ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Chiefs on verge of a deal with Andy Reid (merged)

If the Chiefs make a deal with Reid tonight, it will still be a few days before we hear anything. Clark still needs to have an interview to satisfy the Rooney Rule, does he not?

Already done.

But we are now hearing that the reason he's being brought along on interviews is to determine if he has any cohesion and compatibility with the new HC.

I'd say it's likely he's staying on as something.

If he stays in any capacity I'm becoming a fan of another team till he's gone. I'll post here but will wish nothing but bad things till he Belchers himself.

LMAO Million dollar question right now, everyone is asking it.

If Reid signs on here and becomes coach, are you okay with Scott Pioli being retained?

This may be the only level of Pioli existence I'm willing to accept.

If it takes him a few months to pull the trigger, I can live with it.

If Clark announces on Friday that Andy Reid is the next HC of the Kansas City Chiefs and that Scott Pioli will remain the GM and in charge of personnel, adios.

It's not my money, so I'm willing to be patient - until Clark gives me a legitimate reason to not be patient.

You know that is not going to happen though. Pioli will stay on and Reid will be in charge of personnel. Though I am not so sure that is any better.

Paolantonio thinks Philly’s 4-12 finish, which featured 1-11 over the final three-fourths of the season, could have been even worse.

“They could easily have been 1-15 or 0-16,” Paolantonio said. “The Giants miss a field goal by the nose of a football, that’s how the Eagles beat the Giants. There was a blatantly poor call on pass interference in the end zone, or the Ravens beat the Eagles. And the last play of the game a miracle touchdown pass from Nick Foles beats the Bucs in Tampa. The only legitimate win — and call it legitimate after five turnovers — was the first game of the year against Cleveland. This team was really almost 1-15, and I don’t know why in the world you would hire a guy who had a near 1-15 record who you killed when he came into town. Just doesn’t make any sense to me. I am frankly flabbergasted that they would even consider hiring him.”

I want him gone. But if he comes back here in a capacity like he had in New England, it seems pretty silly to throw away 30 years of being a fan...

I'm sorry, but if Pioli is back, Clarks giving you and me and everyone else the middle finger.

If Pioli has as much as a cubicle in Arrowhead next year, I'm out. It shows a complete lack of give a **** from Clark Hunt and the most galling lack of accountability I've ever seen.

I will not support a football team that employs Scott Pioli. Not after how he's treated the people in this organization and not after the myriad of failures. At that point you're rooting for a team that is owned by a rube or someone that values cronyism over merit.

**** either option. If Pioli's here, I'm out. Anything else is just justification from fans that weren't truly committed to begin with.

I'd be okay if Pioli had little say and Reid had it his way.

Tyson Jackson was a Pioli pick.

Haley fought for Berry and Pioli let him have him.

Baldwin had to have been a Haley pick. WR from his beloved Pittsburgh.

RAC loved Poe and wanted him. Pioli obliged.

Reid would own Pioli and Pioli would do all the dirty work while Reid would make final say.

Herm didn't help anyone transition. At the very least, if he tried, Fat Scott didn't pay any attention.

That was a circus then, but a lesser one because Herm had at least accomplished something positive during his stay in KC.

Stupid or not, the result is all that matters.

People wanted Herm fired - Herm was fired.

People want Pioli fired - Pioli may be fired.

That's the great thing about being an NFL owner - you can do whatever the **** you want, and on your own schedule.

People need to show a little ****ing patience.

If we whiff on Reid, or it's immediately reported that Pioli is staying, then by all means, shit bricks.

But until then, some of you are acting like 13 year old girls.

Who was it? I thought the only other interview was the Koettner in Atlanta, and his picture looked as white as the day is long.

Did Clark interview anyone else in Atl?

How the **** do I know what is or isn't going to happen?

For anyone to claim they know anything at this point is hot air.
