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

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.

Nothin that doesn't seem obvious, i just think that Rivera has done a really good job this year and after being a hot candidate in the past he doesn't seem to be a name that is brought up very much now.

Rivera is a stud.

The guy took over mid-year and completely fixed the defense that Cottrell tried to ruin.

I would love to have him as a HC. He looks like he belongs as an ass-kicker on Fantasy Island.

His announcement will come Thursday or Friday at the latest. Clark and Scott are working out the finer points of his contract tonight (money & control), but the deal is sealed. Also, Clark informed Herm Edwards and his coaching staff that they will be released. All assistants can reapply through Scott.

I only share this information because I'm no longer with the team and it's fun to share that a new day is dawning at Arrowhead. Scott Pioli will quickly move to clean out the front office and hire a new coach.

The only info I have on the new coach is it will not be Kirk Ferentz from the Iowa Hawkeyes. Kirk coaches his son at Iowa and does not want to leave until his son graduates.

Mike Shanahan has contacted Pioli, but I don't know any info beyond that. __________________

I feel we're getting all worked up into panic mode, when we don't know a damned thing yet.

Take a deep breath, count to 10... close your eyes and repeat to yourself, "Carl Peterson is gone."

Have some patience. Whatever happens, it aint gonna get worse.

You are right. I forgot that "reeruned" is not PC anymore. Post corrected.

If you didn't quote it, it would have only been on that page.

Plus he cut his teeth under Jim Johnson in Philly. And played under Buddy Ryan. That covers the C2, 3-4, 4-6, and Johnson 4-3.

I think i read that he didn't interview well in the past while with Chicago but I'm sure he has learned from those experiences. Plus in the case of Raye, he sure wouldn't bother interviewing him if he thought he couldn't handle it having worked with him.

Women ARE allowed to change their minds. That has always been the accepted norm.
