Image and Perception
I'm rather enjoying our new GM/Coach situation, and what Chiefs fan doesn't get a rise out of a cold blooded Pioli stare or a report of a fiery Haley interaction?
There are of course several factual reasons to be encouraged, but I can't help but notice how much of a bounce these fellers get simply by the way they conduct themselves. They have of course done some things in their short tenure here, and there are things done elsewhere that can fill in our views of them, but for the relatively little time they've been active in our KC world, they're certainly getting a lot of bonus points from..........perception. I mean they've been involved in zero KC drafts, they have coached zero KC games, but I'm all in, I'm on the bandwagon, and those intense reports aren't hurting at all. We want a deviously intelligent and powerful GM, he might as well look the part. We want a hard working and knowledgeable coach, he might as well act like it from day 1. I'm thrilled, and my blind fan homerism is convinced that they'll deliver on what their image is promising. |

I'm not sold on Haley yet, but Pioli can do whatever he wants in my book.... he has the track record of proven worth.

Also, I really think that Pioli has done some of the moves just to get the Chiefs in the news and on people's minds. It's ridiculous that we don't have any prime time games, and I think Pioli is trying to change that. I mean, the ****ing Lions have the Thanksgiving game, and we won INFINITY % more games than then.

I have doubts about Haley and even bigger doubts about our defensive coaching staff. But it's just time to wait and see.

That perception will ultimately only be based on whether or not this is a winning organization.

Pioli's record speaks to that image, but he certainly doesn't look the part....
