Send a message to the fan base that change is coming swiftly.
If reports of Pioli being a meddling cancer are true, then it removes the cancer.
Maximize time allowed to find a new GM.
If it's possible to hire new GM prior to season end, it would allow them more time to evaluate coaches and get scouting org together.

If the plan is to fire Pioli anyway I can't think of any reason to NOT do it right away.

A sane thought.

The fact that next week is a BYE makes it a little more believeable and extra time to find a new GM.

This is pretty much how I see it. I don't think what happens in Tampa is going to matter much, however. If Clark has made his decision, this is probably the best time to do it. If he hasn't, then look for a late season announcement.
There's a lot of heat on Clark to get Pioli out of there and if he's made the decision to send SP down the road, it'd buy him a lot of goodwill among the fans. The scouts are all under contract and it would be in their best interests to do their job, regardless of who the GM is or isn't. They're not the ones drafting, the GM types are the ones that pull that trigger.

Do it Clark!!!!!!

Clark growing some balls?

I dont think it makes sense to ever fire a GM mid season except for this fact with this case our GM is actually our ****ing head coach behind the curtain.

Firing this idiot GM would mean
1. Coaching staff gets to make gameday rosters (IMAGINE THAT)
2. Coaching staff wont be afraid to make proper substitutions when they see fit. (Pioli clearly forces them to play/keep certain guys on the field)
3. Coaches wont get overruled by play calling (This idiot GM definitely demands certain plays to be run and that's obvious by the first drive being scripted every game)

If he's not here, the coaching staff can actually ****ing... coach without the guy upstairs pretending hes playing Deal or No Deal calling down to Howie ****ing Mandell

god I hate Pioli

Again, this is in the top 3 of worst rumors of CP All time and people are still lapping it up. Cmon guys.

That's only true if the OP is an out-and-out lie. A radio station broadcasting that they have a trusted source feeding them this info actually qualifies as better than a rumor. That being said I still think it's wrong.

I actually hope it's wrong. Not only because I think we'll win, but because it seems like an arbitrary way to make the decision. They can win by 40 or lose by 40 on Sunday, the decision should be the same.

But...what if it's true?

On the surface it's beyond laughable considering how our ownership works.

Will never happen, but it's smart.

The hate that will come after we lose and it doesn't happen will make the fans even more pissed off after the false hope...

Only if people really believe this rumor has a snowballs chance in Florida of being true. People aren't this stupid.

Yeah, the greater percentage of ticket holders are...

I could go either way.

It's obvious a meltdown is underway in Kansas City due to the meglomania inspired incompetence from the GM's office. Candy wrapper gate, Haley, phone taps, the whispers by employees of intimidation, rumors of despotic control (the recent lineup thing), the recent deluge of negative articles by current and former KC jounalists, etc.

Pioli is rapidly losing the team and any respect and clout he might have had with Clark Hunt when he was hired.

There is obviously a revolution brewing. Someone is going to end up on the guillotine. It's just a question of when and whose heads are going to roll. If I'm Clark Hunt, I would nip this sucker in the bud as fast as possible to quickly halt the rapidly developing discontent in the fan base. An interm GM wouldn't be held responsible for anything negative that happens for the rest of the season and it would build the expectations in the fan base for the future of the team as most would perceive a longer, more thought out GM selection as a positive versus a quick replacement fix if Pioli & his synchophants were fired at the end of the season.

Pioli will not only be here at the end of the year he'll be here next year.
