Chiefs How soon after the game on sunday will a new GM be announced?

I think Clark Hunt may have something in the works already that can be announced soon after sunday. I think it could happen quickly. Also, I think Herm could be gone very soon after the new GM is announced. I don't think they'll dilly dally around.

If they're going after anyone who's with a current team, they can't even talk to them until they're done for the season. Because of that, they can't have even interviewed anyone yet. I'd be VERY surprised if we hear anything within at least a week after the season ends.

I thought they could with the teams permission.

But has to be people that don't have full control over personnel. I would highly doubt Scott Pioli has full control.

Pats have ARGUED it. Not sure it's true, but they have argued that they will need comp to have him.

We should not give draft picks for him. Too many other good ones out there. The last time we gave picks for a leader it didn't turn out so well...

Interesting.

His official title is VP - Player Personnel so I would imagine GM would be the higher title.

Also from the Pats own website from earlier this year with Pioli in a press conference

on why he has not left New England despite numerous opportunities)
"This is a good situation. We're winning football. Because of what my title is, people have a perception. I know how things go inside. I'm happy with the situation (and) the way things are right now. We're up for our fourth Super Bowl (and) we've been here eight years. It's a pretty good situation."
(on temptations of leaving)
"They're been questions and temptations, (but) so far this is where that I wanted to be."

I'm assuming we won't hear anything until after the SB.

Interesting enough from a Lions website:

Quote:

Thanks to a proposal passed at an NFL meeting this morning, they now have the potential to interview and hire employees of playoff teams before their playoff run is over.

Previously, there were restrictions on when teams could interview candidates under contract with playoff teams, and teams could not hire those candidates until after their seasons ended.

Basically, after the regular season ends, the Lions can request permission to interview anyone who doesn’t have full control over personnel decisions with his team. But the candidate’s team has the right to deny permission. (If the team gives permission to one team to interview a person, it must give permission to every team that asks.)

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the proposal was submitted by the competition committee, not the Lions. Ironically, former Lions president Matt Millen used to be on the competition committee.

The proposal “allows employees of playoff clubs that are not high-level employees to be interviewed by other clubs for high-level positions during the postseason with the permission of the employer club and at the convenience of the employer club (not during a specific window only) and hired,” Aiello said. “The playoff club can deny permission to all requests. If it gives permission to such a person to be interviewed, that permission must be granted to any club that requests it during the postseason. An individual that is already a high-level employee is not eligible to be interviewed.”

It depends on the person I suppose. Some of those people are probably not high profile so they won't garner much attention plus their jobs duties are probably light until the end of the season.

IMHO it is really up to the coaching staff now to be successful in the playoffs the front office is really out of the picture.

what do front office guys have to do with playoff games?
