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.

While it's true that there will be a lot of pissed off people here, and based on the outright lies that have been circulating out there with the lack of news, I don't doubt there will be lies made up about why he didn't accept, the silver lining is that if choice #2 fires Herm, jubilation will return.

The only way this turns into disaster is if three guys turn us down and we end up going with choice #4 and keep Herm...

A qualified someone from the Ravens or Steelers organizations would be fine by me.

All in all, if it took Clark this long to negotiate Pioli, I am sure we are in the right direction. Let this shit take as long as it does, Clark will make a pick that is sure to benefit this team greatly.

This sucks, but there are other qualified candidates. Just as long as it had nothing to do with a refusal by Hunt to get rid of Edwards...

Elaborate.

EVERYBODY, call the season ticket hotline and tell them you would be interested in ST, only if Pioli is hired and Herm is fired, then they can call you. Maybe after they compile a list of 5000 ppl in an hour, it will help to push this mess over the edge!

I hear Nick "The Erroneous One" Athan is getting ready to decode his next Scoop once he figures out what 'W' translates to using his secret decoder ring. This could be big!

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.

I was wondering the same thing. At what point does all this begin to hurt his rep. Then again there are always the Jerry Joneses who will take the flash over rep anytime.

I don't think that's even in play.

Why is anyone taking John Claytons word for anything? A few days ago he said it looked like Pioli would take the job. Did he? No. So why would Clayton saying that it looks unlikely mean anything?

It is his opinion, nothing more.
