Chiefs How soon after the game on sunday will a new GM be announced? - Page 2

Kylo Ren · 12-23-2008, 10:02 AM

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.

I hope we don't have to wait too long, simply because I'd like to know the direction the team is going to move in. However this better not be a decision that Clark rushes by any means. This is arguably going to be the most important hire for the Chiefs for the next 5 years at least. Take the time necessary, but pull the trigger right away when the right guy is available.

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

I'd like to see us snag Eric DeCosta and just get this over with.

I doubt that we will hear much publicly on who is or isn't a candidate. It protects the team and the person if things don't work out.

As the article states it's up to the team to grant permission to other teams while they are still playing. I think the key from the article is that once permission is granted to one team you must grant to all teams making a request. That may make an impact on teams granting "early" permission this year. Another thing to keep in mind a candidate may not want to interview until their team is done playing regardless of permission from the current employer.

Short of a friend of a friend who thought they saw someone at the airport; I doubt we'll hear anything until after the AFC/NFC Championship games.

I keep reading in these posts about NE -- has there been anything more hinted about Pioli, or is it pure speculation?

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.

An "810 source inside Arrowhead" is code for we just make this up and don't want to be responsible for what we say. Anybody remember KK's inside sources that were going to expose the NFL drug ring at Arrowhead?

That would be a FAIL hire, Clark said he wanted Fresh Ideas and outlook on the franchise, not reliving the past with Marty Jr....

The best we can hope for is

GM's
Pioli
Ross
Poilan

HC's
Spags
OC from NE...

Otter · 12-23-2008, 10:35 AM

I would guess 1 to 2 months after the last game.

I read somewhere that McDaniels will follow Pioli. That's not really news, but the same article said that McDaniels would also be the first choice of Polian.

StcChief · 12-23-2008, 10:37 AM

If they are after any playoff team it will have to wait.

Then how could you go wrong with either GM? both would be a solid hire and both would get the best coaches in here to rebuild this mess Herm and Carl are leaving us...
