Star just reported that CBS was wrong, and there is no extension offer. Source: No contract extension for Chiefs’ Pioli - KansasCity.com
I still want to have faith in Hunt. He understands business. I don't believe he's just in it to make more money and screw the chiefs and their fans. He made a bad decision, which at the time would have been hard to see, since SP looked like a great personnel guy. I think he'll make some good decisions after this mess.
Lets think about this Clark Hunt just scraping by to pocket the money. There is not one entrepreneur that will tell you a winning football team will not make more money than a loosing one. It's basic business sense that more profit comes with more customers. Clark wants that stadium to have a season ticket holder waiting list.
I agree Pioli was a good choice by Hunt at the time and still could be. I don't agree with firing Scott at this point but I believe the owner needs to show some influence in the direction this mess of a team is going to head.
Best news all day....really all year about the Chiefs
Great news !! Pioli isn't the guy to be the GM in KC. He tried, he failed -- time to move on.
Agreed. He has hired two coaches, both have failed. It is either them or him, either way he needs to be gone.Quote:

former Chief Bill Maas, now commentator, claims Pioli gone this week.

I would not take anything Bill Maas says as credible. He is not a credible reporter and to my knowledge has only used rumors which he generally starts from either opinions of other people who are not a credible source or from his own personal opinion.Quote:

he makes some good points, but I don't think it is going to happen. If Clark lets Pioli go, he has to have someone in the organization, or someone in the wings to come in and continue to run the team. Hunt is not going to do it. I could see that person being Marty, but I think that is a long shot.Quote:

My buddy is a Dolphins fan and laughed when I mentioned Dabol at the beginning of the year.
I never said he or any commentator was. its his opinion. which are like aholes. still he brought up some good info about past teams he played on and compared them to the presentQuote:

Because his offense was always oustanding in the running game. Now I realize it is because that is all they do. 3rd and Fifteen... Lets run with Draughn..... They won't expect it. Look a six yard run... YES.. Pad those stats... Who cares if we are down by 17. Six yards an any run is good. If you get six yards every time you run that is a first down guaranteed in 3 plays.. you know...Quote:

San Diego. Cassel to Bowe Long pass in 4th qtr.Quote:

Its hard to get my son to watch more than a quarter of a game but how the chiefs suck this year its been very easy for.me to change the channel and dont have to listen to my son beg for me to change the.channel.
I don't know. Now that he is facing adversity and feeling the heat. He may be humbled a little to change things around cause what he has done so far isn't working.Quote:
