Would you rather have one of those guys or Pioli running the team, or should Clark have gone out right after the season and hired whatever old GM was available (Charlie Casserly, Floyd Reese, etc.) so they could have all the available coaching candidates to choose from?

Obviously the former, but that doesn't mean I or anyone else cannot be disappointed when a head coach candidate that was high on our personal list goes to another team.

I really like Schwartz and hope he's our head coach, period. If I get upset when he is hired by Detroit or another team, that doesn't mean I don't care about the GM, or want us to follow the Cleveland plan, or anything else.

I don't get what waiting until after the SB has to do with anything.

Clark can interview these guys if he wants (he might have already done so).

Pioli has to be the guy. This team needs instant credibility in the front office after years of being run by a clown.

PIOLI PLEASE!!

Anybody else would be a let down to me.

This guy is just an absolute dream. It's the equivalent to signing a 25 yr old Lawrence Taylor in my mind.

Works for me.

I really hope we get the guy, but I'm honestly getting really tired hearing the name "Pioli." It's just being drawn out way too long for me to keep interesting.

I oughtta set up a filter to change the name Pioli to something else.

That is true... but it is not hard to look good compared with the KC sports media.

"Football Jesus"?

Nah... personally, I wouldn't screw with it.

It's been 20 years. It's a pretty big deal.

Can we get a MFing decision already?

So who's to say Bowlen won't go after Pioli now to be the Broncos GM, after he just hired one of Pioli's possible choices of head coach?

If the Chiefs were going to hire Pioli, today should've been the day. What the hell could be drawing this out? This is just like the Browns flirtation with him in that just when you thought he would be named GM, all of sudden, things go quiet and the Browns are suddenly looking in other directions.

I fully expect that when I get on the internet tomorrow morning, there will suddenly be an announcement that the Chiefs will be having a press conference later tomorrow to name Mark Domenick as GM.

At this point I just want Clark to make a hire. I would love to have Pioli but for ****s sake hire somebody.

Fans that want a thorough search for GM are in the minority?

Huh, big surprise.

This is a twenty year decision, if the past is any indication. Clark must get this right.

Agreed.

Just just get it right. I'm in no big hurry.

I'm not in a hurry for the search overall. I'm in a hurry to get the "Pioli" portion of the search done with, one way or another.
