How confident are you that Pioli is gone?

[pr_capone]

What does your gut tell you? Gone for good or back next year?

[Jerm]

I'm still fairly optimistic because I just refuse to believe that Clark is that damn stupid...having said that, I got a bad feeling....

[Molitoth]

Honestly I think he's been extended when the original report came out, and then it was damage control.

[Coach]

I'm still fairly optimistic because I just refuse to believe that Clark is that damn stupid...having said that, I got a bad feeling....

Likewise.

[siberian khatru]

Right now I'm 50/50.

[jd1020]

Brain says gone.

Gut says retained.

Too many reports saying so and with this meeting scheduled for tomorrow its not looking good.

[Rain Man]

I really think it's a 50/50 deal. I have no read at all on the situation.

[Mr. Laz]

40/60


40% chance he stays ... been saying it for months

[BossChief]

I think that the meeting tomorrow will be to fire him.

[BlackHelicopters]

ChUNT is smart. He will do the right thing.

[Old Dog]

Think he's gone....70/30

[Reaper16]

I'm very confident that he's fired. Very confident. I just don't see how he can be retained.

But mostly because I don't want to think about the reality of me being done with the NFL, which will happen (until Clark is no longer owner) if Pioli is retained.

[Bugeater]

Not confident enough...

[BryanBusby]

Not at all, sadly. The Chiefs are very capable of going full retard.

[Canofbier]

I'd give it about a 65% chance of Pioli being fired. Regardless of how Hunt feels personally, the fans have made it crystal clear that they want Pioli gone.

[hometeam]

I have to think hes fired. But, I won't be surprised if he stays. Why? because KC has a history of doing EVERY THING WRONG.

[FAX]

Sorry, but I cannot vote under those terms, Mr. pr_capone. Right now, I'm stuck somewhere in the middle.

FAX

[ChiefsCountry]

I'm pretty confident he will be gone, the reason I say that is the main media guys that would break this haven't said jack shit about it. The New England hand job givers in the media would have been all over this if he was staying IMO.

[FlaChief58]

I just can't see Clark making such a huge mistake in keeping him

[Brock]

When was the last time this team did anything that makes sense?

[rockymtnchief]

If they keep it close today, he stays. If KC gets curbed stomped AGAIN, Chunt will consider it after counting his money.

[suds79]

What I find more interesting is how some planet members are already beginning to put up the defense mechanisms.

`well what if we have a new Gm and qb?`

No. Quit lying to yourselves. It will not be OK if Scott is back. Game over.

[Dayze]

FIred. Staying will cost Hunt too much money in lack of ticket sales, parking, concessions etc

[BigMeatballDave]

I WAS confidant he was gone.

Now, in light of today's intel, not so much.

[cabletech94]

20/20. right about now.












i shouldn't joke right now. too many "positive" reports.

[Archie Bunker]

Was confident till the past 24 hrs, now not so much. Afraid Pioli has convinced Clark that its everyone else's fault.

[ChiefsCountry]

When was the last time this team did anything that makes sense?

2008.
Great draft, fired Carl.

2009 was the darkest year in Chiefs history.

[Mr. Laz]

2008.
Great draft, fired Carl.

2009 was the darkest year in Chiefs history.
ChiefsCountry wanted to keep Carl Peterson


wow, how does that Peterson dick taste?

[ChiefsCountry]

ChiefsCountry wanted to keep Carl Peterson


wow, how does that Peterson dick taste?

Yeah I wanted to keep Carl Peterson. ROFL When I actively wanted DeCosta out of Baltimore. Go fist yourself and go masterbait to Pioli pictures you cocksucker.

[milkman]

When was the last time this team did anything that makes sense?

1970.

[petegz28]

Not confident at all. Pretty sure Pioli is here for the next few years at least.

[Shag]

I think he's retained. Hopefully, just battered fan syndrome, but I won't believe it until it happens...

[Sanka]

Losing confidence that he will be canned

[|Zach|]

Don't even care.

[Hammock Parties]

Don't even care.

Turn in your fan card, then.

[New World Order]

He's fired.

[Marcellus]

Don't even care.

I always thought you were kind of a gutless pussy, thanks for clearing up any doubt.

Don't even care, JFC.

[Buehler445]

Retained.

God hates me.

[Bump]

I'd bet he stays. Clark probably considers it work finding a replacement and I bet he wants to avoid that.

[New World Order]

Pioli will be fired then hit by a commuter train.

Win Win.

[DaFace]

I'd love to answer the question in the thread title, but the poll is a completely different question. Sad.

[Buehler445]

I'd love to answer the question in the thread title, but the poll is a completely different question. Sad.

LOL

Poll snob. :D

[Munson]

60/40 that he's fired.

He should've been canned weeks ago.

[DaFace]

LOL

Poll snob. :D

It's a major pet peeve of mine. I refuse to participate when people do that.

[Phobia]

The Chiefs are the Chiefs. They'll do whatever is the shittiest solution. Always. Except for maybe 40 years ago.

[Bambi]

He's staying. Romeo is gone. The 5 "pro bowls" saved him.

[DTHOF]

I'm still fairly optimistic because I just refuse to believe that Clark is that damn stupid...having said that, I got a bad feeling....

This....

[threebag]

I don't want the motherfucker back at all but I am sure he will be for some fucked up reason.

[BigMeatballDave]

He's staying. Romeo is gone. The 5 "pro bowls" saved him.

He only drafted one of them.

[DTHOF]

He's staying. Romeo is gone. The 5 "pro bowls" saved him.

5 pro bowlers and only one of them is one of his guys and definitely the least deserving.

[threebag]

I would have rather kept Haley the first time and cut ties with fucking Pioli then.

[Bambi]

I take back my previous post. That muther fucking trash is fired.

[Coach]

I'm not confident like an antelope wearing night vision goggles.....

[BigRedChief]

What does your gut tell you? Gone for good or back next year?According to Marty Mac and Bad Guy's sources, Pioli and Crennel were told that they would not be back next year after the Oakland game.

That doesn't jive with Glazers report that Pioli and Hunt are meeting on Monday. Glazer is pretty solid with his info. Why are Pioli and Hunt meeting if its a done deal?

I never bought the first part. I don't see any point in telling them they're not coming back - just fire them at that point, if it's the case. There's zero point in that.

[Bewbies]

We have the dumbest owner in sports if he's kept. 99% he's gone.

[Predarat]

Voted retained and I hate it.

[htismaqe]

Wy are they meeting on Monday? If they're coming back, they'll have all of January to do season reviews and prep work.

"Hey just to confirm, fuck you and get out"

[petegz28]

This is actually a pretty historic decision for CHunt. I mean you make the decision to keep or fire the GM who 4 years into his reign fielded one of THE WORST teams in NFL history.

Why else would they be meeting?

I don't think they would meet the day right after the end of the season if Pioli was staying.

[lcarus]

I chose fired, but I'm not that confident about it.

[clyde05]

Unfortunately not confident at all that Pioli will be fired

[HonestChieffan]

Pioli will stay. We are screwed with a first round pick and shit to use it on. If he takes the Iowa coach Im done with this bunch. Screw it all

[htismaqe]

Why else would they be meeting?

I don't think they would meet the day right after the end of the season if Pioli was staying.

Yep, that's what my head is telling me.

Unfortunately, my heart is telling me that it's the Chiefs and this is going to be one of the most disappointing off seasons EVER, even with the #1 pick.

[Rasputin]

I'm 50/50

I want to believe he is going get fired just hard to say the way they operation.

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z152/UCLABruinKid/PretendRepeal-Operation.jpg

[tredadda]

I chose retained, not because I want him to stay but because I just feel like he will be retained.

[Thig Lyfe]

I think we'll come up a banner short of getting him fired. :(

[Shag]

If he's kept, it'll be with an extension, or they'll never get a coach to sign. Only in KC could a GM, in his fourth season, get an extension after the worst record in team history...

[htismaqe]

Forget team history...

This is one of the worst teams in NFL history.

[007]

That is a dumb poll. There should be more than two options. I was expecting a 1-10 poll.

[petegz28]

The more important question is how do you even consider bringing back a man who has literally turned your team into one of the worst on NFL history in just 4 short years?? And did it with 5 pro-bowlers to boot!!!

[|Zach|]

I always thought you were kind of a gutless pussy, thanks for clearing up any doubt.

Don't even care, JFC.

Hunt family doesn't know how to run an organization that wins. They don't deserve shit from me.

[ChiTown]

Forget team history...

This is one of the worst teams in NFL history.

Yep. That should be more than enough to get Pioli fired

[J Diddy]

I think the amount of blowout the broncos put on the Chiefs today is going to help his decision making process.

[|Zach|]

I think the amount of blowout the broncos put on the Chiefs today is going to help his decision making process.

I dunno. Did we learn anything new?

[bricks]

My confidence is moderate.

I feel confident that he will be fired because a creditable source in Schefter is reporting that as a possibility.

On the other hand, I'm not exactly confident because I'm thinking that the Chiefs are really thinking about whether or not they should fire him.
The title of Schefter's article, "chiefs leaning towards firing Pioli" gives me that impression.

*Firing him should be a no brainer. The guy has been here 4 years and the team has gotten worse. And not not only that, they are setting some of the worst historical franchise records under his reign.

The fact that ownership has to ponder about a decision after those two facts has left me astounded as a fan.

[FAX]

Astounded is a darn good term, Mr. bricks.

Based solely on performance, Pioli shouldn't just be fired, he should be fried. He's Ol' Sparky material. The fact that it's even a question is mind-numbing. If he's retained, it tells you everything you need to know about this franchise's priorities and makes those "thick or thin" fans look like fools.

FAX

[jaa1025]

I was 99% sure he was done for before today. Now I'm 40% in my gut. Good things don't happen to my favorite teams. Pioli has hunt in the palm oh his hand and I fear that he's going to be here for a very long time.

If he does remain then the two worst owners in their respective sports own teams across from each other. How depressing for KC.

[tredadda]

Hunt family doesn't know how to run an organization that wins. They don't deserve shit from me.

Didn't they own the Columbus Crew when they won the MLS cup?

[Chiefnj2]

Forget team history...

This is one of the worst teams in NFL history.

5 Pro Bowlers. Pioli can't obtain/retain talent and coach them too.

Ha, ha. I can't wait for the melt down when there is no announcement tomorrow.

[Discuss Thrower]

He'll be back.

[htismaqe]

If Pioli is retained I hope Stanzi is released in the offseason and goes on to start for whoever plays KC in week 1 and he throws for 5 TDs.

[tredadda]

If Pioli is retained I hope Stanzi is released in the offseason and goes on to start for whoever plays KC in week 1 and he throws for 5 TDs.

If Pioli is retained and he brings in Ferentz then I see Stanzi staying.

[BigRedChief]

Wy are they meeting on Monday? If they're coming back, they'll have all of January to do season reviews and prep work.Hope you are right.

[htismaqe]

If Pioli is retained I hope Stanzi is released in the offseason and goes on to start for whoever plays KC in week 1 and he throws for 5 TDs.

If Pioli is retained, he will hire Kirk Ferentz. Stanzi gonna be the starter here next year...

[displacedinMN]

more confident the longer the game goes on.

[Spott]

Once I heard the first rumors on twitter that he would be fired, I had a feeling he would stay because twitter is wrong 100% of the time.

[bigdaddychieffan]

Zero. He will be back and a almost
life long Chiefs fan will be lost.

[Easy 6]

I'm still fairly optimistic because I just refuse to believe that Clark is that damn stupid...having said that, I got a bad feeling....

First post/thread

[ArrowheadMagic]

Yeah... Monday meeting tells me Pioli is gone..... But it is the Chiefs... Wont be surprised if he isnt.

[durtyrute]

Pioli isn't going anywhere. You guys should get used to his mug.

[BigMeatballDave]

If Pioli is retained, he will hire Kirk Ferentz. Stanzi gonna be the starter here next year...

BOOM

[bigdaddychieffan]

The whole coaching staff and Pioli should have to take a commercial flight or ride home. Shouldn't be allowed on the team bus.

[Lonewolf Ed]

I find it difficult to care one way or the other. There is so much hatred toward staff and players on this team to be excised first before I can muster enough of a damn to get into the realm of caring.

[BlackHelicopters]

Is it sad that so many of us still care about the Chiefs?

[bevischief]

My colon says no.

[htismaqe]

After hearing Peter King, my confidence has gone back up.

[HTrayne]

So, uh, where the fuck is Marty? We need to know what's really going on here...

[DanT]

He has to get fired. Regardless of how good our players looked on paper both before this season began and to the Pro Bowl selectors, the coaching staff is not up to snuff and Pioli has to bear some responsibility for that. Being a long-suffering Kansas City sports fan, my initial gut feeling was that Pioli would avoid the ax, but the more I think about it, the more I think that he'll get fired on the grounds that the coaches suck so badly that there's no way that you could give the man who hired these coaches yet another shot.

[GloryDayz]

Can't make that call. The level of football dumbness that's ingrained in the Hunt family DNA I'd say there's a good chance he brings him back just to teach this city a serious lesson in who's the boss, and it's not the fans....

[O.city]

Until I read the tweet that he's gone, i'm staying in full on scorned asshole mode.

[baitism]

60/40 he gets fired if I had to wager.

[007]

Is it sad that so many of us still care about the Chiefs?

I may be rethinking that if Pioli is not fired.

[ArrowheadMagic]

If Pioli is retained, he will hire Kirk Ferentz. Stanzi gonna be the starter here next year...

lol... Iowa lost their burst when Hayden left.

[Austin Ed]

If Pioli is retained I hope Stanzi is released in the offseason and goes on to start for whoever plays KC in week 1 and he throws for 5 TDs.

Stanzi will never be a starter.

[Austin Ed]

Three reasons to give up my season tickets.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I'm not confident he'll be fired at all. In fact I'm more confident the Chiefs/Clark have exactly what it takes to truly go full retard.

[AussieChiefsFan]

I feel that there's no way that Clark can retain him, but im a little worried

[htismaqe]

lol... Iowa lost their burst when Hayden left.

Not really. Ferentz won a couple of league championships and a BCS bowl. Damn good coach but Iowa needs new blood. 14 years is long enough.

[MahiMike]

Wow, this poll is really close.
