Schefter: Chiefs mulling big change
December, 30, 2012
DEC 30 1:50PM ET
By Bill Williamson | ESPN.com

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday that he expects the Kansas City Chiefs to fire coach Romeo Crennel.

As for general manager Scott Pioli, Schefter reports the Chiefs -- mired in a miserable 2-13 season -- are leaning toward firing Pioli.

If I had to guess, I’d say both Crennel and Pioli are going to be fired. They are a package deal. I think if the Hunt family had its druthers, it would give both men another chance. But the fan fury is so great in Kansas City, I think the Hunts will be compelled to make a move.

I don’t think firing one of the two and keeping the other will work.

Pioli has hired two coaches -- Todd Haley and Crennel -- since joining the Chiefs in 2009. I don’t necessarily think he will get a chance to hire a third. If that is what is the case, I think the Chiefs will likely make a clean sweep and hire a new general manager (Bill Polian, anyone?) first and then a head coach.

We shall soon see. I don’t think the Hunts will wait long before making a decision.

I have to believe that Clark will fire Pioli.

Clark cannot be so stupid as to bring him back.

we need to lose for the draft pick but who gets fired is not going to be decided by this last game. Imo.

It's Adam's opinion guys .......... nothing more.

At the same time here is Jason Cole ...

Heard from a league source last night that Scott Pioli will survive in KC, but only with significant changes (new coach, new QB). We'll see.

So who really knows?

Here's what I've been told. You can believe, not believe, I don't give a shit. I like most of you so I'll put it out there. Just know that my source isn't a janitor, a friend of a friend of a friend, it's someone directly connected with someone high up in the front office.

I posted last night that Clark has a basic man crush on Pioli. That's never wavered. Clark is of the opinion that a QB and a new shiny HC will spark the fanbase (which he's 100% wrong about). Pioli has done a master sales job, but Clark breaking up with him basically was a huge long shot.

The real, real shitty part is that not only is he going to be back for 2013, but to attract any HC candidates, Clark knows that he's going to have to lock Pioli is to an extension the length of the contract the HC signs.

That's the death blow to all of this.

Pioli's not only going to be here for 2013, but baring a miracle here at a minimum of 2 years after that.

Now obviously none of this is set in stone, people can miscommunicate information, but this is what I've been told as of 15 minutes ago. Believe at your own risk.

The misinfo out there about all of this is crazy. I'm holding out hope it's false, but the tea leaves are all pointing to this being real and that the ****ing fat meathead is back again.

He's going to go on a media ass kissing circuit like he did last year to try to portray himself as a nice guy. I can tell you that other people that work in that front office (not the source of my info) were praying he'd be fired.

Clark just loves the money Pioli makes for him and he truly believes Pioli was mostly the brains behind the Pats titles.

I want to throw up.

I can see that happening

Coaches are gone

Pioli might survive if he agreed to clean house and promise to go all-out on a QB.

Just WTF would Clark let the guy who picked Cassel and Quinn (and Stanzi) as his QBs and Haley and Crennel as his coaches ... make yet one more round of those picks?

JFC ... "I'm confident you'll eventually get it right, Scott."

Not to change the subject, but of all the King Kong movies, I think Peter Jackson's is the best. Mainly because I like the big monkey's taste in blonds in that one.

He has generally good info. I think he was given bad info there.

okcchief · 12-30-2012, 02:24 PM

I'm not feeling good about this at ****ing all. The big thing here is no one is saying Pioli is gone for sure. I seriously don't know how extreme my reaction will be if they keep this asshole.

In58men · 12-30-2012, 02:24 PM

From Barry lol:

HEY PIOLI................I have an IDEA for ya????????? TRY THIS. It's a GUARANTEED WIN WIN scenario for you. Go After Josh McDaniels for your head coach, and go out spend 10 Million dollars ( BARGAIN ) on Mike Vick. Owners WIN. FANS Win. Everybody is happy. Seats are FILLED come opening day. Let McDaniels play with his new QB, by allowing him to be MIKE VICK instead of making him take every snap under center. There is your formula to save face with the fans. YOUR WELCOME. And I expect a ****ing Bonus.

Your source also told you that Pioli had signed an extension back during Bucs week.

Which wasn't true.

An extension was offered only to lower the buyout.

2007, with Jared Allen & Tony G, the team went 4 - 12 during an ugly season for the franchise.

Clark Hunt did nothing. Carl Peterson remained while it was clearly his fault.

Carl traded Jared Allen. Still, nothing from Clark.

Nothing.
