A person within the organization-that is all I can say without revealing too much.

:DROFL

I don't think he was ever offered the job. Apparently when they met things didn't click for whatever reason. All of the rumors that Pioli made a lot of demands have been debunked. When Mangini became available what remaining interest the Browns had with Pioli went out the window. Lerner went with Mangini and it looks like he will pursue Kokinis with Mangini's blessing.

Thanks BigChiefFan, this is promising news.

Right on thanks :thumb: I believe it is getting close :titus::popcorn:

The suspense...


is PISSING ME OFF!!

Or he goes into Bob Kraft's office and says "hey, they're offering me $5MM per year. Can you match it?"

And Bob says "Do you have that in writing?"

Scott: "Yep, see, right here"

(hands him contract)

Bob: "Five million. OUch. Bill?

Belichick: "It's your money, but you know what I think of him."

Bob: "Ok, five million it is. Tell the Chiefs to ____ off."

Scott: "Ok. I like lobster more than BBQ anyway."


:p

:shake:

It's been awhile so....

Interesting take on Pioli from the Boston Globe chat area:

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 (money & control), 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.

I have it on good authority that I love you.

My source whos a friend of a source whos sister source is a friend of a source who knows Scott Pioli's Wife says the deal is done, Pioli to KC.

That's just so mean. :(

What can I say, I'm rooting the other way on this one. :evil:
