Chins up, Chief Fans…it will get better.

Gee, thanks for the crumb of hope. KC had to endure 17 years of John Elway and now comes Peyton Manning.

Sorry, but Denver fans have no idea…

How much longer before it becomes clear he’s a total disaster as a GM?

Just cut the cord, Clark! After 4 years of trying to get it right, Pioli is clearly spinning his wheels, right back to another 2-14 season. Keeping him on staff limits your coaching (and player) choices, which is probably why Peyton wouldn’t even consider KC. He has screwed up coaching hires, contract extensions (or lack thereof), draft picks, free agent choices, and relations with the paying customers. I’m not sure what is left to evaluate. KC will try the “paralysis by analysis” approach until all of the good GM and coaching candidates are taken and then take some long shot that has a 10% chance of panning out. History favors the bold, Clark! Recognize the problem and make the change.

Andy doesn’t have New England on his resume. Never mind that he can actually, you know, coach.

He’s got to be glad he wasn’t dumb enough to trade for Tebow. That’s a sure way to get fired.

I think Scott Pioli just needs a good coach. Andy Reid would be a great fit IMO.

They had stockpiled draft picks for years, and Eric Berry looks like the only one who has really paid off in the last couple years.

I’d be pretty surprised if Pioli isn’t eventually fired.

Maybe improve to 3 wins next year, continue to lower attendance, get another HC, and be the 20teens version of the Lions. We’ve already tried the Browns route, it’s time to switch to the NFC version of suck.

Seems a weird order for the owner to go, doesn’t the GM decide the coach? I would think you’d can the GM and let the next decide about the coach or whack them both. I would have preferred to let the next GM/coach try and keep Crennel around as DC if he’d go for it but with the Belcher deal he probably wouldn’t.

Either way. BILL COWHER NOW!!!!!!!!!

Hunt covets the Steelers way of doing business and Cowher could/would set that tone. Marty as GM, Cowher as HC, Crennel as DC and Norv Turner as OC

Arrowhead stadium once was one of the best venues in all of professional sports. Ask anyone, visitor and fan alike what the Arrowhead stadium experience was like during the previous 25 years. The community loved the Chiefs and the Chiefs loved the KC community. The fans are what has made the KC Chiefs great, even during loosing seasons. There has always been hope and excitement surrounding the Chiefs until now.

Scott Pioli has single handedly destroyed the Kansas City Chiefs. Pioli has alienated the community, the fans, the employees, the staff, and the players. The only way to return Arrowhead stadium to its former glory is to fire Scott Pioli immediately!

Why would Clark begin the search for a new coach if Pioli was staying?

Clark really threw Pioli under the bus in that statement.

If Hunt is hiring the coach, this is a dog and pony show. Hunt hires a Gruden or Cowher who wants final control over the roster, there’s no place for Pioli.

Hunts first priority is profits and then his team. If pioli stays he will bring in a coach that he can control. I got my fingers crossed he gets fired. Awhile back there was a rumor that he signed a contract extension, but then those rumors were suppose to be false. If he stays then unfortunately the rumor was true.

If they keep Pioli I am going to cancel my season tickets and will not attend a single game until Clark Hunt proves to me that he wants a winning football team and not a profit from his inheritance.

Clark, your father was one of the greatest owners in AFL and NFL history. His passion for the sport cannot be argued. I please urge you to find this same passion for our chiefs and make the right decision.

The majority of the quality players we have were drafted by the King. He has whiffed on Tyson Jackson, Jon Bladwin (who?) and made the ultimate mistake of chaining himself to Cassel when it was clear Cassel wasn’t the answer. Your fan base is tired of rebuilding, wasn’t that the plan 4 years ago when you hired Pioli? Enough’s enough. Where’s the Tylenol?
