***Rumor*** Pioli gets fired if Chiefs Lose in Tampa.

[redfan]

Yeeeaaaaaaaaaah, no.

Although CP did wish Cassel to the bench, so whatevs.

[Jive Ass]

I suspect this is false, but whatever. I'm clinging on to every bit of hope we scrounge up.

[AussieChiefsFan]

Well we've had a rumour about Pioli being extended and Pioli being fired after one more loss. They're both probably just not true. not saying I dont want it to be.

Both are ridiculous.

[Red Brooklyn]

Yeah, I don't see it. Even IF this is true - or even partly true - I don't expect Pioli to actually lose the job until the end of the season. Would Clark really fire him immediately?

Seems odd.

Can we really be this close to our goal?

BS

How'd randy moss work out for ya there buddy?

This isn't a situation like coaches where you can fire one and see what his replacement does or how it affects the team. Firing the GM doesn't do the team much good considering how long it will be until we replace said GM. Who does the scouting until then? A guy that knows he isn't getting the GM job? That seems silly. I just highly doubt this could be real.

Of course it's not real. It's jackass unprofessional sports radio hosts inventing talking points. Same with the extension rumor.

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.

This is not true either way.

First off, any new GM won't be hired until the season is over.

Even in such an event, whoever we hire will have done his homework on the upcoming draft.

The Browns are basically bringing in Joe Banner right now. And you can bet he's basically heading up the scouting operation in prep for the draft so they can fire Holmgren when the season ends.

And yes, if you hire a personnel guy, he'll have scouting reports. But they're the wrong reports. Scouts look for exactly what you tell them to look for. If you want fast guys, your scouting report will have only fast guys. If you have a 4-3 scout, he won't know how that player will function in a 3-4.

Yeah, because no one can figure out who to draft without a CSD.



In an era were 40 million guys on the internet can accurately guess who's going in each round, a guy like this is highly overrated.

Dane, please tell me you're not going to go the route of undermining professional scouts and comparing them to a bunch of douche bags with a computer.

CSD's are critical. Saying they're not important is saying that a bunch of talented entry level employees can function well without a manager. And that the manager is overrated.
