Maybe by that he's meaning they'll have to find one? As in, not having a QB in place rather than trash like Cassel/Sanchez being passed off as the franchise QB. As I see it, the Chiefs effectively have no QBs on the roster. Cassel should be gone, Quinn is a FA and should not be brought back, and Stanzi, who even knows or cares.

he'll have no say in anything other than being a grossly overpaid personnel guy...was pretty successful at being Belichick's bitch in New England if he's going to get paid regardless I see no problem with Hunt holding him hostage as candy wrapper boy

Evidently, he's not sold on Cassel.

I don't know why Pioli would stay on. I wouldn't.

That bothers me too. I really wish it was Morninweig instead. The silver lining is that Chili really likes to run the ball. So there's the balance some of us are looking for.

I was more referring to the fact that Vermeil thinks an owner can be great without having a quarterback. If an owner can't find a GM/HC who can find a franchise quarterback, he's not great owner, now is he?

No, just fire him. Hunt retaining Pioli only shows he cares about losing money with Pioli. Pioli is a freakin' cancer in the organization and doesn't belong anywhere near Arrowhead. Just rip the damn bandaid off.

BUT YEAH

he must have signed an extension prior to the season

he's a slick guy, no doubt...he and Cassel made out like bandits! NO PUN

Hes fine as OC and Reid would be calling the plays anyways.... Think it would be a great hire.

I'm glad Reid just wants to be HC, and not also an OC or GM. Let him be free to be the HC. This is all based on the assumption that Pioli will no longer be here. But if Pioli has no say on players or coaches.....I can live with it I guess. I'd rather he be gone but it would kind of be funny if Clark made him just do bitch work for the franchise while Reid basically called all the shots.

Lots and lots of money to not do anything.

and maybe that's what Clark thinks, too

make him Reid's bitch and maybe he'll settle on a buyout

it's not our money to just throw away

Clark has rectified the situation. Pioli is getting a serious demotion at worst. Who cares now? If people are mad because we hire an accomplished head coach who gets his pick at GM and gets final say...

why do we care if Pioli is fired or not? I guess I just don't get it. He's going to get paid regardless might as well see if he's worth anything to our new guys. Who knows? Maybe he's pretty good in little bitch role.

One thing to monitor on Reid/KC ... Scott Pioli has final say written into his contract. So if he somehow survives, deal might be redone.

Vermeil said Reid did not ask him about how he thought he could co-exist with Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli.
