I think his success rate might be down the first year or so, until it's established what the "Chiefs Way" is, but I'm with Amnorix on this one.
People here are going to be asking, "who the ****," and the guy becomes a solid starter for us.
The guy is like David ****ing Copperfield, and no one else in the league can seem to figure out how he's doing the trick.

When he made the 20 player reference, what year was he alluding to? I assumed that most of these players were high-upside guys who ultimately became camp fodder. No way these 20 made the final 53, right? No way...
But as you just stated, some did and went on to become very solid players. The difference obviously being that Pioli is able to bring in more and bigger hits than the average bear because he is committed and meticulous when it comes to his overall plan.
I took his comment as a veiled reference to the imminent explosion at Arrowhead that was going to result in the shit canning of many a Gunther/Herm/Carl acquisition.
