While in Kansas City, he will meet with the Chiefs staff. There are about 180 employees who keep the organization running. Pioli will be responsible for the football operations and will report directly to Clark Hunt.

Pioli will formally be introduced during a news conference at the Chiefs Administrative facility at 5 p.m.(Central time) Wednesday.

Started this thread with my 17,000 post. I need a life.

This is Scott celebrating that this is his town now.

I wonder if this Nick Wright guy looks like he has down syndrome.

You're too kind. I have never called into a show even though I have wanted to many times

Congratulations on the Pioli hire.

The only way I see him retaining Herm is if the plan is to ensure another year of high draft picks and then make Herm the fall guy. That would give Pioli two drafts to build a solid foundation and a year to gain experience as a GM. Doesn't taste too good right now, but it might be worth it.

In all likelihood Pioli is just being politically correct and will give Herm a chance to save face and make a deal with Clark to do the honorable thing and resign.

Herm, being the weasel that he is, will hang on for the full 3 million he'll receive if he's terminated, then he will use his press contacts to play the race card . Good riddance!

Hey - if Pioli is REALLY good he will trade Herm for a draft pick. Nahh - no one could be stupid enough to give up a valuable draft pick for Herm.

Again - great pickup for the Chiefs and a 99.999% probability that Herm will be gone very shortly.

thanks for the back-handed compliments troll.

I don't see Herman and Scott working together effectively. Scott is the straight-A, distinguished-honors student, and Herman is the barely passing regular core plan student. Herman doesn't see things for what they really are; He cannot see past the surface. Conversely, Scott seems to already see the Chiefs for what they are - a wreck, for top to bottom, including the front office. Herman does have passion for what he does, and I do believe that he gave his best effort in KC. But Herman's style is old; His conservative nature represents the old league. The new NFL is a complex organization with high-powered people controlling it, and thousands of smaller people running it. The coaches that are most effective are the ones who are innovative and willing to change. Good football teams change every season because that's what is needed to win consistently. Scott recognizes that, and I believe he work toward modernizing the Chiefs, starting by selecting a new head coach.

I have 5 posts since 2006, not exactly a troll. The compliments weren't meant to be back handed. The trade remark was a joke at King Carls expense.

The Chiefs made a great pickup in Pioli and he'll surely rid the organization of Herm in short order.

.500 could win the west next year - it did this one.
