Do we face more C-USA teams if we play a 43?

Yes. We play the Raiders twice a year.

It is not that simple. There are some outlandish theories being volleyed about to try to account for Pioli's presence in ATL.

If you're only working on a buyout, you don't bring excess baggage. That's the simple, common sense approach.

You think Pioli needs to meet face-to-face with Dimitroff? They don't know each other well?

Lots of agility needed to justify something that can more easily be put to rest by citing incompetence on Hunt's part.

a lot of questions would be easily answered if we knew Piolis REAL contract, what he is getting paid, length, etc.

That would answer everything. The fact that it is some hidden gem makes me wonder why it is hidden, how much is he really getting paid to field a 2-14 product. And seems to be the potential root of why Clark is stuck in this mess to begin with.

Because it should be as easy as just ****ing fire him, like AJ Smith, Rod Graves, Tannebaum, etc. Just fire him. But apparently it's not. So it's either Clark really likes him or the contract.

Make his daily activity to watch Marcus Allen tape from late in his Raider career.

I was talking more about the posters than anything.

He can't give a handjob over the phone.

You also need to dismiss a lot of other factors to make your theory work as well.

As a business that is preparing to fire an employee, do you give him a week off before his dismissal, or do you make him work that week?

This.

Ridiculous.

Like?

Honestly, there's really no one that excites me. If going the coordinator route, I'd probably go Gus Bradley.

But that's not happening.

Clark needs a 3-run HR-type hire or Arrowhead will be empty for years to come - and he knows it.

He can't hire a Dirk Koetter, Ray Horton or Gus Bradley and expect the fanbase to get behind him. Plus, going the HC first route, even if he were to hire one of those guys, who is going to come here to GM for a 1st year HC they didn't choose, who reports directly to the owner?

Clark has pretty much painted himself into the corner of a high-profile guy that wants total control, or has an existing relationship with a solid personnel guy - Reid/Heckert, as an example.

I believe that Clark threw the kitchen sink at Bill Cowher, and the job is his if he wants it. Reports today say he has no interest in coaching - coincidentally, Clark proactively flew to Philly today to beat Arizona to Andy Reid.

So all that to say no one gets me excited - but I think that Andy Reid is probably the best remaining choice.

He'll fill the stadium, and give the organization some much needed credibility.

His personnel choices worry me though, as does his gameday decision making - plus the fact that his personal life is a goddamn trainwreck.

If Reid goes to Arizona though, I'll be extremely concerned. Not much to pick from that meets Clark's criteria.

If you've lost all confidence and respect for his football opinions? Yeah, I don't allow him around my organization; he's not accompanying me on business trips.

I like Arians as much as I like Reid. What's your take?

Didn't expect you to explain yourself.

I was just curious.

A rather bleh (minus Geno, potentially) QB class and HC group - both which the Chiefs need the most.

This fan base are such masochists.

Where did you read this?

The fans would be behind Gus Bradley pretty quickly. He's the type of guy this town would love in time.
