My Take on Pioli ...

Yes, it was inevitable that the Chiefs fired Scott Pioli, whose top three decisions in a four-year Chiefs run (hiring Todd Haley, trading for Matt Cassel, hiring Romeo Crennel) all turned out to be wrong. He trusted Cassel a long time, and by the time he knew he needed to get a quarterback, it was too late. He passed on some good prospects, as did many teams (Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick, Russell Wilson); maybe he didn't think outside the box enough at the game's most important position.

And Pioli was too private for his own good in what has become an increasingly public job. When Haley last year implied that Pioli wiretapped his phones, an outrageous and baseless allegation, Pioli let a team statement stand for his response instead of coming out swinging. But the vitriol chasing him out the door was over the top. He's a good man who didn't win enough. The personal attacks I just don't get.

I know Pioli well, and many of you will say, "He's just sticking up for Pioli because he likes him." Well, I have known Pioli for a long time, and yes, I do like him. I like a lot of people I cover. I can see when a man's getting kicked too much, and this is one of those times. Final point for those who believe Pioli left the cupboard bare: Think there's a reason the hottest ex-head coach on the market, Andy Reid, didn't consider any other jobs after he was offered the Kansas City deal?

Andy Reid took the job because he has the top pick in the draft and will have tons of cap room as soon as he drops Cassel and Jackson. He took it because the Chiefs have an awesome running back who fits his scheme and was here before Pioli ever thought of stepping foot around here. Houston is the only pick Pioli can really take credit for for hitting an out of the park type of player. Berry is the only other player he drafted that has been better then average and he was a 5th pick in the draft. Who would have ****ed that pick up? **** Pioli.

Agreed. The filter was cool for about five minutes.

Wait until the Chiefs lose a game or they happen to be 4-6 or something...and King will write something like "See, told ya so Chiefs fans....be careful what you wish for, the grass isnt always greener"

Brace yourselves.

This, it is tiring. It ceased to be funny after a couple of hours. Please mods, fix it.

Where can I contact Peter "Sofa" King?

I have one or two thoughts I want to share with him.

Also, bring back Draft Planet to the main Lounge page

Hopefully since he is gone some of the employees will speak on the record about what was going on. That would be an interesting read.

Would love to read an extensive interview with Denny Thum about his last days with the Chiefs.

4 of our 5 pro-bowlers this year were here BEFORE 'Team-killer' Pioli came to KC. Bowe, Albert, DJ, Hali, Flowers, and Charles, are our biggest player makers, and they were here before 'Team-killer' Pioli. You could also throw in Carr, but 'Team-killer' Pioli let him walk out the door. In that time, 'Team-killer' Pioli drafted Tyson Jackson (third overall), Donatari Powe, Baldwin, and Berry. Only one of those players he drafted is any "good". And it was because it was one of the most obvious choices in the entire draft. We have the talent we have on this team DESPITE Scott Pioli.

The idea that 'Team-killer' Pioli is responsible for the talent level on this team is absolutely laughable! Getting rid of solid good players (Carr, Waters, etc.) while bringing over crappy players (Cassel alone is enough to invoke vomit) means 'Team-killer' Pioli pretty much made us worse, not better. People like Peter King need to face facts when it comes to fat Scott. He utterly failed as a general manager for this team..

They are probably all still a little paranoid and it might take them a while to get used to working in a normal work environment. They might even be able to work with the window shades open now.

This. It's pretty irritating.

I'd love to buy the dude a beer and see what comes up.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 01-07-2013, 10:31 AM

I haven't read the thread, but **** Peter King. Reid didn't want anywhere else because RoboCarl and Herman ****ing Edwards stocked this team for Pioli. Pioli did nothing with it. **** King, and mother**** Pioli!
