Official Chiefs/Pioli Thread

[texaschief]

According to Chris Mortenson at ESPN, the Chiefs have officially asked permission to speak with Pioli. Pioli apparently already has a meeting with the Browns who are prepared to give him a "huge offer" and full control and the freedom to bring in Iowa OC, Kirk Ferentz as Head Coach.

Sounds like Clark is having a meeting with him today or very , very soon ! and it also sound like cleveland has " screwed to pooch " so to speak in their dealings with Pioli doing all their talking through the media and giving him a"take it or leave it" situation.Sounds like if the Pioli deal falls through with the browns, they will be talking to Shanahan asap.

i could care less if i changed your perspective or not! I was just giving my opinion on what i thought of pioli. I wasn't trying to change anyone's perspective of anything. But just because you don't think pioli is the man for the job doesn't mean your opinion is right like you seem to think all the time! And me thinking he is is just my opinion but doesn't mean i'm right either!

You called me crazy didnt you? By the way, Its been 3 days. Isnt Herm supposed to get fired today, based on your inside info? Looks like you were right on track.

No i was wrong on the 3 days that i was wrong on. I'm not wrong about herm edwards being fired! And like i said pioli is the man for the job. I really don't care what you say dude...you think your opinion is always the right one! And guess what! It's not! Get a life dude! The whole herm edwards thing has nothing to do with this conversation...stay on the conversation and keep thinking you know everything!

Marty wasn't offered the job, despite what rumors say. He was just brought in for an outside perspective and consultation to Clark Hunt.

i know i read that on espn to unfortuntely. Clark was just getting consultating ideas from marty i read. What a shame.

[I H8 Every Team But KC]

I trust the organization to do the right thing. I just don't want them to throw mad money out there to anyone. It's just not worth it...that being said, I'd like to have Pioli but I am not excited about the coach he wants either.

If Clark thinks enough of Marty to get his opinion on the direction of the Chiefs, why not just hire him as your GM? That whole thing seems kinda strange to me..
And...you mean nobody has invited Peterson in for vacant gm spots? What gives? lol..Denver is looking!!!

If Parcells leaves after their season, Peterson will probably take that job over. A lot of teams know that, which is why they haven't invited him yet. They know they're going to have to wait for the Dolphins season to end before Peterson makes any kind of decision.

Cleveland has the upper hand. I'll be pleasantly shocked if Pioli chose KC. I doubt it. They're offering full control. Clark is going to hire a president and a gm so I wouldn't bet on him choosing KC.
