Don Banks from SI on Chiefs Coaching/GM
• Kansas City -- The general consensus among the league sources I interviewed was that the high level of fan unrest in Kansas City would probably lead Chiefs owner Clark Hunt to make the personally difficult decision to replace general manager Scott Pioli, and not just head coach Romeo Crennel. Hunt and Pioli remain close, so there's a chance Pioli returns, especially if there's a head coach hire that Pioli can sell to Hunt as the potential difference maker. Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz is a name long linked to Pioli dating from their days together in Cleveland, and he always surfaces as a possible Pioli hire.
If Pioli isn't retained, he won't be out of work for long, because his personnel judgments are still widely respected throughout the league -- at least outside of Kansas City. It was thought the Chiefs might pursue Bill Polian as a GM candidate, but sources say there has not been contact between the two, even though Polian was thought to be willing to listen. Other potential GM hires by the Chiefs are plentiful, but they include San Francisco's Gamble, Green Bay director of football operations John Dorsey and Indianapolis vice president of football operations Tom Telesco. Dorsey is known for having a good eye for talent, and his college scouting background gives him a strong draft pedigree. He has worked under both Ted Thompson and Ron Wolf in Green Bay, two of the most respected personnel evaluators in recent NFL history, and sources say he's ready and willing to pursue all GM opportunities after turning down offers to interview last year. On the coaching side, Arians, who might win the NFL Coach of the Year award for the job he did as the Colts' interim, is a name that has surfaced in Kansas City. His track record for quarterback coaching is respected, and his résumé includes successful stints with the likes of Peyton Manning in Indy, Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh and this year's impressive rookie season by the Colts' Andrew Luck. On the defensive side of the ball, Cincinnati defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer has again done a superb job with the talent he has on hand, and his work has as much to do with the Bengals returning to the playoffs as any other factor. He has been long considered a quality head coaching candidate, and his son, Adam Zimmer, is currently a defensive assistant on Crennel's staff.

Sure Pioli was a failure, Cassel too, but so was Haley.

I'm not too keen on Dorsey as GM, and here's why: I think he would try to trade for Flynn from the Seahawks and then draft Luke Joekel with the #1 pick.
I want a HC hired first and then a GM who will go out and get the players that the HC wants and needs for their vision to be implemented. The head coach I want is Chip Kelly. I want an aggressive, shit down your throat playing and coaching style. Chip Kelly will do that in the NFL. I can handle losing. As a Chiefs fan, I'm used to it. At least go balls to the wall instead of playing not to lose (when you are already behind). |

Completely wrong on the last 3 points. Who cares if he was a buffoon on the sidelines? Cowher and Gruden were notorious for doing the same damn thing, an dhtose guys are considered heroes. Did he lack the people skills? Last time I checked, the players he coached got better under his watch then became complete losers when he left -- his people skills are the exact same as Tom Coughlin's. Tyler Palko was a lot more Pioli than it was Haley. Pioli and Cassel didn't fail because of anyone but themselves. Haley was severely limited because of Pioli and Cassel. Because of that... we don't know what Haley would have done in a better situation. I think he will do well if hired in Arizona and it will only make a bigger mockery of Pioli's shit show. |

If hiring Haley was a HUGE mistake, in comparison hiring Romeo would be equivalent to bringing Cassel back as starter in '13. This team even with Cassel was capable of at least 6 wins with competent coaching.

I wonder if the Colts try and keep Arians? Whats the condition of Pagano? What if his health gets worse during the offseason?

It comes down to: - Cassel - Being a prick with the media - Shutting the team off from the fan base - Being and egocentric meglomaniac (the Chiefs do not have a Director of Scouting because Pioli thinks he knows ****ing everything) - Every first round pick he's had - Trading up for ****ing tight ends - Candy wrappers - CIA Brown Shirts around the stadium - Romeo Crennel - Brian Daboll - Brady Quinn And ever other shithole thing that has happened to this franchise in the past four years. Let's face facts - this Chiefs team, in the fourth year of the Pioli regime, stands as one of the historically bad teams in the history of the NFL. Samurai used to commit seppuku for an 1/8th of what has happened here with the Chiefs this year. This guy was brought in to, quote his own words, "win championships." This, the 2012 season - his fourth year as GM, is not winning championships. It's the mother ****ing Titanic. The ****ing Black Plague of modern football. It doesn't get worse than this. It's ****ing horrible. This ****ing guy should give back every single cent he stole from this team. **** Pioli. The guy sucks shit out of a stinking skunks festered ass. **** him with Mecca's toilet brush. **** this ****ing guy. Millions of dollars and he fields the worst NFL team in the last 50 years. **** YOU PIOLI!!! |

Mecca never uses his toilet brush, I'm quite certain of this, so we need to find someone else's toilet brush to **** him with. I'm thinking luv's toilet brush will suffice.

It just blows my mind that people refuse to give any credit whatsoever to Haley for making a lot of our players better. Nor will they acknowledge that the drop off this season has as much to do with Romeo sucking as a coach as it does that Haley was maybe getting something out of these players.
But again, this is exaggeration planet. You're right. Haley did absolutely nothing right. Nothing. |

Who are the players whom Haley "improved"? Bowe? Was a stud before Haley arrived. DJ? Potentially true. Still a stud this year, so definitely not a "loser." Hali? See DJ. Flowers? Nope. Stud before Haley arrived. Albert? Nope. Good before Haley arrived and good after. Oh, you meant "losers" in a general sense? Well that was true during Haley's tenure, too. Ironic that you say this is "exaggeration planet" after making such an inaccurate and hyperbolic initial statement. |
