Chiefs How soon after the game on sunday will a new GM be announced? - Page 6

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'm guessing he's been "marinating" this one since the end of last season, fwiw...

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...

Free agency is in February and the draft is in April. This team needs to get its ass in gear.

Pioli is the V.P. of player personnel. Not the G.M. If he was, they'd need to label him that, and pay him that dough. Until then, he's fair game.

Makes perfect sense to me. If Clark doesnt want Herm, as he shouldn't, his ass WILL be gone on Monday.

I think it should be obvious to any Owner/GM/President/Dog/Inanimate Object, that Herm should not be here regardless of who is hired.

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."

Otherwise he wouldnt of told his asst coaches to start looking elsewhere. That is unless, Herm is getting ready for some serious bus chucking in an attempt to save his own weasel ass...

That would never happen. You're dreaming.

You can't resign when you're under contract.

Not trying to be a jerk here, but didn't King Carl resign (under contract)?
I may have missed something though. He may have *resigned*, but was really fired. That may be my perception tho.

Clark accepted his resignation and still has to pay him.

There is a lot of misinformation in this thread.

The Colts have not denied Chris Polian permission to interview with teams for GM type jobs. They cant deny him permission to interview if the job is a promotion. Polian himself has personally declined to interview for jobs, including Atlanta last year. But that was his decision, not the Colts. A few years ago Polian interviewed for some jobs with teams that werent even as high on the totem poll as the GM position. The Colts cant stop him from talking to people unless the job is a lateral move.

Same with Pioli. Pioli has turned down an offer from Seattle, and turned down a chance to interview with the Giants. But the Patriots did not refuse him from talking to those teams. Pioli decided not to himself.

Neither Polian or Pioli is a GM and neither has full control over a team. The Pats and Colts could not stop either guy from talking to the Chiefs. But Polian and Pioli themselves can decline to be interviewed, or they can be interviewed and decline the job.

Polian actually interviewed with Atlanta, they told him he had to keep some of the front office people that were already there and stuff like that, basically saying he couldn't have all of his people in every spot.

Shortly after he withdrew his name from consideration.
