Scott Pioli IS the new GM of the Kansas City Chiefs
Well, it has finally happened: Scott Pioli is the next GM of the Kansas City Chiefs. I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so.
from ESPN.com
New England Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli has agreed to become head of football operations for the Kansas City Chiefs, two NFL sources told ESPN’s Michael Smith.
Pioli was seen packing up his office Tuesday afternoon, a Patriots source said.
So, that means many things for the Chiefs including that Herm Edwards will most likely be sent packing very soon and that means KC will be looking for a new leader very soon.
The decision to hire Pioli likely means Herman Edwards will not be back as Chiefs head coach next season. Among the top candidates to succeed Edwards is New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
This gives me hope. The Chiefs went after and ’signed’ who most believe to be the best and biggest name GM on the market. If nothing else tells me that Clark Hunt is willing to do what it takes to field a winner in KC.
I wish you all the best of luck Scott Pioli. As long as you try your best to field the best team you can you will get a great amount of respect from what I believe to be the loyalest fans in the NFL.
GO CHIEFS!!

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?
