KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) -
Chiefs fans are excitedly buzzing about whether team owner Clark Hunt is preparing to offer former coach Marty Schottenheimer the general manager position or get his help on reversing the team's declining fortunes.

SiriusXM NFL Radio reported that Schottenheimer was at Arrowhead Stadium on Friday to meet with Hunt, who is in Kansas City. This set Chiefs fans on Twitter and Facebook afire.

The team flatly denies that Schottenheimer was at the practice facility today.

However, left unclear was whether Schottenheimer and Hunt met at a different location, met earlier this week or whether they have a meeting later this week.

General Manager Scott Pioli is under fire after the Chiefs 1-7 start and a disappointing four-year tenure in Kansas City after he left the New England Patriots.

Tell us what you think. Should the Chiefs bring back "Martyball" or hire Schottenheimer as a consultant? Go to

They actually meant that Clark met with Marty from SOC.

Romeo and Fat Scott are the Chiefs best chance to land the #1 overall pick.

Keep them through the end of the season.

And bringing back some passion for our rivalry games!

I would like Marty.if he was a winner or a solid talent evaluator. But he's not. So he can pound sand.

I Have been calling for Peeholi's head since Candy gate. I would only want Marty as a temp solution this year. I only want change and wins.

I am no Marty lover, by any means....but I feel like there are few misnomers being perpetuated about the last few years of Marty's career:

1) He no longer was "Martyball" in San Diego....they threw the ball all over the place....he made "liberal" decisions on field position, 4th downs, etc.

2) The playoff losses in San Diego were not really his fault. Especially the New England "interception" game. If the DB falls on the ground after the late INT, rather than trying to run it back and fumbling it back to NE...the chargers probably go on to upset Brady and company.

One thing I always liked about Marty - that Pioli's reign has failed to do:

1) players always played hard for Marty
2) Marty had his teams prepared (none of this outscored 100-0 in the 1st quarter crap)


That all said, Marty is cursed....his schtick wouldnt be fresh here....and it's time to create the "chiefs way", and find the next big thing on our own.

Funny, ESPN just railed on the Cowboys for having a team that's a "country club" and, since JJ, nobody fears the HC because the owner is too involved. The problem with that segment is they didn't juxtapose that "deal" with, let's say, the Chiefs. Who in KC fears the HC (because our owner never shows his face)? Perhaps all "their" owner does is show his face. Ours hides, but hires people who get worse results! So don't blame the owner for being visible, or being involved, because if that's true, explain Cuban's success as an owner than. They make is too simple.. It's simple, owners hire GM who have to win, or they know they're gone. GMs hire HCs, and other coaches, who know they have to win, or they're gone. And GMs find a way to give those coaches, perhaps in concert with those coaches, to get the job done in their system. HCs and coaches bring in players who know that they must get on the field and win, or they're gone.

NO FIVE YEAR PLANS! Two, maybe three!

I think Marty is a good leader but he is NOT a champion. Mr. Hunt please be innovative.

Bring in real change. Have a goal/dream. Be realistic and go after whom ever shares your ideas!

you were on a roll......until the last sentence.

NO - we DONT want a GM who shares Clark's mission statement (fill seats).

We want a GM and HC who want to win championships.

Again, it's not uncommon for Clark (and in his time Lamar) to meet with coaches they've worked with and respected before making a decision.

Lamar met with Marty and DV many times after Marty had resigned.

DV has been around the Chiefs long before and after he coached here as a bug in the owner's ear.

This is not a bad thing.

Marty will not be coaching here.

It's Lamar/Clark seeking advice on the next decision...

[ncCHIEFfan]

I don't think Clark is trying to bring Marty in for GM/Coaching purposes. If Clark is going to

continue to be an NFL team owner he needs to have his own ideas about on the field

success. Growing up with Lamar and he still does not have his own KC Chiefs ideas

( not about money side of the business) then he needs to sell out. I am sure he can make a nice profit that way.

Chunt already knows that if bringing a championship to this city is his goal, then selling to a "football savvy" owner is the fastest way to get to that goal. Yeah 610-types, I said "football" type person. If you don't know what that means relative to each person in the organization, move over to K-Love and admit that you're out of ideas and chose to argue what being a "football person" means!

That being typed, I liken Chunt's quandary to that of a lottery winner. Is he OK with a lot of money really fast, albeit less than what he could accumulate over time, or does he want less annually, but have it for a lifetime. I think he learned that the latter is what best for him. He's going to fail at almost everything he tries to do since he's a silver spoon/trust fund brat type, so the less-but-steady approach is prolly best for him.

Lost in that quandary is any real desire to work hard enough and be "boss" or "owner" enough, to be "mean" enough, to be professional enough and demand performance at all levels of the organization, starting with himself. Other than seeing a bunch of muscle-men on the field (not Eris Winston - he's a weak ass girl-****y!), and one side of muscle-men are trying to run this not-round ball to the other end. IOW I'm not sure he knows a lot about the game itself. Hey, he gets great seats, some super-awesome trips to meet with real owners who loved his dad, and many folks back at the office even suck up to him because some other guy he hired write checks for them! But they laugh at him as soon as he leaves the room.
