At the end of the day, I just can't believe that pioli cares more about cassel than winning.

in the past week or so, i have had at least 4-5 people tell me that cowher is in town house shopping.

all have gotten this info from a solid source, some real estate agent friend. it's gotten so far out of hand now, i have started to just agree with them. the amount of funny is almost getting out of hand.

:popcorn:

In the wake of the Chiefs’ stunning, 19-14 victory over the previously undefeated Packers last Sunday, interim coach Romeo Crennel is getting a lot of love. Among those in the K.C. locker room campaigning for “RAC” to get a crack at the permanent job is standout pass rusher Tamba Hali. Will Crennel, who worked as an assistant with the Patriots when current Chiefs GM Scott Pioli was that franchise’s top personnel executive, land the gig? If so, will Pioli be more loyal to him than Browns GM Phil Savage was when Crennel was Cleveland’s head coach? Let’s call on Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits to help Crennel enunciate his passion, to the tune of “Romeo and Juliet.”

A pumped-up Romeo gives the Chiefs some winning tips
Laying everybody low with a Gladiator clip
Turns the film off, makes a few good quips
Says something like, “You and me, guys, how about it?”

Pioli says, “Hey, it’s Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack!”
He’s outside of the office, he’s singing, “Orton’s my quarterback.
Back when Todd Haley was here I know you weren’t havin’ that …
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?”


Pioli, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet when I exploded into your heart
That you regret, you regret it took so long
When you gonna realize it was just that the job was wrong, Pioli?

Come up in Foxborough, workin’ for Belichick
Got dirty, got mean, yes, I think you know what makes me tick
And I coached big games for Bill and opened up your eyes
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your guys?

When you can fall for Josh McDaniels,
You can fall for Kirk Ferentz,
You can fall for young assistants
And retreads that make no sense
I’ll promise you everything, I’ll promise you thick and thin, yeah!
Now you just say, “Oh Romeo? Yeah, you know I won some Super Bowls with him.”

Pioli, when we won rings, you used to cry.
You said, “I love all my Belichick guys, I’ll love you ‘til I die.”
There’s a time for us, and it’s time to be strong
When you gonna realize it was just that the coach was wrong, Pioli?

I can’t do the talk, like the talk on TV
And I can’t wear a tight shirt, or a medium hoodie
I can’t grow ratty beards, but I’ll do anything for you
I sure can coach ‘em up, what more I gotta prove?
And all I do is win, Scott, like the Chiefs of Marty
All I did was beat the Pack … and Mike McCarthy
Now all the players want me, want this job to be mine
Pioli, I’d take the fall for you any time!

Pioli, when we won rings, you used to cry.
You said, “I love all my Belichick guys, I’ll love you ‘til I die.”
There’s a time for us, and it’s time to be strong
When you gonna realize it was just that the coach was wrong, Pioli?

And a love-struck Romeo sings The Chief a serenade
Laying everybody low with a buffed-up résumé
He turns off the projector, steps out of the shade
He says something like, “You and me babe, how about it?”

You and me Scott, how about it?

• "New England's band was broken up, and what you had were a bunch of solo albums. (Eric) Mangini and (Romeo) Crennel and (Charlie) Weis and Scott (Pioli) and Thomas (Dimitroff). You saw what they could do when they got some of them back together (in Kansas City). I think that's what Scott wants to do — he wants to get the band back together. … Is Romeo the right coach? Maybe. The 'right' coach is a guy that really understands the plan from (Chiefs owner) Clark Hunt down to the guy opening the door in the building. Todd (Haley) and Scott did not fit well together. Scott needs a guy that fits. Josh and Romeo fit."

That's pretty sad really - bringing in Romeo pretty much means it's Pioli's way or no way.

Who's the hot OC? Kim Kardashian? If Romeo is the coach it would be cool to bring Bowles in as the DC. He's done a great job as a secondary coach and Miami has played well since he's been the HC. I'm honestly surprised it took this long for him to get a look.

Bowles would be a damn fine hire. He's from the Parcells tree, so he'll fit that one track jerkoff we have as a GM.

Bill Cowher Interviews With Chargers, According To Report

Home » Chiefs » Bill Cowher Interviews With Chargers, According To Report

According to Mark Cannizzaro of the New York Post, former Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Bill Cowher has already interviewed with high-ranking officials in San Diego to become the next head coach of the Chargers.

I was told this week by an in-the-know source with intimate knowledge of the San Diego sports scene that Cowher already had “an interview’’ with high-ranking people inside the Chargers organization who were gauging his interest and that he expressed his interest in the job should Norv Turner be fired.

There have been conflicting reports about Cowher’s plans now for some time. He has said publicly that he enjoys working in TV and that he has no plans to return to coaching at this time. However, potential coaches often say things like that to avoid creating a media frenzy.

Some have Cowher pegged as a candidate to land in New York should a vacancy open up with the Giants.

As for the Chiefs, Cowher has a past in KC but most believe that he will want power over personnel decisions, something Scott Pioli is unlikely to give him.

One thing is for sure, I’d rather Cowher not land in the AFC West, or the AFC for that matter. The Giants sound like a good fit to me.

Nice! Reports of an interview before the coach is fired. Way to go Chargers

• Kansas City -- The Chiefs' coaching scenario seems the most tidy of all, and of course, the NFL is rarely tidy, so it probably can't happen the way we're envisioning. But here goes: Win or lose Sunday at Denver for Romeo Crennel (although a win and a 2-1 interim head coaching record makes the rationale a much easier sell), there's a pretty good shot he gets elevated to the full-time gig. League sources then expect Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli to go out and hire Rams offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels to the same post in Kansas City, with the expectation that McDaniels will be let go when Spagnuolo is canned.

Pioli will then have made his own locker room very happy with the retention of the popular Crennel, who he likes and greatly respects, but also will have put in a place a succession plan with the arrival of McDaniels, who could use another couple seasons to let the radioactivity from his failed Denver head coaching tenure die down. Crennel is 64, and gives Pioli a trusted short-term coaching option. McDaniels is 35, and gives Pioli a trusted long-term coaching option.

Both men are known quantities by Pioli, who will absolutely gravitate to the familiar in this hire, knowing he has to get it right in order to protect his own job security in light of the failed Todd Haley experiment in his first hiring decision. In McDaniels, there's the added bonus of having him work once again with Chiefs starting quarterback Matt Cassel, who he developed in New England. If McDaniels can get Cassel's game cleaned up, then the Chiefs aren't in the market for another starting quarterback option, other than maybe retaining Kyle Orton as Plan B. And McDaniels even worked with Orton in Denver and started 6-0 in 2009 with him under center.

With Crennel's great work with the K.C. defense, McDaniels overseeing the Chiefs offense, and Pioli having both stability and potential on hand, he'd be positioned about as well as he could have dreamed of being in the team's post-Haley era. As I said, this probably makes so much sense it can't possibly happen. But I'm willing to be wrong about my lack of faith. At least until Kansas City hires Kirk Ferentz away from the University of Iowa.

McDaniels with the Chiefs? My Sundays will be free next season.

:cuss: ****

Maybe McDaniels would bring Bradford with him if the Rams somehow get the number 1 pick and draft Luck? :shrug:
