Chiefs Mortensen: Chiefs top 5 candidates for GM

**dirk digler** · 12-30-2008, 11:08 AM

CHIEFS TO CHASE PIOLI, TOO?

As the Cleveland Browns embark on their pursuit of Pats V.P. of player personnel Scott Pioli, another team to keep in mind is the Kansas City Chiefs.

ESPN’s Chris Mortensen has reported that Pioli is on the radar of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, and that Hunt specifically has mentioned Pioli in connection with the possibility of making another 20-year hire for the job.

Other candidates, per Mortensen, are Ravens director of pro personnel George Kokinis, Ravens director of college scouting Eric DeCosta, Colts assistant G.M. Chris Polian, and even former Browns G.M. Phil Savage.

Per Mort, Hunt is also interested in keeping coach Herm Edwards, but if the new G.M. doesn’t want to keep Edwards it won’t be a deal breaker.

I'd be pretty pleased with any of those names.

BigChiefFan · 12-30-2008, 11:13 AM

Good job, Clark. Damn good job. I'm encouraged that's he's looking in those directions.

Bring Savage in to drill him for information
Clark you evil genious

Micjones · 12-30-2008, 11:15 AM

Phil Savage? Oh God no.
He just got shitcanned. That's not a great way to start a new administration.
Coming on the heels of being fired by another organization. No thanks.

I like that he's interested in Pioli, Polian, and DeCosta though.

I actually don't think Savage is a bad GM at all.

His team caved in on itself because Romeo Crennel can't lead.

In Baltimore, while we were busy patting ourselves on the back for 'stealing' Ryan Sims from Min., Savage was behind Baltimore snagging Ed Reed. He was also key for gus like Ray Lewis, Jamal Lewis, Ogden and Terrell Suggs. His drafts in Cleveland were pretty strong as well, certainly no worse than Pioli's. The dude knows talent.

He probably wouldn't be my first choice, but I'd ultimately be fine with the signing.

Polian or Whaley.

Brock · 12-30-2008, 11:19 AM

Savage is probably just as good as Pioli.

**Old Dog** · 12-30-2008, 11:20 AM

1 - DeCosta
2 - Pioli
3 - Polian

Then bring in Schwartz (Titans DC) as the HC.

BigChiefFan · 12-30-2008, 11:20 AM

Savage is a good GM. He brought in alot of good players to the Ravens and the Browns.

Priest31kc · 12-30-2008, 11:20 AM

It's great to have candidates from the Pats, Ravens, and Colts. Good job Clark.

**BigMeatballDave** · 12-30-2008, 11:23 AM

Savage is not a bad GM.

Chiefs Pantalones · 12-30-2008, 11:23 AM

Herm is gone. I don't see any of these candidates keeping Herm. Thank God.
