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.

Well that's just reeruned thinking on your part isn't it?

What if the GM ends up being DeCosta from the Ravens? Or someone high up with the Steelers? One of those teams will be in the Super Bowl, which means it'll be weeks before they get hired. In the meantime, other teams are going to hire head coaches, shrinking the pool of available candidates.

Would you rather have one of those guys or Pioli running the team, or should Clark have gone out right after the season and hired whatever old GM was available (Charlie Casserly, Floyd Reese, etc.) so they could have all the available coaching candidates to choose from?

For Chrissakes, I hopes the NFL teams out there leave us with at least one or two guys.

He's another one that's been with BB along time, player and coach.

From a pats fan, what can you tell us about him. Just curious if you like him or not. Also, has he been mentioned that you know of as a DC candidate in the past?

And just to emphasize my point... the latest "scoop" from Adam Teicher...

http://chiefsblog.kansascity.com/?q=node/613

Denny Thum, the Chiefs' interim president and general manager, is assisting chairman Clark Hunt with the selection and said Hunt was hopeful of having the choice made before the Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl will be played Feb. 1.


Wow earth-shattering stuff there, Adam.

And the KC Star wonders why they are near financial ruins?

If Clark is hiring a GM he would likey only do it if he knows exactly what the GM has in mind for coach, assistants, etc. This will all be lined up before there is a final agreement.

He's been with Belichick since forever. Started out at the Giants as a player, then went to join him at the Browns to help turn that team around. Was a de-facto player coach apparently. Then when he came to the Pats he joined him here as well.

Pepper started as a DLine coach the shifted to LB. I was wondering whether he was a DC candidate when Romeo left, but BB brought in Dean Pees from outside the system, somewhat to my surprise.

My sense is that Pepper is a go-between between coaches and players, and a rah-rah kind of coach. "Run through that wall" BOOM! "Do it again!!" BLAM! I'm not sure he's an X's and O's, film nut, etc. that is primed for DC.

But I could definitely be wrong. He's played/coached the game his whole life, and BB clearly thinks highly of him. None of his other former players are coaching for him...

kinda the way i looked at it. I remember some of us on the board thought of him when GRob got canned and we brought Gun back. Maybe he's topped his ceiling as a postion coach.

thanks for the input.
