PIOLI FIRED
Sports Radio 810 WHB @SportsRadio810
Sports Radio 810 WHB has learned that the Chiefs and Scott Pioli have officially parted ways. Listen to Sports... http://fb.me/1HY3Tgl1a Chiefs, Pioli Part Ways Posted 2 minutes ago PR Staff Kansas City Chiefs Public Relations Official Press Release Email @ChiefsPR KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Friday that the club and General Manager Scott Pioli have mutually agreed to part ways. “After several productive conversations, we made the difficult decision to part ways with Scott Pioli and allow him to pursue other opportunities,” Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said. “Scott has been an invaluable member of the Chiefs family since joining us in 2009, and we sincerely appreciate his tremendous contributions over the last four years. “I know that this was a difficult decision for Scott as well. He has a great deal of appreciation for the history of this franchise, for our players, coaches and employees, and especially our great fans. “There is no way to overstate the level of respect and admiration I have for Scott on a personal level. His character, loyalty, integrity and commitment to a team are extraordinary, and throughout the last four years, he has consistently put the best interests of the Chiefs ahead of his own. I know he will go on to enjoy further success in the National Football League, and I certainly wish him the best in the future.” Pioli, 47, was named the Chiefs General Manager on Jan. 13, 2009 and has served in that position for four seasons. During his stint with the Chiefs, the club earned its first division title and home playoff appearance since 2003 and Pioli earned NFL Executive of the Year honors from national media outlets in 2010. Pioli released the below statement on parting ways with the club: “I would like to thank Norma, Clark and the Hunt Family for the opportunity that they gave me four years ago. I’d also like to thank the players, coaches, scouts and countless other employees, throughout the organization and at Arrowhead Stadium that have worked so hard during my time here. I would also like to genuinely thank Chiefs fans. “The bottom line is that I did not accomplish all of what I set out to do. To the Hunt family – to the great fans of the Kansas City Chiefs – to the players, all employees and alumni, I truly apologize for not getting the job done.” Please contact Ted Crews in the Chiefs Communications department with any questions or inquiries.

I tip my hat to Marty, Clay, Flop and PR for the incredible movement they created.
Been a pleasure to be behind the scenes a bit in this.

A year too late Hunt, but we'll take it. Much thanks to Capone and Marty for all their hard work with SOC and all the others who stayed out of the limelight but made this happen. A toast!!!!! SALUTE

Gut feeling is Scott Pioli, out in KC, will not work for an NFL team this year. |
