...NE has proven in the past decade that they know how to build a championship squad. And this is one of the main men who came up with the winning equation!

I will take him! :bananen_smilies046:
I feel like I am xmas shopping now!...with Clark's money...and my opinion has about as much weight as the dog sh!t in the back of my yard! :lol: Oh well! What a great morning!
this isn't going to happen. Why would Pioli leave NE for KC... but on the off chance he does, great I guess. He's an alma mater at my college.
We have already played this game when we got Vermiell but he didn't take us to the SB like he did with St. Louis and whoever else he did it for. What we got to show for it was a bunch of players whose heads grew big(Jared Allen, LJ, Dante Hall and whoever else forgot how to play team ball. We got rid of Dante Hall, good riddance! After he did the late shows he just didn't do very well. Of course, Jared Allen could have been taught team basics again and he would of been ok. LJ - obviously when he can't get what he wants he doesn't play his best.

Nothing like having someone rebuild a team that has done it before, especially when they have helped build a dynasty.
I disagree, Pioli interviewed for the Atlanta position last year. As for small market, the Chiefs are head and shoulders above the falcons when it comes to a storied franchise. Pioli rejected the job not because of money....so no it wont take a lucrative deal to get him here....he just wanted more control than the falcons were offering him. Carl's job is a whole lot more attractive in that he would have all that control over the organization compared to what he would have had at Atlanta.Quote:

Clark Hunt has said that he is going to choose two people to replace Carl, one for the GM duties and one for the business duties.Quote:

This was what I was referring to, boston has the nba champions had the suberbowl and world series champions. A little bit more prestige in Boston than KC. I love KC, but as a paid professional it would take one hell of a deal to lure me away from a city with the stature Boston has.
that is wear the confusion was. i was talking about football in general.the patriots were a nobody untill this last run. they were the bengals of their timeQuote:
