Scott Pioli Will Be Annouced as Chiefs’ New GM Very Soon Is My Guess
As you can guess from the title of this post I think that within the next few days, or at least sometime this week, the Chiefs will announce Scott Pioli as the new General Manager for the Kansas City Chiefs.
With some of the candidates being told they are no longer being considered for the job, along with reports that talks have intensified, it has to only be a matter of time before this happens.
This bit of information (from the link above) is also encouraging:
Hunt, interim president Denny Thum, and Pioli have increased their dialogue and think they could form a strong partnership, which is crucial, because regardless of whom the Chiefs hire, that person will have to work closely with Thum.
As far as I’m concerned Scott Pioli is all but here, and I’m not the only one that feels this way: Patriots’ Pioli all but gone to KC
Once thought to be the Chiefs’ leading candidate, now there is no doubt: Pioli is their man, according to an NFL source. Perhaps more important, Pioli’s interest in the Chiefs and a potential new career challenge has grown. All that stands in the way is hashing out a contract agreement, or perhaps a late pitch from the Patriots (who lost offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels to the Broncos yesterday as head coach), or a last-minute change of heart from Pioli. All scenarios remained in play as of early last night, but as reported in yesterday’s Globe, the intensity of talks between Pioli and the Chiefs has increased within the last 24-48 hours. Word out of Kansas City continues to be that the possibility of the sides coming together is picking up momentum. The key has been the comfort level between Pioli, Hunt, and team president Denny Thum
So there it is Chiefs fans. What do you think? Are you excited?

Scott Pioli, with Bill Belichick, have made some excellent draft picks in the past. I’m kind of excited to see if Pioli can construct an NFL roster by himself.
he has a LOT of work to do with the Chiefs. I suggest he might want to start by collecting young defensive talent from the draft….and he has to trade/release Larry Johnson.
i think Larry johnson is indeed our franchise running back everyone will see when we start winning
Tell me what you're thinking...
