Chatter increases that Pioli could be back in Kansas City

Amazing how clueless the media is.

There’s a loose rule in NFL circles that a traditional General Manager gets to hire two coaches before the G.M. ends up on the hot seat. The Bears broke from that loose standard last year, firing G.M. Jerry Angelo before the only coach Angelo ever hired was let go.

The Chiefs could go the other way this time around, giving G.M. Scott Pioli a third chance to hire a new head coach.

The prevailing rumor in league circles is that first-year coach Romeo Crennel will be replaced, but that Pioli will remain. In 2009, Pioli hired Todd Haley to coach the team. Haley was fired during his third season on the job.

No one knows for sure what owner Clark Hunt will do. He was facing unrelenting pressure from fans and local media to clean house earlier this season. The Jovan Belcher tragedy caused much of the outcry to diminish.

If Hunt keeps Pioli, his mandate will be clear: Find a quarterback. With five Pro Bowlers on a two-win team, there’s no lack of talent at other positions in Kansas City. But Matt Cassel never has matched his performance in 2008, the year he replaced Tom Brady in New England, and it’s impossible to win in this league without someone who can move the chains by flinging the pig.

The bad news for the Chiefs and Pioli is that they’re a year late to earn a top-two pick. There’s no Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III in 2013. Pioli’s best bet could be to take the best available athlete at the top of the draft, and then to make like Trent Baalke or John Schneider and find a franchise quarterback in round two or three.

If Hunt fires Pioli, the talk is that Bill Polian could become the new G.M. in Kansas City. Some suspect, however, that the Polian rumors trace to Polian himself.

Either way, a looming finish of 2-14 shows that changes are needed in Kansas City. The only question is how extensive they’ll be.

The reason to worry is that, if Hunt is considering keeping Pioli, he would float little trial balloons in the media and see what happens. If there is no fan outrage, he keeps Pioli. We need to demonstrate outrage somehow (e.g. picketing Hunt's house, a billboard in KC, letters/posts in blogs, letters to Clark, etc.)

yeah guys, lets picket his house! or we could have a bikini car wash... or... just not show up for games.

In an era with pistol offense, spread offense, this team would be going back to the stone age with Ferentz.

Literally keeping Pioli is the death blow, but keeping Pioli and hiring another tree ****er like Ferentz is just the icing on the cake.

Clark, go **** yourself you weasel one who sucks the penis. Enjoy your 1/5th full Arrowhead.

This would be like setting fire to your house for the insurance money, only to realize, you forgot to renew your policy.

Is Clark really this stupid?

It's actually quite easy. I will be doing it again next year if the Chiefs don't draft a QB in the first round.

@JasonColeYahoo: Heard from a league source that Scott Pioli will survive in KC, but only with significant changes (new coach,QB).

Still photos never say anything. Two seconds later Pioli could have what looks like a frown. Hopeful this is people guessing. We'll find out at the post season press conference.

Gruden, chip Kelly, cowher, and whether you like him or not Andy Reid. This is going to be one of the biggest blue chip coaching offseasons in a long, long time.

And the highest paid asshole is going to be Kirk ferentz.

Guess we can stop making claims that Clark is cheap. If he does this, he's just plain stupid. If you have that money lying around, chip Kelly is all ears.

The Iowa Hawkeye fans will all chip in to get Ferentz a U-Haul.
