Yep.

You kind of contradict yourself in this post. Bidwell is cheap but they are more likely to give Andy the carte blanche that he wants to bring in those people.
Can't have it both ways.
We are more likely to give Andy that carte blanche than the Bidwells.

Ian Rapoport is a complete and total ****ing mouthbreather. That football blasting him in the face...he hasn't been close to normal since then. Guy is an idiot.

I don't disagree but we were talking about comparing Reid to Marty.

Kirk Ferentz is the Andy Reid of college football.

-Ian Rapaport.

Thats popular opinion and no he didnt want to deal with Pioli. But 1 phone call to his agent saying I will pay 10 mil more a year gets a returned call.

Well if that is it... it could just be that guy stating fact but kind of hurrying up the timeline a little?

When measured against some of the seasons from the past 6 years, 98 doesnt seem that bad at all.

Im not sure what would make AZ a better gig than SD. Doesn't matter though, he's not going to SD. SD wants the classic GM/Coach system.

ROFL

Good news is it sounded like lazy reporting. Espn has it up, so its legit.

And you know that Clark said to go ahead and check out AZ but to let him counter before he accepts anything from them.

LMAO

If anyone brings up Kirk Ferentz again on 610 unless Iowa is playing Mizzou, Kansas or K-State, they are getting hung up on.

I've been getting the feeling over the last few years that no one, not even the biggest names in the biz, know anything substantial regarding any of these moves. Twitter has made being early on news 100 x more important than being right. I'm getting the feeling that many of these guys have no"sources, other than eachother.

I think some people make a lot of assumptions not based in fact.

ROFL

Westbrook never had more than 177 rushes in a season. During that same stretch of time Priest Holmes was getting 300 rushes a season.

Sometimes, it seems like our mere existence is some kind of ****ing inconvenience.

One interview where the owner finally says some things the fans want to hear and all faith is restored in Chief fans. Everyone is optimistic. Any report of a 2nd or 3rd tier coaching candidate is dismissed as BS because KC is a GREAT place to play where the team is just a QB away from a dynasty.

Of all the things he's said, that one might be right on. :D

i don't think they hate the Chiefs, we are just irrelevant.

They pander to the big markets and/or the impact stories.


until we make some impact they will continue to ignore us.

Well the NFL can suck my cock because without KC there would be no NFL

No it doesn't.

Manning told Clark he wouldn't have worked with Pioli for ANY reason, including an extra $10M on a $100M contract.

Ferentz would have been perfect to lead the 2010 team, when we had Weis running the offense and Romeo the defense. Ferentz could have led the team CEO style and would have been fine more than likely.

True but how many receptions did Westbrook have with those 177 carries? I'm not against Charles having 200 carries if he is getting 75+ receptions out of the backfield... we would still be getting him out in space.

The antics on and off the field were embarrassing, regardless of the win/loss record said.

As I reported earlier this season, Scott Pioli DID sign extension this offseason, which might be hangup to why he's still with #Chiefs.

Sandy Eggo's stadium/financial situation is pretty muddy...

Well.........


The Chiefs need to give them a reason to think otherwise.

I despise espn. But they're one of the most careful in my opinion about posting anything as fact without adding a ton of sources. They're one of the last to report. They didn't List it as a rumor. They stated it as fact.

Hire Pioli and made him highest GM
Hired hottest coaching prospect at the time
Hired Crennel and Weis for 5 million per each

the effort and money have been there ... it just didn't work out.


money shouldn't be an issue with Reid, nor should power.

It's the Planet way.

ROFL

Absolutely agree.

JFC that explains why we are having a lot of this mess... Pioli did sign that extension and now we are trying to figure out how to get rid of him without having to pay him the full money.

ROFL

LMAO

Yeah, all those teams on the Northeast would cease to exist without the Chiefs.

ROFL

Parkins is crushing this Ian guy.

This.

without lamar hunt, his ass could have moved them anywhere and there would have been football.

Sure, and the only real comparison is that after a decade of being close to the ring, they both tried to change up the way they had done things...and maybe in desperation, kind of made some bad personnel decisions.

But Reid's style of coaching is pretty radically different from 'Martyball.'


:eek:

I hate Ian Rappaport, too.

I love the Danny Parkins show

I'd say it seems pretty clear that Pioli signed an extension.

Out of all the coaches out there, I hope we get him.


He is aggresive to a fault.

This has to be it.

who the **** is eric edholm?


pretty hard to believe that Hunt would offer an extension and then fire 2 months later

Eric Edholm ‏@Eric_Edholm

Have not been able to confirm rumors that Pioli and Clark Hunt are negotiating a buyout/severance package but makes some sense. #chiefs

He also averaged 53 receptions per season while he was with the Eagles.

Clark must be a dumb **** to sign him to an extension.

Well that's certainly inaccurate. Like completely, categorically false. He had 3 consecutive seasons above 225 carries including 278 and another 90 catches out of the backfield in 2007.

Honestly, Charles has such good hands and such great HR ability, he's the perfect Andy Reid back. Charles would be an absolute stud under Reid getting about 15 carries/gm while also getting another 5-6 touches out of the backfield.

Reid would be huge for Charles. Charles is the evolutionary version of Brian Westbrook.

Does he mean last off season?

Makes it pretty easy to believe what Hunt said when he said he didn't know what was happening with Pioli.

Well if that's the case, then I think Clark is going to have a tough time firing him. He would then try to hire a coach who could work with Pioli while trying to give them equal footing through this new reporting structure, which will badly backfire...

Clark extended Pioli after the disastrous 2011 season?

And people are happy that Clark is taking a more hands on approach??

Ha. Yeah, that was a bit of an overstatement. We basically WEREN'T a professional team this season, and football still happened.

Yes sir.

Did you know that Trent Green never threw more than 300 passes in a season while in Kansas City?

That's almost as accurate as any assertion that Brian Westbrook never got more than 177 carries/season under Andy Reid.

Stupid post is stupid.

'10.

My only question mark with Reid is the defense. What DC would he bring in and what type of defense would he use?

makes no difference ... the team wasn't winning then or now

ROFL

Todd Haley says 'Not with Matt ****ing Cassel, he wouldn't have been.'

Wide 9 FTW!


j/k :D

Of course it makes sense... if Pioli hadn't signed that extension he doesn't come out doing damage control when sh*t starts hitting the fan earlier this season and we also don't still have him in KC still. At this moment he is still here because Clark is trying to figure out how he is going to weasel his money away from paying Pioli. In the mean time he has pretty much castrated Pioli in KC.

Either at worst case Pioli stays in a role similar to what he had in New England or he is gone soon once we hire the next head coach that doesn't want him (has his own guy).

didn't Reid run a zone blitzing 3-4 for most of his time in philly?

was it 1-gap or 2-gap?

Reid isn't a martyball coach. The question is why a team that has absolutely dominated the NFC in the regular season has had average postseason success. I feel like he's tense or presses in the playoffs. I don't mind the hire. He's better than Marty. But wish people wouldn't create stories that his postseason lack of success hasn't been very, very heavily scrutinized, not just in Philly, but everywhere.

Look, AZ probably set theirs up before Clark got him on the phone. How is that being PROACTIVE?

Clark wants to get his name in the hat, sure, but Reid already made the decision to go there. I think it's a leverage deal. I don't think he us interested in KC he would have notified us.

apparently Reid's wife is from Arizona, if thats the case, they have a HUGE HUGE advantage.

No. He ran a heavy blitz 4-3. Two DEs, two DTs.

If he brings Bowles, that makes me really nervous. If Bowles comes in, we are running two gap. He is a parcells disciple.

Clark,"Hello, Andy, we would like you to come to Kan......"

Reid,"Stop. Before you say anymore, is Pioli and Cassel still in KC?"

Clark,"Well, um, as a matter of fact I am just about to execute both of them as we speak."

Reid,"See you soon."

Seems he's right since a lot of people bought into that shit he said the other day.

Eagles ran a 4-3.

DJ thanks for the bringing up the true Westbrook stats. That is more the stats I remembered and it would be perfect with Charles!

Pioli is the guy that cant land a dime piece of a girl so he accepts the fat girl

hmm well ok different sites show different stats. WTF. I guess I looked something up wrong. My bad sorry.

Ive always said Charles needs more catches

Well, to be fair, he humiliated Pioli. He brought him down a few notches and basically said, he's not in control anymore.

For Pioli, thats gotta hurt your ego a little bit at least, ifnot alot. lol

now ... but before when they blitzed all the time, wasn't that a 3-4?

had that older DC that got sick or something?

meh, he can get any girl he wants once he flashes his bank account.

He flew to ****ing Philly.

If you want to be Debbie Downer, Chiefnj is looking for somebody to hang out with.
