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.

I would think any interview would happen in New England and not in Kansas City.

I like Mark Ross. Also, Mangini got a bum wrap in NY. He was basically Jimmy Johnson w/the Dolphins. Handcuffed into playing an aging has-been. JJ got more time because of his reputation.

Pioli's not going to fly to KC, Clark will go to him for the interview. It's not like a free agency visit.

So the story may be true, just flip-flopped. It's Clark "in town" to meet with Pioli.

Do we have somebody out at the airport to confirm this?

From the Cleveland Plains Dealer Newspaper:

One thing is certain: The Browns want their coach and GM in complete synch this time, so they'd let each man choose his partner. Pioli and Mangini were once close, but it is unknown exactly where they stand after the yearlong controversy over the Patriots' taping of the Jets' defensive signals.
Pioli left his meeting with the Browns still intent on going through with his scheduled interview with the Kansas City Chiefs. A source told The Plain Dealer on Thursday that the two sides parted ways with no timeframe for a decision from Pioli. The source said a report in the Boston Herald that the Browns gave him a deadline of Thursday was untrue.

Nick "the so called erroneous one" Athan has been all over this story on WPI and has provided information on the when and where of the meeting. However, since he has no credibility here, it would be pointless to quote the info he provided.

Archie Bunker · 01-02-2009, 12:52 PM

I believe it's scheduled for the day before he accepts the Browns' offer.

Ok. That was funny!!!

**Donger** · 01-02-2009, 01:00 PM

With whom exactly is he going to interview? Is it just Clark Hunt?

Interview also seems like a strange way of putting it, unless it is meant as Pioli is interviewing Hunt.
