Chiefs Clark Hunt Statement - Page 70

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."

Says he's willing to spend money, and that they were the 3rd highest cash spending team this year, which he's disappointed in since we sucked dick. But he's not afraid to spend money.

He said 'the' GM, not Scott.

Strongside · 12-31-2012, 02:13 PM

Did Clark just have a freudian slip there? "The new head coach and GM are going to have a lot to think about going into 2013."

Yep

**notorious** · 12-31-2012, 02:13 PM

Clark is going to be the GM.

He doesn't need to rush Pioli's firing if that is what is going to happen.

Sadly, it's a nice option to get punched in the face when the alternative is to get stabbed in the heart.

Good news!

FloridaMan88 · 12-31-2012, 02:14 PM

GM position "solidified"... sounds like Fat Scott is GONE.

No, it isn't.

Clark let the cat out of the bag.

It's done.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 12-31-2012, 02:14 PM

Get ready for your retread, KC.

mcaj22 · 12-31-2012, 02:14 PM

Clark HAS to have specific coaches in mind for this approach

its got to be a big name/retread he wants to come in and just flat out say you gotta get rid of Pioli

Imon Yourside · 12-31-2012, 02:14 PM

I don't think Clark will take a serious look at Chip Kelly after hearing that interview.
