PrintUpdate 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.
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!
lol dude, anyone can say that. Hes most likely to sign within the next couple days and primetimes right why would you comment here?
oh btw, I used to be G.M. and Pioli is gonna sign within the next week.
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?
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?
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!).
Pioli, Shanahan really?!
Look for a mushroom cloud in the KC area, I am about to explode!!!!

Wow
Can this be or are my fragile affections being toyed with?
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.
yea
it sounded to good to be true. Although I have read alot about the Pioli being offered a contract from Clark.
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!”
I've heard Jared Allen won't come if Ray Lewis does
But Manning and Moss aren’t bad consolation prizes.
ME! As per myblog@whowantstobelieveanidiot.com
I am no longer affiliated with anyone so I can share this news with you:
I have purchased a 1,000,000 pound gold reserve and am inviting everyone of you and your family’s to enjoy an oceanfront property in South Dakota for the remainder of your lives. You wont have to work again and you can enjoy the spoils of life from here to eternity! I just need you to send me a certified $1,000.00 money order to complete this deal first. Go Chiefs!
We need a future defensive leader, his name is James Laurinaitis and he can be selected in round 1 of the upcoming Draft.
"But what do I know, I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
Hey come on now
I live in South Dakota!

Beat the Donkeys!!
and since when
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.

No
Keep Shanahan away, Id rather give Herm a chance with his Rebuilding.
Put the pipe down and step away.
Herm?, Seriously?
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?
Pioli
I think we need to get Pioli and get the ball rolling Im just not seeing Shanahan as our future head coach. Herm over Shanahan!!!!!!
No way, Herm has destroyed this team!

Well...
it worked on me. Got me all warm and fuzzy inside. Oh well. I guess we shall all see.
Pioli!!!!!!
Sounds to me by your prediction that you know the same thing as all the rest of us. Which is “ABSOLUTELY NOTHING”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
