ROFL

it would be awesome if the first thing he said was:

"Kansas City, I have a 5 year.....................CD with Bank of America"

:grr:

think im gonna tivo this shit. history in the making

That, and he managed to be creative by changing the style of offense we ran to more of a pistol spread formation to suits the talents and needs of what he had to work with.

Personally I think Gailey is a playmaker and may well be worth keeping.

Man all the losing this year was sure hard to watch.

But Gawd Damn this lousy ass season was worth every bit.

A top Patriots guy in for King Carl and Herm sent packing in favor for a guy that a top Patriots guy will pick.

Ah yeah......it was worth every bit.

But on the other hand, some of the playcalling from Gailey was questionable.

And I also come to question his adjustments during the latter half of games something to keep in mind for Pioli thats for sure.

I know its an easy guess but I just don't want to take a bunch of crap when the source is wrong. Never happened yet but it will.

If Clark wouldn't have sent Carl packing names like Spagnuolo wouldn't even be being mentioned. A guy like him would never work for Carl. We would be talking about bringing in Shottenhiemers Son or Paul Hacket for head coach.

If it works out the Chiefs just stole top talent from two of the best teams in the NFL.

Unheard of in these parts. Clark Hunt deserves HUGE props for dealing with the big boys and coming out on top.

Pioli's hiring puts K.C. back on the football map

By Michael Blunda
Jan. 13, 2009

The Chiefs have hired Patriots VP of player personnel Scott Pioli as head of football operations, according to our sources.

Pioli had spent nine years in the Patriots' organization, most recently as vice president of player personnel, helping put together three Super Bowl-champion teams.

Pioli's arrival means the end of Herm Edwards' time in Kansas City, as PFW's sources have told us that Pioli has asked Edwards and his staff to clear out their desks at Chiefs headquarters. Edwards was 15-33 in three seasons as the Chiefs' head coach.

The PFW spin

The arrival of Pioli in Kansas City signals a ray of hope for a franchise desperately in need of a change at the top.

After 20 years as president, general manager and CEO of the Chiefs, Carl Peterson had gotten stale. His past 11 seasons included only two postseason appearances, and K.C. hadn't won a playoff game since 1993. His resignation last month was the first step in a structural overhaul of the organization.

Owner Clark Hunt's hiring of Pioli is the next significant step. Considered one of the sharpest minds in the game today, Pioli joined the Patriots in 2000 and quickly worked his way up the ranks. During his tenure in New England, the Pats ascended to join the NFL's elite, winning three Super Bowls and five division crowns.

The only thing Pioli was missing in New England was the title of general manager, something he now can claim in Kansas City. As head of football operations, the 43-year-old has a monumental challenge in front of him: transforming a team that has won six games over the past two seasons into a consistent contender. And after watching two clubs — Atlanta and Miami — go from doormats to playoff qualifiers in one season, the pressure is on.

Pioli's first step is going to be bringing in a whole new coaching staff.

It's likely that Pioli will follow in the footsteps of Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff, another former Pats executive, and hire a defensive-minded head coach to turn the Chiefs around. Since he'll probably choose from the ranks of NFL coordinators, the top candidates appear to be the Giants' Steve Spagnuolo, the Vikings' Leslie Frazier and the Dolphins' Paul Pasqualoni. Each has led a very effective defensive unit and has experience running a 3-4 scheme, which Pioli wants to employ, we hear.

If Pioli opts to explore the collegiate ranks, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz would be an obvious choice, since the two are very close from their days together in Cleveland. However, Ferentz looks like more of a long shot at this point, because not only is he an offensive coach but also a larger risk, coming from the college level.

Getting a new head coach in place will be the first of many moves Pioli will need to make if he hopes to breathe new life into the franchise. But at least his hiring proves that the Chiefs, one of the league's most respected organizations, are once again serious about winning.

<!-- THE POST -->

I haven't seen this thread, just the title....because if there's anyone in it that posted how they hated the pats....well then....all I have to say is you love them when it comes time to pick up some of their staff.

So far ex pat's coaches have been busts when gone from the organization. We'll see how this shapes out.

Thank you Jesus! Can I get an Amen!!

****ing told you.
