Chiefs SOC says Clark slammed Pioli

**petegz28** · 12-31-2012, 03:13 PM

Latest email I got is that Clark isn't ****ing around, which is obvious from interviews. I've been out most of the day, but the email came in before Clark went on the air.

The directive is no one from the football operations side is to speak until their final notice has been given either with a termination or a return.

Clark is trying to force Pioli's hand and have him quit. Clark had a heated discussion with Scott this morning according to this email. Clark told him he won't have any say in this head coach because "this head coach will be here longer than you will".

Then there's this piece of info. Clark talked with Peyton Manning at length Sunday night. He wanted to know why the Chiefs weren't considered and everything Peyton said pointed the finger squarely on Pioli. Said Pioli's rep across the league is terrible. His inability to foster a "team" environment instead of one ruled like a dictator was huge too.

This really pissed Clark off. I said in a previous post that the loss could have triggered all of this, but it's apparent the PM discussion could have as well.

I'm completely shocked to say the least. Everything, and I mean everything, I've been told paints Clark as someone with a school boy crush on Pioli.

Clark wants to make a splash. He also wants to save the money from just firing Pioli. With all the lawsuits that former employees have pending against the Chiefs that list Pioli, Clark may have a case to fire him with definite cause.

Source said that Clark changed overnight toward Pioli.

Take it for what it's worth.

So Clark Hunt calling Peyton Manning isn't against league rules?

yes cause walking out to the 50 yard line after the game or going to a locker room or suite hanging out is calling and searching for Peyton Manning lol

he probably saw him 100 times in person yesterday. Surely conversation is conversation

Bunch of words not on paper, who cares?

Sports is a results business, Clark. I'm seeing no results.

Maybe thats why Clark said he was embarrassed and mentioned product on the field and winning about 50x in his interview today.

Oh yea, he doesn't care, I forgot.

I'd be shocked if he talked to Peyton Manning last night. I'm sure Clark knew why Peyton didn't visit KC way back in March.

He spoke to him after the game. Plus he did know why Peyton didn't come to honor his promise, it was Pioli as I stated. Peyton reaffirmed Clark last night to the reason and it ticked Clark off even more.

This.

I don't buy the whole "Clark decided during/after the Denver game" BS.

Clark also needs to talk to Jeff Fisher. Pretty sure he would get the same feedback that he got from PM.

I'd keep Pioli around in a diminished role... stairwell duty. It fits his talent evaluation expertise.

Its way too good for him unless he opts to be a human spittoon as well. Then they have my blessing to keep him.
