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.

I really hope we get Pioli. I think he's ready and he knows what the **** he's doing.

My fingers are crossed. He is far and away my favorite candidate to lead us to glory.

I just got this weird email....has anyone else received this?

Okay gang, as many of you know I posted a message last week that stated that Clark had hired Scott Pioli and would announce it on Thursday or Friday. Clark wasn't very happy with me that I shared that information. I still have full confidence that Scott Pioli is the new GM. His announcement will come when Clark thinks it's appropriate. I have been summarily canned for letting the news out prematurely. I will say this though, Clark and Scott have worked out the finer points of his contract and the deal is sealed.

I only share this information because I've been fired from the organization effective immediately, but it's still fun to share that a new day is dawning at Arrowhead. Clark has moved quickly to clean out my office and I'm positive Scott will do the same with the rest of Carl's old staff before hiring a new coach.

Jim Schwartz is the name that has been mentioned many times by Clark and Scott. I know that they have discussed the possibility of bringing him in for an interview after Scott's hiring is announced.

Mike Shanahan continues to harass Pioli, but I don't know any info beyond that.

According to "League Sources," as the Chiefs continue to interview, they await Pioli's decision.

Quote:

Kudos to Kansas City chairman Clark Hunt, who has conducted one of the quietest general manager searches the NFL has seen.

In recent days, the Chiefs have interviewed at least a half-dozen general manager candidates, according to multiple league sources, yet only a handful of the names actually have surfaced.

Candidates interviewed include New England’s vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli, San Diego’s director of player personnel, former Denver general manager Ted Sundquist, former Titans general manager Floyd Reese and former Chiefs coach Marty Schottenheimer.

League sources insist that the Chiefs are waiting on Pioli, that he is their No. 1 candidate for the job. If the two sides cannot agree on a contract, then Kansas City will be prepared to move on. But apparently it still is in talks with Pioli, though no decision is imminent.
