Great News....it's A Better Day!
you get texts from ESPN too? :P
Yeyyyy Pioli!
Thank goodness. We're now a HC firing away from a winning season in 2009.
Now it gets interesting! What will Herm's fate be? Hopefully the unemployment line! Finally a new chapter for the Chiefs. I'm pumped about what Pioli will bring to this team.
Just updated from ESPN, looks like Herm is out.
New England Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli has agreed to become head of football operations for the Kansas City Chiefs, two NFL sources confirmed to ESPN's Michael Smith.
Pioli was seen packing up his office Tuesday afternoon, a Patriots source said.
The decision to hire Pioli likely means Herman Edwards will not be back as Chiefs head coach next season. Among the top candidates to succeed Edwards is New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio will replace Pioli as vice president of player personnel, league sources told ESPN.
Pioli, 43, has been with the Patriots for nine years.
Pioli should find a warm welcome in Kansas City. At the last Chiefs home game, shortly after the embattled Carl Peterson resigned after 20 years as president, general manager and CEO, several signs were spotted in the crowd proclaiming, "We want Pioli."
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
Its a new era for Chiefs football fans.
I need a cold one. Time to celebrate!!!
Sweet. I'm glad to finally hear something legit. The suspense was killing me!
Hey Herm, do you see that red light flashing in the corner of your eye? Thats your career dissipation light and it just went into high gear.
Hey Hermhater - whats your new nickname!!!!!
I'm more excited about Spagnoli possibly replacing Herm. But this is definitely a great day for Chiefs fans.
Did I hear right? Did they also say that Pioli is the Tuna's son-in-law? Maybe Bill will use his escape clause in Miami, and return to coaching for his son-in-law(Hey , I can dream can't I) lol
That is what I am excited for as well. If we get Spagnuolo and keep Gailey, this team will really turn around. I am still under the impression that the Giants defense is not that great outside their D-line. So it would be exciting to get a guy who made that defense work and bring it to KC.
glad it's finally done.
see ya Herm, peace out. Want to be the DB coach/halftime motivational speaker?
Pioli + Shanahan = 2009 AFC West Champs = 2010 Super Bowl Champs
I agree with you 100%.
The Giants CBs might be worse than KCs, but when you have a DL that gets at the QB like there's does, then you can hide average CBs really well (just ask New England). Hopefully if the rumors of Spagnoli coming are true, and they upgrade at the other DT spot and RE then I think our DL could be decent.

Dunno bout you all, but I'm feelin peaches and effin cream right now.
As far as the Brandons, Flowers I expected to get and use/Carr is impressive for being a later pick, starting, and tutoring Leggett.
Flowers is a future stud, book it.
I read a stat somewhere that listed the top CBs in the league and their percentage of receptions against vs. pass thrown at, and he was like #6 in the whole league.
Get that kid a solid pass rush so he isn't in coverage for 10 seconds every play and he could be shut down.
This is christmas for me. The Braves get Lowe and now the Chiefs get a real GM.
ha, for real.. I'm a loose Braves fan too. Lowe comes in, and we steal the region football GM after they took Smoltz.
I tell you what, I thought that we would have to endure one more season of Herm and Carl. Looks like we get a GM that knows how to build a championship team, not to mention he's the son -in-law of Mr. Parcells and we may get rid of Herm 'the germ' Edwards and get Mr. Spagnuolo to come in here and turn this defense around. I've been happy houring it since I found out and I am lit up like the fourth of july. I AM STOKED!!!!!!!!!
Clark you do have a set of stones and I was wrond about you...THANK GOD!!!!!!
Any word on a press conf.?
....and I am glad that bars are open early enough for some one to get drunk before the sun sets, now only if my wife will understand....

New England Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli has agreed to become general manager for the Kansas City Chiefs.
"We are very excited to welcome Scott to the Chiefs," chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "With his proven track record of success, Scott is the finest player personnel executive in the NFL, and we look forward to his leadership in building a championship organization." The Chiefs plan to introduce Pioli at a Wednesday press conference. Pioli was seen packing up his office Tuesday afternoon, a Patriots source told ESPN's Michael Smith. "He will have complete charge of football operations," Ryan Petcoff, an assistant to Hunt, told The Associated Press. "He will report only to Clark." The decision to hire Pioli likely means Herman Edwards will not be back as Chiefs head coach next season. Among the top candidates to succeed Edwards is New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. A source close to the situation told ESPN.com's Bill Williamson that Edwards sent his assistant coaching staff home to await word on the future in light of the Pioli hiring news. Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio will replace Pioli as vice president of player personnel, league sources told ESPN.
Now we can really start rebuilding. ur, I promise to never use that term again. Let's start "Building".
Perhaps we can start building after we sober up. :drunkhb:
There you have it folks.
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet pioli is the man things are definantly looking up
Done Deal!
I'm stoked! Could not have asked for any better as a hardcore Chiefs fan. The Future is now! I like Herm but hey if Pinoli likes someone else then I;m cool with that also. Herm will find another job just fine. Good Year- To BE A cOACH
Vandelay,
I believe tomorrow at 5:00
...what? We hired Pioli?! Uh uhhh uhhh...(see video)..
