Chief's GM targets should be Pailoi or friend of Cowher
Clark Hunt did not end a long-term relationship with Carl Peterson without purpose. The logical conclusion to reach based on Hunt's action is that he has identified two targets to be the next general manager of the Kansas City Chiefs, according Pittsburgh Tribune Review.
There's going to be fierce competition for general managers this offseason. The Detroit Lions dumped Matt Millen early in the season and have had a head start on the Chiefs. The Cleveland Browns might make a move on Phil Savage and be in the market for a GM. Hunt would be foolish to wait to join the race for a personnel difference-maker.
There are two no-brainer options:
1. New England Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli.
2. An experienced front-office executive with strong ties to and the ability to deliver former Steelers coach Bill Cowher.
If Hunt wants to instantly revitalize the Chiefs' organization, restore faith and credibility among his fan base, those are his two options. Something else might very well work in the long run, but we'd have to take a wait-and-see approach.
I think Hunt is zeroed in on landing Pioli or someone who can land Cowher.
He wants to hit his first pitch out of the park.
Pioli or a FOB — friend of Bill's — would be a grand slam.
