The Pioli Watch Thread
 
I'm hijacking the thread starter to use for an "updates" area. Sorry cardken. Here are a few recent updates:

The vice president for player personnel at New England, Pioli, 43, is close to Patriots coach Bill Belichick and has been with the Patriots for nine years. Pioli would find a warm welcome in Kansas City. At the last Chiefs' home game, shortly after the embattled Carl Peterson resigned after 20 years as president, general manager and CEO, several signs were spotted in the crowd proclaiming, "We want Pioli." Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Why exactly?

Because Bill Williamson writes for one of the Denver papers.

If he wrote for the Star, he'd be saying that the KC job is the best one available.

just forget about Pioli ..... too much competition for us to get him.


since when have the chiefs ever won ANY KIND of competition

Bill Williamson used to write in Denver too. Of course he's gonna say that. Although it is probably one of the most attractive jobs out there.

Ok... makes sense. It just seemed he was spouting off without giving a reason as to why it's such a good gig relative to the others.

I think Pioli would probably be a good GM, but I also think there are several candidates out there that would be quite servicable for the Chiefs. So I'm not getting bent out of shape if he goes somewhere else. If he wants to be our GM he'll be here; if not, someone else will be. I'm can't quite understand the Pioli lovefest that seems to be running rampant on ChiefsPlanet lately.

1. Offense (or at least its possibilities with a good, healthy RB)
2. Level-headed owner, who has shown willingness to shell out huge amounts for FAs
3. Location

4. Owner also willing to shell out large amounts of cash to Coach and GM.

Just a gut feeling, but it won't be the end of the world if we ended up with Polian and not Pioli.

Really not being a homer, but with our draft position, and cap status, I don't see how any job would be a more ideal situation for a new GM than this one.

That is very homerish.

Cleveland and Denver are much better options.

KC is still pretty decent place to land though

There are a lot of things to look at.

1) Size of the metro area - this goes a long way to determining revenue streams for individuals as well as the team.

2) Owner (financial security, willingness to spend money, commitment to winning)

3) Stadium

4) How many pieces are currently in place

5) franchise reputation
