Scott Pioli headed to KC -- Edwards likely out

[Da Bomb]

Huge news!!

Pioli can turn that team around in a hurry, although they have a lot of turning to do. Rumor is that Herm Edwards will likely be out of a job with this move as well as Pioli rebuilds from the top down.

Interesting to see just what Pioli can do, given the speculation of who has been doing what in New England.

First move would have to be removing Edwards though, that would (should) be a given for anybody taking over that club.

 

[Da Bomb]

WE CAN BUILD ON THIS!!!

 

[Mike]

With Edwards out, the players will be allowed to say bad words in training camp again!

Chefs could pull off a pretty big rebound if he gains the proper amount of authority. He needs to purge the lineups of dead weight. We also see who was the real wizard behind the Patriot's curtain; Pioli or Belicheck?

 

[Mike]

It was the cameraman!

YOU PLAY.

TO WIN.

THE GAME.

 

[Miller]

Should be interesting to see what he does and who he brings in here.

I love it when people in positions of authority make statements like these. That one was an all-time classic. It's like they feel as though they have some profound insight that nobody else can see. I remember when George W. was speaking loudly to the press about how beheadings in Iraq were bad. He kept rephrasing it and repeating himself as if nobody really agreed with him...

Beheadings are BAD? You don't say. You play to WIN the game? Really...? I didn't know that.

Pioli may be the most hyped GM I can think of to land with a new team. The expectations are going to be unrealistically high considering he built his name largely on the (dumb luck) drafting of Tom Brady #199 overall.

It'll be interesting to see whether Pioli can continue his success with a new franchise and whether it'll be good enough to turn around a really awful team.

How long is Bill signed for???

 

[Birdman]

It was the cameraman!

lol

Also Rodney Harrison's HGH delivery guy... and the BB injury report every offseason, regular season...

seriously though, there was some cheating going on.

How long is Bill signed for???

I'm not sure of the exact number - but he signed what I'd like to wager was a 5 or 6 year extension last season. This was shortly after spygate broke.

First, this is a great hire for KC. I think Herm is gone, and look for R.Ryan to be targeted.

Second, so does this lock Heckert from Philly in the Cleveland job??

heckert already withdrew his name after they hired a coach. they will have to settle for another name now that they decided to do it backwards.
