New York Post NFL writer on Clark - "Didn’t strike me as the sharpest guy around."

Bart Hubbuch @HubbuchNYP BTW, after interviewing Clark Hunt last weekend, I can now understand why the Chiefs are a mess. Nepotism isn’t necessarily a good thing. Bart Hubbuch @HubbuchNYP @ArrowheadPride He just didn’t strike me as the sharpest guy around. Seems kind of overmatched. |

If he fails to address the situation this off season, yea it shows Clark is nutless. I don't think that's going to happen. |

Undue pressure on a GM? Nope, it's the nature of the business. When you talk the owner into paying a QB that kind of coin, you tell the QB he's going to have to perform. I'm not saying it's easy, but we all have numbers we have to meet "or else."

How do you know he didn't put him on a PI plan?

Just like anybody else, you call them in and give them performance metric they need to meet or exceed. It's no different between than any other employee, it might just be done over dinner at Morton's instead of the office. In the end, he's an employee just like every other employee. They all have challenges in terms of supervising, but in the end you don't have to be specific about the "or else." I'm sure if he just indicated that if some of these questionable hires don't produce on the field, he may have to bring in some people to help him make those final decisions and judge talent and the team's needs. Subtle but effective for a proud man like Scott.

You're right, it's done with a $500 bottle of wine, cloth napkins and a coat check... Other than that, the base concept is the same.

If it was Pioli would have been stripped down as a human being and thrown out on his ass after game 5...

Then there's that non-HR-recommended way of handling it...

The way most employers do.
If you fail horribly, at every level, and do so for years...well, in the real world that's not even possible.

I'm not against it... If we're going to have a reasonable "failure is not an option" mindset, longterm employment for just showing up is going to need to be a thing of the past... So picking up gum wrappers is fine, but you need 12 wins in the regular season to keep working here... and even with that mindset, if we had another year like last year - where so many players had legitimate season-ending injuries - I'm willing to bet there would have been some deserved understanding.

![]() That is Clark Hunt's legacy. If he has done anything for his wealth per se, it has not contributed to the riches that are the Lamar Hunt & father estate.

1) Pioli has never drafted a player who has HOF potential in 4 years. 2) Pioli has not drafted or signed more than 1 pro bowl player in 4 years. 3) In 4 years Pioli has only taken this team to one playoff game. We were not competitive in that game. Compare that performance to any other GM in the league...

This thread should be bumped in a month when Clark keeps Pioli.
The people defending him right now will change their tune and destroy him. Can't wait. I'll have the popcorn ready! |
