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!

and here we thought Clark Hunt was the ****ing man. The HNIC that isn't gonna allow to see his fathers team go down in flames any longer. Gifs were put up with Clark Hunt and sunglasses looking like a boss. I don't get it though, why did he want to keep Pioli? WTF?

The thought infuriates me. I'm so glad both of those pole smokers are out of here.

I completely believe Gretz. He was very well liked and still maintains a ton of connections from his time with the Chiefs.

Also, he hates Mitch, because Mitch pulled the "him or me" card to Carl when Gretz openly disagreed with him on air once, got Bob fired from the Chiefs. A ton of people thought it was bullshit, and Mitch has many a frenemy in the Chiefs organization (people who hate his guts, but pretend to like him).

Just a little background on Bob. He has lots of connections still, and is well liked within the walls of Arrowhead.

In that situation, is it really that surprising that he would vote in favor of his multi-year colleague as a gesture of good faith?

Exactly. Gave him the ability to pull the "I did everything I could but it was out of my hands" card with Pioli so they could stay good buddies. It's just politics.

2013 and money still can't buy you a penis. What's the point? Just give it all to the poor.

I guess Lamar didn't get his money's worth for sending Clark to SMU.

We should all be thanking him and Vermeil. Without them, Reid is not here right now.

Can't blame him really, Scott did a decent job other than connecting with the common fan.
