I just highly doubt this could be real.

Actually, it's a special exception in KC because Pioli doesn't have a College Scouting Director.

If you fire Pioli after the season ends, you pretty much **** yourself over for the draft. If you hire a replacement today, you can still get a new GM that can collect enough information leading into the 2013 draft.

I don't know. Just trying to see a bright side, but I'm skeptical.
