Update from @mortreport: Cards visit with Andy Reid is off, Chiefs have not scheduled other visits with candidates, hoping to wrap deal Fri.

What's hilarious about this scenario?

The ONLY thing that would be more damaging to the STH base than keeping Pioli outright is to come out and say the things Clark said and THEN keep Pioli.

People need to get a grip.

Wow

Vermeil for OC???

It is not out of the realm of possibility and Clark never did say that Pioli would be fired. He left himself an out...

KK's show is the reason our fanbase is effed up and Petro doesn't help either. They are crazy half the time and it makes you wonder what they are actually watching or following? They feed the true fans and when even the biggest nay sayers start agreeing with the franchise, they flip roles.

I'm concerned that the Colts improvement this year has had more to do with Andrew Luck and rallying around Pagano than Bruce Arians.

I guess if you could give him a cause to rally around, OK.

I just think this season for Indy has been a perfect storm that cannot be sustained.

That's fair. A little dark, but fair.

That said, I see him as the second best head coaching candidate behind Reid this offseason. I wouldn't be crushed if he signed a 3 year deal with the Chiefs. His offenses have always performed, even with Rothlisberger's "unique" style.

They're just spewing bullshit to rile the fanbase up. It's the only way people will stay tuned into them.

First of all, I should have been more clear - these guys are basically discussing Clark keeping Pioli IN HIS EXISTING CAPACITY. They're talking about not only him staying in KC, but remaining in CHARGE.

Dude, he said that he was going to hire a head coach and he and the coach would decide Pioli's fate.

If he's already decided to keep Pioli and let him call the shots, Clark lied to us. The stadium won't be half empty, it will be COMPLETELY empty.

Maybe we can get McNabb as our QB also. Oh wait...the Eagles suck.

[ChiefMojo]

That is true but just pisses me off... there is a reason it takes a lot for many in our fanbase to see the light. This type of BS is the reason but I do understand what they are trying to do.

[mcaj22]

so when he hires a head coach that decides to keep Pioli?

you still lose

there's only two scenarios here

1) Clark hires a full control HC that hates Pioli

2) Clark hires a nobody HC that keeps Pioli because the guy is probably connected to him or Father in Law Parcells


don't just assume that a new HC means NO Pioli. It's probably 50/50 at this point

Imagine if they hired Ferentz?

The traveling road show visits Philly? Yawn. All for show.

Who is assuming that?

The report is they are meeting in Pennsylvania. Vermeil still has a place there, a connection to the Eagles and Chiefs, and an affinity for Reid. I believe he's considered a family friend of both the Hunts and Reids. I think he could only help matters.

The sports media in this town, surprisingly, doesn't spend a lot of time following sports. At least the 810 guys are always doing other things. When they talk sports details, with the exception of Petro most of the time, they know less than almost anyone here. They are horribly misinformed, and somehow, they only take calls from people who know less than they do.
