We had layoffs today. Should I be worried about tomorrow?

What about the guy from the Packers? Is there any truth to that rumor that we are interested in him? I am all about picking from that franchise.

Heckert was responsible for a lot of the Browns defensive talent, including Haden. Also got Richardson and did at least make an effort to get RG3. Most blame Weeden on Holgrem.

safe to say, Fat Scott won't have a meeting with the Bobs

Layoffs on a Thursday? That's kinda weird.

If we do this right, in 2015 we are going to own this division.

Giggity.

Gotta give Clark credit for being this aggressive. He sounded as angry as we all were on Monday, but when I heard Pioli was in the interviews I started to feel sick. Even if Reid is a disaster I won't blame him. This is one of the best options available even if getting here was way unorthodox.

lol

I do expect a News Conference from the Chiefs tomorrow morning. I plan on having my popcorn popped and drink in hand as well as my whistle to celebrate when Mr. Hunt informs everyone that Pioli has indeed, been set free. (look out world)

-They have to figure out how they are going about terminating Pioli. As many reported earlier today, Pioli has final say in all football operations written into his contract. Clark can't break that deal. They are trying to negotiate a buyout and let him go wherever he wants, but obviously Pioli wants all of the money. He did get a 2 year extension earlier around the time I got the info that the extension was happening.

-Tom Heckert is in demand and Andy may just elect to either wait for the Packers to be out (may be waiting a while) or he could entertain Ray Farmer in the role. There's some connection between Farmer and Reid that I can't link but they say they have a fondness for each other.

-Doug Pederson as QB coach, Castillo at OL, Bobby April as ST coach. Haven't heard a thing about RB or WR. He likely will bring Melvin the TE coach too. The only coach that has a chance to stick is Otis Smith as secondary coach, but that will be determined by DC. As I said earlier the Kiffin smoke was quickly put out, Ray Horton would be ideal, but they aren't going to wait around on him either to see if he gets another job. Dick Jauron is the new flavor of the hour as a guy linked to the DC job with Reid.

-Reid is going to completely overhaul the organization. He's bringing in his guys in every facet. Scouts, equipment managers, trainers, strength people. All will be Reid's guys.

-Shurmur or Childress will be O-coordinator. Varying opinions on who it would be. Me personally, I think Childress is it.

-Reid wants a 5 year deal. Chiefs, in standard fashion, offered 3. They'll get to 5 years around 38 mill when it's all said and done.

-Clark Hunt has done a masterful job taking back control of his franchise over that ****ing weasel Pioli.

Ray Farmer played in Phladelphia from 1996-98. Reid's first season was 1999, Maybe it's just a Philly thing.

Otis Smith is currently the Defensive Quality control coach. Chiefs and NFL HOFer Emmitt Thomas is currently the secondary coach. So we are just speculating the promotion?

I'm telling you what I was told. There's very little speculation on my part in the entire post.

Otis Smith also was a coach with Reid in Philly at one point.
