Bowlers helps Pioli’s case. The 0-for-2 effort when it comes to hiring coaches doesn’t.

Peter King reported during Football Night in America that, if Pioli stays, Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz will not be the next head coach. Though several reporters were speculating that Ferentz finally would be lured back to the NFL to work with his good friend Pioli, Ferentz’s recent track record makes him a hard sell at the next level.

This could be what's going on. Pioli gets to stay but he reduces his role to being Gruden's lacky like he was for the hoody. Which would be a smart move for pioli, because if it pans out he gets another gm shot in 2 years thanks to riding on a coach's coattails once again.

Dayze · 12-31-2012, 08:59 AM

somone email one of these national guys the Pioli Document.

JFC. this should be a no-brainer for Clark.

but of course.....it' the Chiefs, and we do everything ass-backwards anyway.

How? He had nothing to do with any of them. Sure, Berry was on his watch, but dude fell in his lap at #5. Wasn't some shrewd move that brought him here.

Somebody inmem58 trusts.

FloridaMan88 · 12-31-2012, 09:10 AM

What a fiasco.

This trainwreck has been months in the making and Clark apparently has no plan of action in place.

Clark Hunt is a worthless piece of shit as an owner.

A marginal "insider" for NFLN. He's not Schefter or LaCanfora. It wouldn't surprise me if Pioli is feeding him stories.
