uggghhh...i hope DeCosta is getting on Clark's private plane the second BAL loses...

according to ChiefPlanet.com:

So Pioli may or may not be hired.

He may or may not have complete control, if hired.

Pioli and Mangini may or may not have have problems.

WTF is the point of this piece? Why bother?...

Exactly.

Clint?


oh ... nvm

His overall won-lost record is kind of misleading, considering about 30% of his losses happened in his first 3 seasons.

last 8 years - 66-34 - 2 Big 10 titles - 7 bowl games vs Texas Tech, USC, Florida (x2), LSU and Texas, South Carolina

recruited:
# 2003 – Dallas Clark, Indianapolis (24th)
# 2004 – Robert Gallery, Oakland (2nd)
# 2006 – Chad Greenway, Minnesota (17th)

I think Nate Kaeding too...

Didn't he recruit Bob Sanders?

I honestly dont care who we hire, right now a sun dried dead toad would make me giddy with hope for the future. That alone should be why a GM would want to come here, they could walk out at half time and punch all the chiefs cheerleaders in the teeth and kick them in the cooters, ending this halftime ritual with a giant soft-serve shit on KC Wolf's face, and all the Cheifs fans would still cheer because it is simply not Carl Peterson. That could last for at least 3 years as long as we are mediocre with showings ofimprovement before we catch on again and realize its starting the same shit all over again.


In reality I would think that Pioli would want to hear KC's offer before accepting the Browns. If the Chiefs are willing to match, and then one up the Browns, would he sign with us, or play the 2 off each other?

I thought Kirk Ferentz was supposed to be the Browns next head coach?

Say hello to your 2009 Browns!

GM - Pioli
HC - Mangini
OC - ??
DC - Romeo Crennell

Say hello to 6-10.

according to WPI:




According to Cleveland's newspaper Pioli is going to go ahead and talk to Clark so I guess we will find out in short order which is true. I really hope the Chiefs don't get used by Pioli to sweeten his deal with the dumb ass Browns.

Can someone tell me who the likely GM targets would be if not Pioli or Schottenheimer?

BROWNS WANT ANSWER FROM PIOLI TODAY
Posted by Mike Florio on January 1, 2009, 10:34 a.m. EST

Browns owner Randy Lerner wants Patriots V.P. of player personnel Scott Pioli to take over Cleveland’s football operations.

And, according to the Boston Herald, Lerner wants an answer right now.

Well, not right now. But today.

Per the Herald, Lerner and Pioli met Wednesday in New York. Citing unnamed sources with the Browns organizations, the Herald reports that there’s a feeling that Pioli made “demands so high that perhaps he really doesn’t want to leave” New England.

The Browns reportedly made a “huge” financial offer. Again, however, “unnamed sources” say that “some of his demands were impossible for any team to meet.”

Though we routinely dabble in unnamed sources, we’re also sensitive to their potential agendas. In this case, if the unnamed sources are currently employed in any type of a football capacity by the Browns, the unnamed sources have a very keen interest in doing anything they can to avoid the arrival of a guy who’d come in and fire whoever needs to be fired.

And as to the notion of the Browns wanting to force the issue, one of our readers pointed out Wednesday that the Browns went down this same path ten years ago, when they wanted a quick answer from Brian Billick — and got Chris Palmer instead.

So just as Billick landed in Baltimore, the Browns could be pushing Pioli into the arms of the Chiefs.
