Late January Approval Ratings
 
We've now had a chance to see Clark handle a couple of key situations and Pioli handle one. Just curious to see how satisfied with the duo's initial job performance.

Clark gets an A+ ... cuz we hire what is thought too be the best GM avail.
Time will tell.

Pioli gets an A ... cuz it took him 9 days too long too fire Herm, but he did. So we go from there.

I gave Clark an A, would have been an A+, but I thought he should have got rid of Herm a long time ago.

Pioli I gave an A, same reason as above

I'm still waiting to see who Pioli brings in to be the new HC.
I think he handled the situation with Herman ****ing Edwards in a professional manner, but I'm not ready to give him a thumbs up until he makes the most important decision of the offseason for him.

I'm pretty pleased with the way Clark has gone about his business.

Pioli was not my first choice, but the fact is, Clark went out and brought in the most sought after GM candidate over the last 3-4 years, so it's makes a pretty strong statement that Clark is serious about the business of winning.

Pioli fired Herm at the exact right moment from a PR standpoint. The Chiefs can't make any news this week because of the Super Bowl, but since everything has been so quiet there will be rumors flying all week long. It's genius.

Now, everyone just sit back, relax, and let Pioli do his job. Not your job. *His* job.

A+ for Clark for finally ridding us of Carl, and I abstained from voting on Pioli, he hasn't done anything yet other than fire Herm, as if that required much thought.

Who the hell are you?

The name is familiar.

Carl should have been dumped a year ago, with Herm. The Herm hire was one of Lamar Hunt's last acts. I didn't see Clark getting in the groove until late 08, as he tried to be a "hands off" owner with Carl doing the main duties, with too much responsibility.

The way DV and Herm were hired, were under the table. I commend the forthrightness that Clark and Pioli have displayed, to date. The real tests will be with the coach selection, the draft, and the trades.

They both get an A+.

Clark hired Pioli.
Pioli fired Herm.

A+ for Clark for being decisive with all the decisions.

A- for Pioli, will be ready to upgrade to A+ depending on HC selection.

Chiefnj2 01-24-2009 11:45 AM

Clark gets a C. His decision to let Herm and Peterson rebuild the team last year is a solid F. His decision to hire one of the perceived top personnel guys available is an A -. IMO he should interviewed DeCosta as well.

Pioli gets a C as well. He hasn't done anything except fire a coach that everyone knew would be fired.

You can easily see that for Chiefs fans starved for information, we are going to be frustrated.

I see Pioli as a very controlling person (I wonder what it would be like to work for him).

Things are going to be calculated, well thought out - and with no leaks or early information to the public.

If a reporter can crack his code - and provide early information, now we're talking about a good reporter. Any takers?

I just see this from everything going on in the last week or so.

I am willing to be patient - as in the Herm firing, and with other things, but for a "technology" world that wants information now, and if many cases, yesterday, good luck! We're going to be the last to know.

Just what have they done for me lately

Basileus777 01-24-2009 12:10 PM

Clark gets an A+.

Pioli hasn't done anything other than fire Herm, something any GM would have done. I'll give him a B for now. I'm sure that will become higher once there is something to grade him on.

JuicesFlowing 01-24-2009 12:27 PM

I gave them both an A. The only thing keeping them from A+ is that we still don't have a new coach, but it's a fluid situation. Either way, they are making changes and that's good.
