Pioli!! As per chiefsblog.kansascity.com

Update from someone inside the Chiefs organization!! Submitted by Rocky Alden on January 7, 2009 - 6:13pm.

Okay gang, as many of you know I still have friends at the highest level in the Chiefs organization and have this info to share with full confidence: Scott Pioli is the new GM. His announcement will come Thursday or Friday at the latest. Clark and Scott are working out the finer points of his contract tonight, but the deal is sealed. Also, Clark informed Herm Edwards and his coaching staff that they will be released. All assistants can reapply through Scott.

I only share this information because I'm no longer with the team and it's fun to share that a new day is dawning at Arrowhead. Scott Pioli will quickly move to clean out the front office and hire a new coach.

The only info I have on the new coach is it will not be Kirk Ferentz from the Iowa Hawkeyes. Kirk coaches his son at Iowa and does not want to leave until his son graduates.

Mike Shanahan has contacted Pioli, but I don't know any info beyond that.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of Arrowhead Pride's writers or editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of Arrowhead Pride writers or editors.

That's from someone in the comments

If I were a source for major breaking news like this, I’d pick a better place to break it than the comments section of a newspapers blog.

We'll

see soon if this guy has any kind of truth to his blog.

by RedDawn on Jan 8, 2009 4:53 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

It's not a blog

it was a posted comment in 3 or more articles. One of which the “author” named himself Bob Gretz.

The Day Herm Edwards didn't get his team ready to beat the Raiders at Arrowhead is the day he kissed his job goodbye.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehn GOODBYYYEE!

True

I’ll choose to not believe for now but will be more than happy to eat my crow later :)

PT, can you do some digging?

Lets hope Clark lets the new GM start fresh, with his guys. Who would want a coach, who has lost twice as many as he has won in KC?

by Eric Allen on Jan 7, 2009 7:25 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

Sweet

I want those tickets too, SayHeyWerd, but i want them on the field next to KC wolf. Just keep positive and I KNOW Clark will get the right guy!!!!

So if Ferentz is out…. Who is the leading HC canidate?

by 8GlausISaHoss8 on Jan 7, 2009 7:29 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

Let's get the GM first

Then we’ll steamroll into the HC candidates IF Herm is gone.

Man…I’m pumped up about this (and nothing has really happened!).

by primetime 07 on Jan 7, 2009 7:30 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Pioli, Shanahan really?!

Look for a mushroom cloud in the KC area, I am about to explode!!!!

no need to worry about HC candiadates. Do you really think Scott Pioli is going to screw up in choosing a head coach? I mean, its SCOTT PIOLI

by SayHeyWerd on Jan 7, 2009 8:39 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Alright bro I’ll see what I can do haha
McDaniels and Shanahan look pretty awesome candidates to me

Wow

Can this be or are my fragile affections being toyed with?

by FrankPitts on Jan 7, 2009 9:18 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

They're being toyed with most likely

by primetime 07 on Jan 7, 2009 9:24 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Is this even legit??

Just curious if some bum from cleveland is trying to give our hopes up?? Im not sure I agree with getting rid of Herm. The available HCs are not what I want for the future.

Read the comments

We don’t think it’s real…

by primetime 07 on Jan 7, 2009 9:59 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

yea

it sounded to good to be true. Although I have read alot about the Pioli being offered a contract from Clark.

by chiefs56 on Jan 7, 2009 10:03 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

This sounds very fake...lol...

I am playing the old Too Good To Be True ….Card….

“Hey guys, I used to watch Chiefs football on Sundays and I heard that Ray Lewis, Peyton Manning and Randy Moss are coming with him! OH yeah and Jared Allen is coming back, he says its too cold there!”

by woodman212 on Jan 7, 2009 11:33 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

I've heard Jared Allen won't come if Ray Lewis does

But Manning and Moss aren’t bad consolation prizes.

At the KC Star’s Chief blog is over at CBS sportsline and this one is done under the name of “Bob Gretz.” Oh, internet, you are crazy.

was Bob Gretz “no longer with the team”?

I only share this information because I’m no longer with the team and
it’s fun to share that a new day is dawning at Arrowhead.

yea

that sounds about right. that south dakota deal sounds good…..haha

Take it for a grain of salt

It might be the same guy, but someone is posting at Royals Scout that Pioli is in, the entire coaching staff is gone, and Shanahan is being interviewed.

And if I give his friend the Nigerian prince some money, I will be handsomely rewarded.
