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.

John Clayton, of ESPN.com, reports it appears unlikely that New England Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli will accept the Kansas City Chiefs vacant general manager position.

Good, time to move on then.

Hopefully this latest is Pioli's agent doing some public negotiating.

Although if he's asking so much that nobody in the league will bite, maybe it's not a huge mistake to go another direction.

We don't even know for sure he was offered the job, or a contract.

According to sources in Cleveland, Pioli showed no interest in the job while speaking to Lerner.

If he goes back to the Pats, I'm looking forward to the endless posts about Clark Hunt being cheap, or not being willing to let Pioli fire Herm.

If Pioli goes back to NE it's cause Pioli never was that serious in the first place.

Meh. No worries.

When you haven't seen them in action, no one can guarantee what a pair of tits will look like unsheathed. It might be a miracle bra. They might be misshapen. There might be some pepperoni action going on...

Let's find another promising-looking one to undress.

Fritz88 · 01-09-2009, 05:19 PM

I really like Polian, maybe more than Pioli.

Exactly, but good luck getting that through to this crowd.

Might all just be play for a raise there.

Fritz88 · 01-09-2009, 05:20 PM

Also, if Poili keeps playing it this way, I do not think any team will ever consider him.

So far now he's been with 4+ teams and he reportedly turned them down.

I also think that he's interested to get out of NE, but he's probably asking for too much.

Don't send this to Clark. He might decide never to hire Pioli.

Translation: his hiring will be announced within the hour.

Because if he wanted the job, he wouldn't need 7 days to decide. The longer this goes, the more likely he is going to just stay with the Patriots.

Honestly, it shouldn't take 7 days to know whether or not you want a job.

Polian or Raye do not equate the end of the world.

Who do you prefer? I've always thought we should try to talk to Decosta once the Ravens are done...
