Chiefs Chatter increases that Pioli could be back in Kansas City - Page 14

Amazing how clueless the media is.

Quote:

There’s a loose rule in NFL circles that a traditional General Manager gets to hire two coaches before the G.M. ends up on the hot seat. The Bears broke from that loose standard last year, firing G.M. Jerry Angelo before the only coach Angelo ever hired was let go.

The Chiefs could go the other way this time around, giving G.M. Scott Pioli a third chance to hire a new head coach.

The prevailing rumor in league circles is that first-year coach Romeo Crennel will be replaced, but that Pioli will remain. In 2009, Pioli hired Todd Haley to coach the team. Haley was fired during his third season on the job.

No one knows for sure what owner Clark Hunt will do. He was facing unrelenting pressure from fans and local media to clean house earlier this season. The Jovan Belcher tragedy caused much of the outcry to diminish.

If Hunt keeps Pioli, his mandate will be clear: Find a quarterback. With five Pro Bowlers on a two-win team, there’s no lack of talent at other positions in Kansas City. But Matt Cassel never has matched his performance in 2008, the year he replaced Tom Brady in New England, and it’s impossible to win in this league without someone who can move the chains by flinging the pig.

The bad news for the Chiefs and Pioli is that they’re a year late to earn a top-two pick. There’s no Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III in 2013. Pioli’s best bet could be to take the best available athlete at the top of the draft, and then to make like Trent Baalke or John Schneider and find a franchise quarterback in round two or three.

If Hunt fires Pioli, the talk is that Bill Polian could become the new G.M. in Kansas City. Some suspect, however, that the Polian rumors trace to Polian himself.

Either way, a looming finish of 2-14 shows that changes are needed in Kansas City. The only question is how extensive they’ll be.

I think that is too obvious to miss. RAC may be talking retirement to people.

You think Pioli is telling anyone he is out?

Why would it be Pioli's job to tell someone he's out?

I'm trying to sell myself. But it's not like that shitbag pioli hasn't tried to leak stuff in the past when it's politically advantageous. It wouldn't surprise me in the least to we if this is some last ditch effort to sell Clark on the idea that he will promise big changes.

"Hey Bud Adams, I'm done here in KC. Whatcha got for openings?"

You might not love him but you won't be flying banners begging ownership to fire him if you start off 5-2.

He'll have all year to look for a job if he is indeed fired. He'll still be the highest paid GM in football with or without a team.

This is not just a question for just you, but for all those that have stated that they are done with the Chiefs but will still be a poster on this board. A Chiefs related board.

How are you guys going to be able to participate on this board where the subject matter is mostly Chiefs related?

Are you just going to post in the "poop" threads?

I appreciate your frustration and understand the overwhelming "gloom" that has become the Kansas City Chiefs and the emotion that those feelings manifest.

He hates KC as much as KC hates him?

I will be back as a Packers fan full time.

scientific model predicting the results of pioli retaining his job would have on chiefsplanet.

the same simulation's prediction for the CP server.

There's a lot more to this board than just Chiefs. I post on other team's boards that I have no interest in.

There's also a Rams and Chargers fan who posts here pretty regularly and they have no ties to the Chiefs.
