Chiefs SOC says Clark slammed Pioli - Page 4

**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.

He knew ( through Pioli ), then he found out the truth last night.

Understand now.

Goes with what I heard in the whole PM process fiasco.

Probably holding on to Pioli until their lawyers get everything together to fired him with cause and without pay...

If the Chiefs wait until late January or February to try to find a GM to replace Fat Scott, most of the quality candidates will already be hired at that point.

Senior Bowl is January 26th... it would be nice to have the HC and GM for 2013 in place by then.

He needs to do it with a pair of pliers and a mother****ing blowtorch...

Peyton knows that we're a threat. He knows that once Geno Smith arrives, people are going to forget that he ever existed.

Fire Romeo and leak out info like this to appease the angry part of the fanbase and media. Likely nothing will change as far as who does what (Pioli is still in charge) and as soon as the team starts winning again people will be OK with whatever.

I was thinking this too, but isn't Scott Pioli too egotistical to not get praise if we do start winning?

He doesn't watch the games. He's admitted as much.

This.

I don't buy the whole "Clark decided during/after the Denver game" BS.

Most intelligent post you've ever made

It slipped my mind. I've been following all this HC'ing drama hoping that nobody snags McCoy and Del Rio.
