Bears were not stupid to fire Lovie. Consistently awful offenses and very few playoff appearances. Bears were about 4 yards a game from having the worst offense in the NFL during Lovie’s tenure (instead, Browns hold that distinction). Defenses were great at creating turnovers and scores – no question. But offense was simply not good enough.

Happy that you’re not breathlessly reporting the latest from this Adam Shefter character. Should be obvious by now that he’s a total tool of the agents.

Yeah, looking at how productive that has been for the Raiders and Cowboys in recent years, how can Clark pass that up?

That is good news for the rest of the AFC West.

Pioli to Jets, bet the house on it.

I do not believe the “new structure” will help the Chiefs in the long run. No G.M. will want to be in a situation where the head coach is not a direct report.

It’s certain that any GM you’d want to hire knows way more about football than Clark Hunt.

Clark Hunt, as a football man, is way closer to Jerry Jones than Ron Wolf.

He does his team no favors with this move.

I’d be surprised if the Bills can attract a quality coach. they’re essentially waiting for the owner to die, which puts anybody hired in a precarious position when the family sells the team because the new owner will probably fire everybody in the building.

I don’t think anybody should care about what Pioli wants after he’s done absolutely nothing since arriving in KC.

The only quality players on the roster are hold overs from the previous regime and making sure he doesn’t screw up another draft when you have the number one pick should be priority number one. When Karl Peterson is head and shoulders above you at picking players, you’re not that good.

The only reason Reid would keep him is if he can’t get Heckert on board with moving to KC and needs somebody to negotiate the contracts for him.

The Chiefs still have a team? Here in Kansas City? Yeah, they have uniforms and everything. It’s really great.

I guess the Chiefs haven’t learned from the Cowboys about the owner directly running operations (i.e. the coach reporting directly to the owner).

And the right coach is William Cowher. Marty Schottenhiemer as GM, Norv Turner as OC and Romeo Crennel brought back as DC

Clak Hunt better get rid of Pioli or everything else he has said this week is all BS. Why isn’t CLark interviewing Lovie Smith? He is the only coach available that ended the year with a winning record. The Bears were stupid to fire him.
