Another thing about Andy Reid. Never believe anything he says to the media. I don't know if Chiefs fans like Cassel or not, but if he is hired and asked about Cassel, don't blow your tops if he says something like "I'm a fan of Matt Cassel and I look forward to coaching him here in Kansas City." He could easily say that cut the guy a week later.

He won't ever let his plans out.

The easiest conclusion is very rarely the right one.

If he's here by the time the STH renewals go out, he's here for the duration.

And I won't be.

Christ, the Super Bowl is a month from now.

It will be resolved LONG before then.

for some of your sakes you better hope this gets resolved before the Super Bowl

I for one am in the camp that Pioli is about as sneaky as a used car salesman and with slip by this next month and make it out of this game of shadows still employed in his role.

I just believe he's that type of person that plays the politics behind close doors well to protect himself, throwing anything that will benefit him out there to help


There are like 5 coaches with the resume Clark wants that can come in here and truly convince Clark that Pioli sucks. And if Clark doesnt get one of them....then Pioli wins

My belief is this: Pioli signed an extension.

Therefore, Hunt has a complicated, legal mess on his hands, and he's trying to mitigate some of the overall costs involved in dismissing Pioli.

We know, for a fact, that Pioli has the reverse Midas touch when it comes to all things football. Thus, I don't want him anywhere near the process of hiring the next HC. I don't care if we're not even talking about the interview room--he has no business being a part of the traveling party for these interviews.

In short, I believe the process of firing Pioli is a complicated one. But there's no reason to complicate everything else, especially when Pioli will ultimately have no hand in them.

I wish we knew what time the Reid interview with Arizona was.

But at this point, we probably wouldn't trust anybody that reported it.

Clark doesn't have that luxury.

STH renewals go through the roof if he hires Andy Reid.

STH renewals go into the recycle bin if he hires Gus Bradley.

If it's Andy Reid, it will be resolved THIS WEEK.

I agree with you Deez. I was pretty confidant after listening to Clark that Pioli was as good as gone, now I am not so sure.

They were saying on 610 that the rumor is it would cost $15 mil to buyout Pioli which would be he was extended at some point. Add that to you are paying for 2 years of RAC and will have to pay for a new HC I can see why Clark is not just blowing Pioli out just yet.

Scott Pioli is like the fat bald guy in the House of Lannisters on Game of Thrones. Will manipulate is way through this and come out a winner

Of course not. He's going to try to get these costs down. Good approach. I sure as **** would, too.

What becomes a bit more complicated to explain away as meaningless, without a fair amount of mental gymnastics, is why Pioli would be a part of a traveling party for any types of interviews.

That guy is not a Lanister....just sayin'
