Chiefs Chatter increases that Pioli could be back in Kansas City - Page 5

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.

On KC: Pioli's best to stay w #Chiefs is to bring in #Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz. Hear Iowa coaches are calling around, inquiring about jobs.

If he is back, you can kiss a good first round QB goodbye and yet another shitty draft. What owner in his right mind actually allows a coach to pick 3 head coaches in less than 5 years?

I'm worried as all hell too. The team was very silent when the pioli extension rumors came out. Almost sounded like they did it early in the year but waited for the team to start winning to make the announcement. Something feels fishy.

The good news is, it's a no brainer that Romeo will be fired, but no public announcement yet. If rac is fired and we hear nothing of pioli, it's time to panic.

**** you Ian.

I can't root for another team, but I can definitely stop caring about this one. If he stays the number one pick will be wasted, and we'll probably have it again. I've never understood the Ferentz talk. He's never done a god damn thing to impress me. If this is what Clark chooses to do I won't be making trips to Arrowhead, and will buy nothing Choefs related. Clean house, and ill be right there.

I am gone if Peeholi stays as a fan, as long as he stays.

If true, it's hilarious. The front office is acting like announcing ferentz as head coach will be like the second coming of the Beatles. When in fact the fans will only see ringo.

Clark will probably open the bank up for Ferentz and then tell the dumb fan base that we don't have the money to sign any other free agents because he used it on Ferentz...and most would believe him lol

He had his chance, and he failed miserably. Move on.

Travolta as Pioli.

Cow as fans. Cow as team. Cow as media.

Pepper as Clark. Powerless to do anything.

This

Usually, when this kind of shit comes out the last day of the season it happens. If Pioli isn't fired by tomorrow we are absolutely ****ed.

**The Bad Guy** · 12-30-2012, 09:29 AM

This just blows my mind on a million different levels.

You let this asshole pick ANOTHER COACH? Another coach he's "comfortable with" another coach who's out of touch with reality, and another coach who flat out sucks?

There's a lot of smoke to this. Pioli has done a masterful job of conning Clark into believing he could fix things.

I'm sick over this.

Messier · 12-30-2012, 09:30 AM

I'd be really hard to believe that wholesale changes wouldn't happen after the worst year I can remember. Clark Hunt hopefully is thinking, can I honestly expect Pioli to turn around his own mess? If the answer is, as it should be, no. If you don't make a change now, why bother ever changing? Why give Pioli one two or three more years, and then change? Wasting what I promise will be non winning seasons. Do it now. Hunt can't think Pioli is the man to turn this around.
