Chiefs SOC says Clark slammed Pioli - Page 3

**petegz28** · 12-31-2012, 03:13 PM

Latest email I got is that Clark isn't ****ing around, which is obvious from interviews. I've been out most of the day, but the email came in before Clark went on the air.

The directive is no one from the football operations side is to speak until their final notice has been given either with a termination or a return.

Clark is trying to force Pioli's hand and have him quit. Clark had a heated discussion with Scott this morning according to this email. Clark told him he won't have any say in this head coach because "this head coach will be here longer than you will".

Then there's this piece of info. Clark talked with Peyton Manning at length Sunday night. He wanted to know why the Chiefs weren't considered and everything Peyton said pointed the finger squarely on Pioli. Said Pioli's rep across the league is terrible. His inability to foster a "team" environment instead of one ruled like a dictator was huge too.

This really pissed Clark off. I said in a previous post that the loss could have triggered all of this, but it's apparent the PM discussion could have as well.

I'm completely shocked to say the least. Everything, and I mean everything, I've been told paints Clark as someone with a school boy crush on Pioli.

Clark wants to make a splash. He also wants to save the money from just firing Pioli. With all the lawsuits that former employees have pending against the Chiefs that list Pioli, Clark may have a case to fire him with definite cause.

Source said that Clark changed overnight toward Pioli.

Take it for what it's worth.

You should probably shut your whore mouth rookie.

If Hunt didn't know why PM didn't want to come until last night then Hunt is a ****ing dumb idiot.

BullJunkandIron · 12-31-2012, 03:42 PM

He knew we had Matt Cassel.

Knowing is one thing. Hearing it first hand and confirming it might sting a little more. No more denial when you get it from the horsefaces mouth

I'm guessing he did sign an extension w/Pioli in the summer and Clark's lawyers are still trying to figure out how to get rid of him while saving $.

**Rain Man** · 12-31-2012, 03:45 PM

If a division rival's quarterback says we should get rid of our GM, shouldn't we be keeping our GM? We should be firing our GM if the opposing quarterback says stuff like, "Keep him! Give him a raise! Let him run your draft unhindered!"

TOTAL BS

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Peyton Manning is scared to death that the 2-14 Chiefs are going to improve so quickly that it would matter to him.

I'm curious to what GM/Coach/QB you want to go with.

The rumors about the extension all intimated that it had buyout language that was more favorable to the Chiefs than the original contract. In fact, some of the reports suggested Pioli wouldn't sign it because of the buyout clause.

This GM that supposedly became useless today is still in office.

Show me you give a shit, Clark.

Show some patience. Pioli is gone but let Clark do it surgically instead of using a sledge hammer.
