Guys like DeCosta and others who were mentioned weren't even available. At the time, Pioli looked to be a welcome change from Peterson.
I agree though, we are basically in the exact same spot as before. Only thing that has really changed is that Arrowhead has lost some of its allure over the last few years. That can change in a hurry if we start winning again.

Hard to imagine but KC is even less attractive to a big name GM/HC/Player than it was before Pissholi got here...

Denver rookie QB John Elway, on Jack Lambert, after Lambert and the Steelers knocked Elway out of his first game as a pro (1983).
