Scott Pioli Head Coach Watch Thread

[DaWolf]

Who will our new GM hire?

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3830515

New England Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli has agreed to become head of football operations for the Kansas City Chiefs, two NFL sources confirmed to ESPN's Michael Smith.

NFL.com Video
Herm Edwards recaps the Chiefs' 2008 season and addresses his status with the organization.
Pioli was seen packing up his office Tuesday afternoon, a Patriots source said.
The decision to hire Pioli likely means Herman Edwards will not be back as Chiefs head coach next season. Among the top candidates to succeed Edwards is New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio will replace Pioli as vice president of player personnel, league sources told ESPN.
Pioli, 43, has been with the Patriots for nine years.
Pioli should find a warm welcome in Kansas City. At the last Chiefs home game, shortly after the embattled Carl Peterson resigned after 20 years as president, general manager and CEO, several signs were spotted in the crowd proclaiming, "We want Pioli."

Apologize for what?

[oaklandhater]

Herm final hour is at hand!!!!!

[CupidStunt]

Steve Spagnuolo please. Let all the great "interviewees" go elsewhere while we get a guy who can actually, you know, COACH FOOTBALL.

If not him, just someone with proven scheming ability (preferably on defense) and a set of balls.

[BigRedChief]

But Clark got it right.:clap:

[Thig Lyfe]

Okay gang,

/obligatory

[the Talking Can]

duh

didn't read post

[Hammock Parties]

The Chiefs have a 43-year old owner and a 43-year old GM.

I think we need an experienced head coach.

[Shag]

610's sports update between segments is saying that Spags (Giants) is a possible candidate, but they haven't sourced it..

The ESPN link added that tidbit, as well...

Ratpioli has a nice ring to it.

[DaFace]

I'm confused. What about this thread could possibly be construed as being misleading?

Like Romeo Crennel!

[EyePod]

Go to the PIoli Signed thread. The ESPN article says Spags is the leading candidate!!!!!!!!

Who's your pick?

[DaWolf]

haahaa.. I hadn't noticed Pioli was hired yet. LMAO.

LOL, no worries. I just thought some sort of protocol had been established here without my knowledge on the creation of "watch" threads, so I didn't want to screw with board etiquette unwittingly... :)

[BigRedChief]

haahaa.. I hadn't noticed Pioli was hired yet. LMAO.
Man you need to get on facebook or something.

[RealSNR]

Who's your pick?How about Marv Levy?

[chief52]

Spagnuolo (pronounced SPAG-no-low)

[MGRS13]

Who's your pick?

I don't care as long as its Pioli's guy and Clark and Thum keep thier noses out of it. Just shut up and sign the checks and let the man work.

[Donger]

Spagnuolo (pronounced SPAG-no-low)

Is that right? I would have guessed SPAG NEW O LOW

[Brock]

OH GOD NO!! MORE WAITING

[chief52]

Is that right? I would have guessed SPAG NEW O LOW

Surprised me too. Cut and pasted it right off the Giants site.

[Hammock Parties]

Who's your pick?

I take it there aren't many Italians where you live?

[DaWolf]

LOL, you want experience?

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/9069608/Second-guesses:-Why-not-hire-Jim-Johnson?-
:D

I have a feeling that right now, Chiefs fans don't care who it is as long as it isn't Herm or Gunther...

[RedThat]

Gimme Spags he knows how to coach defense!! something this team hasn't had in a long long time.

[Donger]

I take it there aren't many Italians where you live?

Just one. The wife is of Italian ancestry.

[KC Dan]

I can't think of a more banable offense as posting this f'n pic of ratboy.

[Hammock Parties]

Shanahan is my dream coach but I won't cry if we get Spagnuolo.

[BigRedChief]

Doesn't matter to me. Whoever he hires I'm going to trust is the right guy.
Pioli's got a proven track record of evaluating talent. He's been a coach on offense and defense in college. He's played the game. Been in a front office for years watching how Bellicheck works his magic (or maybe Scott was also a creator or helped create that magic?) some of that has to sunk in over the years.

[MGRS13]

Shanahan is my dream coach but I won't cry if we get Spagnuolo.Why don't you have an "I welch on every bet" sig yet? Or at least an I heart philip rivers one?

[Hammock Parties]

Why don't you have an "I welch on every bet" sig yet? Or at least an I heart philip rivers one?

Because Buck hasn't given me one.

[MOhillbilly]

The NFL is a young mans game.

[Ultra Peanut]

Spagnuolo (pronounced SPAG-no-low)Don't bother. If we hire him, 80% of the people here are going to call him Spagnola no matter how much the 20% complains.

[Deberg_1990]

Pioli is going to hire someone hes familiar with isnt he?

Romeo Crennel

[Brock]

WTF IS TAKING SO LONG COME ON PIOLI

[Chiefshrink]

Bring me Steve spagwhateveryouspellit as our new HC please.

This NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

[Micjones]

Steve Spagnuolo or Jim Schwartz for my money.

[raybec 4]

Kirk Ferentz come on down....
or Marty..
or Cowher..

I gotta say if he hires any of these fucksticks I would just as soon have not signed Pioli.

[FringeNC]

I think it's going to be Ferentz. When you listen to Belichick and Pioli discuss the operation of the Pats, they always took about what good friends they are, how they are on the same page, that each has a veto right for draft picks, etc. I think Pioli is going to try to recreate that in KC with his good buddy Ferentz.

[KC Dan]

This is what I say, make it happen Scott:

[Nero's Neptune]

Steve Spagnuolo or Jim Schwartz for my money.

SOunds good to me. It will be up to whomever gets the job to hire the other coaches...but I have to think if it's a Defense-first guy, that they would give Chan Gailey serious consideration for O-coordinator...he's experienced and can run the show on that side of the ball....could be a good thing.

[Frankie]

I haven't been keeping up with the history of banning going on, but if this thread is a bannable offense, I apologize and someone please delete this thread...

WHAT IS THIS? THE SOVIET UNION?

[Brock]

DAMMIT WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG

[kcfanintitanhell]

Does anyone remember how long after Lamar signed CP that Gansz was kicking horse turds down the road?

[Frankie]

No call for Ron Rivera?

[KChiefs1]

Jim Schwartz

[kcfanintitanhell]

For anyone curious about the Kirk Ferentz possibility, here's an article from the Iowa City paper.....not a whole lot of yea or nay, but it's an article.

DON’T COUNT ON SCHWARTZ-PIOLI PAIRING (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/01/13/dont-count-on-schwartz-pioli-pairing/)

Posted by Mike Florio on January 13, 2009, 8:43 p.m. EST
In response to a suggestion in some circles that new Chiefs G.M. Scott Pioli might pursue Titans defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz to become the new head coach of the team, a league source tells us that it will not be happening.
Per the source, Pioli and Schwartz “despise each other.”
Though Schwartz looks to be the favorite for the Lions job, his camp could be floating the possibility of Kansas City hiring Schwartz in order to squeeze Detroit into hiring him prematurely and/or giving him a better deal.
That said, it’s our understanding that the Chiefs are not and will not be an option for him.
