Chiefs Clark Hunt Statement - Page 35

ShowtimeSBMVP · 10:00 AM

"I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for Romeo, both personally and professionally," Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said. "He is an accomplished coach, a man of great character and he helped guide our football team through some extremely challenging circumstances this season.

"However, I am embarrassed by the poor product we gave our fans this season, and I believe we have no choice but to move the franchise in a different direction. I will immediately begin the search for the next head coach of the Chiefs. The entire football operation will remain under review, and there may be additional changes to come. No final determination has been made at this point on the future of General Manager Scott Pioli.

"Finally, I want to personally apologize to our fans for our performance this season. We are blessed to play for some of the best and most passionate fans in the National Football League and they deserve better than what we gave them this season. I want our fans to know that I will do everything I can to provide them with a dramatically better team - both next season and in the seasons to come - and our entire organization appreciates their support."

The ironic thing is that Pioli is responsible for only one pro bowl starter and one alternate of that group.

People are just believing every rumor and running with it.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 12-31-2012, 11:48 AM

So...

Clark Hunt says he is going to hire the new HC.

Who the **** is helping him? Does anyone actually think he can do this on his own?

Neutering Pioli means nothing - the entire building is Pioli's people.

Imon Yourside · 12-31-2012, 11:49 AM

My dog says Pioli will be retained after he trades a 2nd/3rd round pick for Tom Brady/Bill Belichick.

O.city · 12-31-2012, 11:49 AM

What rumor are we running with? Clark said the team was a huge embarrassment, yet is contemplating keeping the main cause of said embarrassement on in some BS role and stripping away power thats in his job description and was the reason he was hired.

ShowtimeSBMVP · 12-31-2012, 11:53 AM

Here comes Pioli Spin

The Sideline View ‏@SidelineFB

Heard from a source in KC who said Romeo was always late to practices and ran very lax practices. That team might be a coach/QB away

The Sideline View ‏@SidelineFB

WRs didn't have to run out plays in practices for Chiefs. Catch the ball and come back to the huddle. Nobody required to finish plays.

This.

Last night people were hopeful but nervous. This morning everyone was sure Pioli was back, then Hunt releases his statement and everyone backs off. Now that a few hours have passed, people have starting up picking up any clue they can from anyone regardless of any new info.

No one, even Hunt it seems,knows if Pioli is coming back. I do, however, seriously doubt the pro bowlers have any weight on if he comes back or not.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 12-31-2012, 11:54 AM

Pioli HIRED said HC.

He carries just as much of the blame.

It means nothing.

mcaj22 · 12-31-2012, 11:54 AM

lol oh

and they didnt know all those red flags when those exact same things were reported when ROMEO WAS COACHING CLEVELAND

i cant believe this garbage is buying Pioli more time

I'm sure Clark can figure out how to make some phone calls with out Pioli's help.

It's funny. You can almost see Pioli feverishly calling every media contact he has to make it seem like it was all Crennel. Classy.

O.city · 12-31-2012, 11:56 AM

Amazing that the HC did the exact same things he was fired for from another job, again.
