"The multi-time NFL Exec of Year with Pats and Chiefs"

WTF?! Did this happen when he was with the Chiefs?

[KC Hawks]

So I guess they haven't learned anything about hiring former Patriot turds.

[Dunerdr]

This hurts. My great grand mother was a huge lions fan before her passing, so i felt compelled to root for them. Now i'll be obligated to put that on pause.

[Marcellus]

Browns

Right now I would much rather be the Browns than Lions. Dorsey isn't a bad GM, their coach appears to be pretty good at maximizing what talent he has etc..

Detroit has nothing to really hang their hat on and have never won shit.

[notorious]

Confirmed: Detroit is fucking retarded, and they are fulling infected with Patriot Way trash.

[gblowfish]

"Hello....Todd? How's that Florida High School team coming along?"...

[notorious]

When will any of the fucktards learn that the "Patriot Way" is Belichick and/or Brady?

Agreed, but Dorsey isn’t their GM anymore...

[Deberg_1990]

The Fords don’t give a sh*t about winning

[Marcellus]

Agreed, but Dorsey isn’t their GM anymore...

Ah shit thats right.

[KC Hawks]

Pioli would probably hire Matt Patricia.

[New World Order]

So they just fired Patriot trash and now they're bringing in more Patriot trash.

Brilliant!

[FlaChief58]

Poor lions fans

[DaneMcCloud]

Confirmed: Detroit is fucking retarded, and they are fulling infected with Patriot Way trash.

The worst part is that Pioli would be the best GM the Lions have had in decades

[comochiefsfan]

When will any of the ****tards learn that the "Patriot Way" is Belichick and/or Brady?

Same thing will likely happen with Chiefs coaches over the next few years.

Teams will try and replicate our offense, while the reality is that oftentimes success is a product of transcendent individuals, and no matter how many coaches or front office personnel you try and pull from that system, without those transcendent individuals, you won't have the same level of success.

[Tribal Warfare]

The Lions love The Patriot Way like a buttsecs fetish involving being on the receiving end of porcupine and cactus' intimacy

[Rain Man]

The Lions are the Edsels of the NFL.

Oops, repost. Maybe thread titles should clearly describe what the thread is about though?????

If Scott Pioli had any shame he would have killed himself long ago!!!!!

[Bowser]

Stafford is going to be willing to pay money to get traded to the Broncos

[Buehler445]

The fact that they'd even give that guy a token interview (hopefully that's all it is) is troubling.

[ThaVirus]

Incredible. He had a hand in running two organizations straight to the gutter.

[Eureka]

He isn't black so why are they doing this? This doesn't settle the Rooney Rule.

Trading Patriot Way for Patriot Way. What a shit show in Detroit. So much for EB going there.

[Bwana]

Moves like this is why Detroit is and will always be a laughing stock.

[ModSocks]

Pioli would probably hire Matt Patricia.

lol

[ChiefBlueCFC]

Detroit better hide all the gum wrappers

[AdolfOliverBush]

The Lions organization deserves to perish in flames for not only wasting Barry Sanders' career, but also for driving him into early retirement.

[Bowser]

Pioli would probably hire Matt Patricia.

Josh McDaniels, haha

There's no way I would even like football anymore if I was a Lions fan.

One playoff win since 1957?? It's almost impossible to be that incompetent.

[comochiefsfan]

Calvin Johnson as well. That dude had several good years left in him and just decided he couldn't take the losing anymore.

[Bowser]

The organization is just SO BAD that it forced arguably the greatest running back in the history of the game into early retirement. That's something you don't want to be remembered for. Well, most teams anyway.

[Bowser]

Calvin Johnson as well. That dude had several good years left in him and just decided he couldn't take the losing anymore.

Beat me to it.

I think he had injury concerns towards the end of his career, but nothing that couldn't be overcome iirc. He was just over it.

[stevieray]

Hard to fly a banner in a Dome.

[chiefzilla1501]

Holy hell. And now we also know where Brian daboll will coach. Let me guess the D coordinator. Romeo Crennel.

[chiefzilla1501]

As I've said before, there needs to be a way to fire bad owners. It's horrible for the league.

[oldman]

ROFL

So much for EB going there.

I thought the same thing when I read the title of this thread. I wonder if they could get a small drone in the dome to fly a banner.

[eDave]

No chance of that happening with Detroit.

No chance of that happening with Detroit.

Because they're already there!

Why the hell would they go from one Bill B loser in Patricia to another? Pioli is a bum. Did they not notice the Falcons got worse the minute he showed up? Did they not see what happened here?

[DaneMcCloud]

Why the hell would they go from one Bill B loser in Patricia to another? Pioli is a bum. Did they not notice the Falcons got worse the minute he showed up? Did they not see what happened here?

Yeah, I saw what happened after he arrived in Atlanta. Pioli ran the draft beginning in 2015, with Dimitroff taking on other responsibilities.

2013: 4-12
2014: 6-10
2015: 8-8
2016: 11-5, lost the Super Bowl in Overtime to the Patriots
2017: 10-6
2018: 7-9
2019: 7-9

I hated the Pioli hire the second it was announced and couldn't wait for him to be fired. I was on his ass every day for 4 straight years. That said, people do learn from their mistakes and Pioli was integral in putting together their Super Bowl roster.

All that said, he's not the Chiefs problem any longer, thankfully.

[Gary Cooper]

The sad thing is that Detroit is a football town at heart. Those fans deserve a lot better. They haven't seen a home playoff game since 1992. That's futility even the Chiefs and Bengals couldn't touch all these years. They would benefit from an ownership change.

[Easy 6]

Literally just read this on yahoo and clicked in here to post it

He will make Matt Millen look like a genius LMAO

[mililo4cpa]

We have a team this year, that is all but assured a win-less season....

And the Lions are by far the worst organization in the league lol....

As somebody mentioned above, if Pioli gets the gig, look out for Josh McD!

[ptlyon]

My God. Think of the children!

[Rasputin]

Detroit is pretty trashy he is going be busy stepping over candy wrappers and telling others they should pick it up.

No love for the Jags? I mean they are glorified Euro League team at this point aren't they?

Jacksonville Couple Successfully Mates To Help Save Endangered Jaguars Fan Base

JACKSONVILLE, FL—Scoring a victory for NFL preservationists worried that these rare creatures could disappear forever, local Jacksonville couple Michael Larson, 30, and Brittany Gill, 28, successfully mated Tuesday in an attempt to help save the endangered Jaguars fan base. “This population has dwindled down to practically nothing over the last decade, so any news of potential new Jaguars fan being born is wonderful,” said local Jaguars activist Brian Hodge, who claimed that without additional breeding programs and support from the local government, the next generation may never see these beautiful fans in their black, teal, and gold coats. “Jaguars fans occupy a very small habitat along the Atlantic coast where they are in constant threat by encroaching Bucs and Falcons markets. Sadly, many young Jacksonville fans will die in boating or hunting accidents before reaching sexual maturity, but once they breed they can produce a dozen offspring, and most of those will go on to become adult Jaguars fans. So we still have hope this population will endure.” At press time, the survival of the young Jaguars fan was in question after the mother lost her job at Hobby Lobby and started talking about moving to Houston.

[Beef Supreme]

Will Matt Cassel get another shot?

[mililo4cpa]

maybe instead of picking up trash, Pioli's new mantra is boarding up windows....like "I was in the stairwell, and there was a window that wasn't boarded up...."

[Easy 6]

Will Matt Cassel get another shot?

Of course he's the obvious choice, no one exemplifies the Patriot Way ethos better

[BigRedChief]

He seems to be a good talent evaluator but a lousy GM.

[ModSocks]

Who? Pioli? A good talent evaluator? The guy who gave Matt fucking Cassel a mega contract?

Pfffffffffffff

Thank goodness ...

At long last, the Motown Candy Wrapper Scandal can come to an end.

[Pants]

It takes a true visionary to draft Tyson Jackson with the 3rd overall pick.

No other GM would think to do that. Pioli was special.

What made this selection even worse is that Glen Dorsey was taken in 2008, so the Chiefs had two megabusts on their defensive line taken in the Top 5.

I was actually super happy about the Dorsey pick at the time. I thought he was going to be dominant.

Thank heavens. Can’t imagine the long standing pain endured by Detroitians forced to look upon garbage in a stairwell. I hope those poor souls can move on with their lives and find peace now that Pioli has broken their bonds asunder.

He had a microfracture in his knee cap, which to me, was worrisome.

So of course, the Chiefs drafted him.

Pfffffffffffff

and didn't he draft Tyson Jackson?

[tatorhog]

ROFL

Trading Patriot Way for Patriot Way. What a shit show in Detroit. So much for EB going there.

the defensive patriot way didn't work out, so maybe they make a run at McDaniels to see if the other side is any better? lol

[Pants]

and didn't he draft Tyson Jackson?

He did. But it wasn't in the 2nd round, like your regular run-of-the mill, non-Executive of the Year GM would do. Pioli's genius was that he drafted him 3rd overall, you see? NOBODY saw it coming. Just a fucking stroke of genius we all witnessed in 2009. And then we flew the plane. Fucking ingrates, the lot of us.

[DeepPurple]

I thought that honor went to Mike Brown, people who inherit their team or money.

https://static.www.nfl.com/image/private/t_editorial_landscape_8_desktop_mobile/f_auto/league/lfpyin2yetujjtnn63jg.jpg

Then again, there is Dan Synder, who's team doesn't even have a name anymore.

Well, at least the Redskins won three Super Bowls and the Bengals were in two back in the 80's.

The Lions are one of the few NFL franchises to never even make it to the Super Bowl...

[DeepPurple]

Of the guys mentioned, I think Thomas Dimitroff, former Falcons GM would be a good choice.

Marty and I are lighting a fire under Detroit media on twitter LMAO

[DaneMcCloud]

Dimitroff was stripped of his scouting and draft duties in Pioli's second year in Atlanta and would most likely be better suited as a team president rather than a GM.

[DeepPurple]

Well, at least the Redskins won three Super Bowls and the Bengals were in two back in the 80's.

Since Synder bought that team about 20 years ago, I believe they have won two playoff games. He had nothing to do with the SB winning era, in fact he hired Joe Gibbs the SB coach and he failed. He hired Steve Spurrier and he failed, he fired Marty Schottenheimer after one season and he was 8-8 in his first season, Jim Zorn interviewed for the quarterback coach and he made him head coach for a season and you could he was lost as a head coach, he had Jay Gruden, he's had so many coaches it's hard to keep track. I use to live in Maryland so I saw all their games.

[displacedinMN]

Will Matt Cassel get another shot?

Yes, he should get shot

Yeah, the Redskins were constantly on the air in KC back in the 80's and early 90's, so I watched a lot of their games, too. They've most certainly been dogshit during Snyder's tenure but I think they finally have a solid foundation in Ron Rivera.

The Bengals, on the other hand...

Oof. I just saw that. If he's in the mix it means they have a man crush on Bill bellichick. God help that franchise. Pity the fans.

And God help us if we have to endure another offseason of McDaniels gossip. Why won't these guys just go away.

[InChiefsHeaven]

Perhaps this is Stafford's opportunity to get the fuck out...

****ing Glen Dorsey.

I was actually super happy about the Dorsey pick at the time. I thought he was going to be dominant.

I'm not gonna defend that Dorsey pick but the 3/4 we ran his 2nd year did him no favors. He was much better suited for Herm's cover 2, just rushing the passer. His comp was Warren Sapp coming outta college. I still wonder what his career would've looked like had he played with Jared Allen with Tamba on the other side.

[mkp785]

Perhaps this is Stafford's opportunity to get the **** out...

That Patriot cock holster Peter King thinks he might get traded to them. If that's the case I hope Det. bends them over on the deal.

[trndobrd]

Will be interested to see if flying banners over a domed stadium is effective.

[chinaski]

Here is a link to an interesting article about the best places to buy candy in the Detroit Metropolitan area...Perhaps Mr. Pioli will be enraged by discovering wrappers from these establishments in the Lions facility...
