Chiefs Clark Hunt Statement - Page 34

ShowtimeSBMVP · 10:00 AM

"I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for Romeo, both personally and professionally," Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said. "He is an accomplished coach, a man of great character and he helped guide our football team through some extremely challenging circumstances this season.

"However, I am embarrassed by the poor product we gave our fans this season, and I believe we have no choice but to move the franchise in a different direction. I will immediately begin the search for the next head coach of the Chiefs. The entire football operation will remain under review, and there may be additional changes to come. No final determination has been made at this point on the future of General Manager Scott Pioli.

"Finally, I want to personally apologize to our fans for our performance this season. We are blessed to play for some of the best and most passionate fans in the National Football League and they deserve better than what we gave them this season. I want our fans to know that I will do everything I can to provide them with a dramatically better team - both next season and in the seasons to come - and our entire organization appreciates their support."

Well, right now, let's be clear. No head coach today can succeed without not just a good qb, but an elite one. Thanks to the stupid nfl rules limiting defenses. But I think McCarthy and Payton are phenomenal coaches even if they are nothing with even a good qb versus an elite qb. But when qbs meant less, people forget that new England dominated in a non qb era with a dominant defense and Brady playing more of a game manager role.

Welp, this pretty much rules out getting an up-and-coming GM like a Russ Ball, Dorsey, Ross, etc.

Hiring the HC first likely means getting pigeon-holed into a guy that wants full control - a setup that rarely works.

Apparently, even firing an incompetent GM is a process.

Well....

Devaney was hired as the full time GM before Spags was yet Spags had final say on personnel. So it's possible that an opposite circumstance could occur, just seems unlikely.

**The Franchise** · 12-31-2012, 11:45 AM

If the Pro Bowl saved Pioli....than Hunt is a reerun and I'm done with this franchise.

Pisoli had to be working the phones, calling in "debts" to get them all voted in

Like I said, a setup that rarely works.

And at this point, we can't hire a GM, because we haven't fired the one under contract.
