Eight Out of Ten Kansas City Chiefs Fans Approve Of Off Season Moves

by Chris Thorman on May 10, 2010 8:54 PM CDT in 2010 Kansas City Chiefs Season

Each month this off season, tens of thousand of Chiefs fans were polled to see if they approved of the job Clark Hunt, Scott Pioli, and Todd Haley have been doing at their respective jobs.

As most you know, we've been running polls each month for the last year and a half asking if you as Kansas City Chiefs fans approve of the job the KC leadership was doing.

I'm sure the KC brass would be happy to learn that over 80% of you approve of the job they're doing this off season.

Scott Pioli continues to earn the highest approval ratings each month. Here's why I think that is:

Fans tend to give Pioli the benefit of the doubt because of his supposed "genius" earned in New England;
As the "architect" of the new Chiefs, Pioli is given credit for at least creating a foundation with which KC can move forward with; and,
Guys that wear glasses are smart (I've wore glasses/contacts since the 4th grade. Trust me).

Chiefs head coach Todd Haley, even though he has very high approval numbers, lags behind the Chiefs' GM and owner in terms of fan approval. Here's why I think that is:

Pioli gets more credit for personnel moves;
He's still an unproven head coach; and,
There are probably a certain percentage of fans that will never approve of Haley because of his brash personality.

I won't go into much detail with Clark Hunt. His job was basically over when he hired Scott Pioli. He done good.

Hopefully this can stir up some conversation for the third shift this evening. What are your thoughts on these differences in approval ratings? Or the approval ratings in general?

I think Clark is getting a Soccer type backlash and I don't think it is quite fair to him.

He has stepped up to the plate for the Chiefs and yet some will always feel he hasn’t done anything yet till a SB is in the trophy case.

lol

Seems like we don’t know what we want out of Clark Hunt…He’s all over the place. Pioli and Haley are steady and rising.

Jamaal Charles...Enough said.

You didn't include that...

one out of 10 Chief’s fans will never climb out of their hermetically sealed bubble of “not sure”. The other one out of 10 is obviously trolls.

Left Tackle is Brandon Albert's natural position.

Scott Pioli is like Gregory Peck to me

He is above the fray and though the “Mind” behind the Chiefs, Haley is the “Face” and will get the negative feedback. I think I know what Todd would Say:
F**k that, It is my A** that is on the line and It will be My Way or I Hit the Highway:)

Yeah but we don't know

what the total number of pies consumed is though. I mean, if it’s just 10 pies then yeah, rhubarb and apple cinnamon are worthy of erasure. But if he’s goin all hog wild on the pies and housing 20 pies per day then he’s gonna be eating hella apple cinnamon and rhubarb every week.

Bask in the glory that is Kwame Harris. Poor Alex...
