Bernard Pollard on just how shady Pioli was

[Mecca]

The thing with Pioli. When they hired him he walked over to me and told me “I’m telling you right now I’m letting you go for what happened in NE.” It’s a shady business.

Keep in mind, he wasn't released immediately, he was released 5 days before the start of the season which fucks him over in finding another job as well. Talk about being a dick because he injured your golden boy.

we bumped the pioli thread...

Oh I didn't see that...

[FringeNC]

If you're gonna be that much of a prick, you better be good at your job.

[Titty Meat]

Pollard sucked anyway

[tyreekthefreak]

What happened in NE? LOL, it was a great effort by Pollard, period! The break was a fluke, clean hit all the way!

[rabblerouser]

Pollard sucked anyway

Umm...not really. Dude was a thumper. Him and Paige were a solid safety duo. Who'd Pioli replace him with - Rashard Langford or some such shitty JAG?

Great observation! He was my favorite player for two years along with Ed Reed with the Ravens. He was on the Super Bowl 47 winning team. He lead the team in tackles his second year, something that usually Ray Lewis did. Forced a turnover in the AFC Championship against the Pats, and was a key member of the Super Bowl team. He revealed at the end of the season he had been playing with a rib injury since week 2. I followed him on twitter even after he left, but for some reason he didn't get along with John Harbaugh and was probably why he was let go.

Yes you do. Pussy.

[Rain Man]

When he left, I thought the story was that he didn't like the yelling and cursing of the coaching staff and didn't get along with him. Was that Gunther and Krumrie and those guys?

As much as we all hate Pioli, it's a little hard for me to believe that he would screw over his current team out of loyalty to his past team. That's very counterproductive to one's own success.

There's a reason he played for 4 different teams and his longest tenure with 1 club was 3 years.

As I have said many times, I think he came here to deliberately destroy the team. Everything he did sucked, was wrong, was damaging, to every aspect of the organization. Everything. He basically did to the Chiefs what I would do to the Broncos if I was their GM.

I refuse to believe it was an accident. Nobody is that stupid.

I actually read that stupid book that Michael Holly wrote about Pioli running the Chiefs. You can see the arrogance in a lot of the stuff he says in it and how it's covered. He basically doesn't understand how the Chiefs are treated so well in Kansas City and thought of like a high class organization when they are a loser. He feels that everything needs to be torn down to the base because the organization has been bottom 5 since 1970.

It does also detail how he thinks Jon Baldwin and Julio Jones are the same prospect though, so that's funny.

Well, if you believe in the most obvious Occam's Razor solution, that does match up with the facts really well.:hmmm:

Plus, after all the damage he did, he immediately got a job with another team.

That's like a fire chief who pours gasoline all over the floor then starts a fire that burns down his own station house by carelessly smoking getting another job as a fire chief.

If he was hired to be a fire chief, he sucked. But if he was an arsonist hired to burn down the station house, he performed admirably.

I dunno. I think he is. He bet his job on Matt Cassel and lost. He saw the guy every day in practice and didn't realize he sucked, whereas the rumor is Haley's dad watched the guy in one practice and told Todd there's no way you can win with that guy.

[Titty Meat]

Yeah that looks like the angles Pollard would take.

[MahiMike]

He should have fired him cause we got Matt Cassel out of the deal.

[RealSNR]

I don't fucking care if Pioli did this Vince Agnew.

The point is he actually fucking did it. He went to a new team, and he let a loyalty to some douche over on his old team affect how he treated a player on the new team. Whether that player was good or bad.

[Molitoth]

Pollard would have some huge plays, and some huge letdowns.... just like any CB/Safety in the league.

Outside of QB, I would say DB is probably the toughest job to be consistently good at.

[BigRock]

What Pioli said when he got hired is obviously a joke. That 9 months later Pollard actually did get cut after some incidents with coaches during camp is a coincidence. Pollard spoke about his release at the time and said he got cut because he wouldn't let the coaches (the DC Pendergast most notably) cuss at him because he's a grown-ass man or whatever the fuck it was. He didn't say a word about Pioli being out for him.

Years after the fact he's seemingly morphed into thinking it was a conspiracy against him because he's a mook.

[rabblerouser]

It's even deeper than that :

Charlie Weis was here to "fix the QB" in 2010, and when he bailed after one year, he told Haley that Cassel was "not fixable."

Haley wanted Pioli to sign Hasselbeck in the offseason. Pioli balked at signing anyone that could possibly unseat Cassel and signed Tyler Palko. This resulted in the gulf-wide rift between HC and GM, which culminated in Haley benching and ultimately IRing Cassel as soon as Cassel got a boo-boo. This is why Haley loved Palko, it was like rubbing Pioli's face in it., which naturally enraged Pioli.

Amazingly, the Chiefs were still in contention for the AFC West, which was a testament to Haley's coaching acumen. A testament to Pioli's arrogance was thinking he could install Roleo "Play Good Football" Crennell as HC and still contend. The resulting 2-14 dumpster fire literally almost killed the franchise.

Fuck you, Pioli.

[Baby Lee]

I was openminded about Pioli until the moment I saw 'Cassel' and '$60M' in the same sentence.

Something had to change when DV let the roster turn into an even older sequel to The Expendables.

From then on, until Reid/Dorsey, I didn't even have the passion to be a thorn in the side of the franchise. I just watched the Chiefs like it was Benny Hill or The Three Stooges, . . . Saturday morning slapstick serials airing on Sunday afternoons.

[Frazod]

I assume he did/said some smart things before he came here. I mean, he didn't just fall from the sky into that Cheatriots job. Which is kind of my point.

[CaliforniaChief]

To be fair, Bernard Pollard was pretty much the last Chiefs player to actually touch Tom Brady, although Chris Jones got close enough to get a 15 yard penalty in the AFCCG.

Funny that, what was a 15-yard penalty on Jones was not a penalty when the Patriots did the exact same shit to Mahomes.

Maybe it’s the Cheatroits way. Put a bunch of goobs in big titled positions and watch and laugh when other teams hire them.

No. Drafting Berry was the right thing to do. Giving him that big contract after cancer was the mistake.

I don't necessarily disagree. The second contract was disastrous. But I don't mind ultimately blaming Pioli for it either. :)

He literally hopped like a sissy instead of acting like a football player. I think he was startled and scared by defensive linemen diving for the ball. I knew at that moment we were screwed. Pioli had to have seen Casshole act that way at practice in New England. That isn't just something that happens once.
