AEFalcon Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) With the working/friendship history between TD and Pioli if the Falcon's organization will try to find a spot for him or will he return back to the Pats orgainization.. I doubt it but wondering what fellow Falcon fans thought.http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/scott-pioli-kansas-city-chiefs-nfl-general-manager-part-ways-0104113 Edited January 4, 2013 by AEFalcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'm glad we got the one that worked out. TD has been a genius while Pioli has looked like a pretender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statick Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I was reading about it on the Chiefs board. They were happy with the firing. Their drink anti-freez Pioli thread is at 20 pages now.Now with the hiring of Andy Reid, they're estatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin' In DC Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Pioli will get a job somewhere else. I dont see him wanting to work for Dimitroff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiler11 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) He's actually put together a pretty good roster he just couldn't find that franchise qb. Edited January 4, 2013 by Smiler11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papachaz Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) He's actually put together a pretty good roster he just could find that franchise qb.I think he was blinded a bit by what Cassel was able to do in BB's system and behind Brady's line, then couldn't recover from it Edited January 4, 2013 by papachaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert_Falcon Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Mutual separation. Could have something to do with giving pretty much all power to Reid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiccolas Cage Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 If we lose Dave Caldwell I could see Pioli taking the position of player personnel. Apparently that position is not too far off. He'd be more like an assistant to Dimi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butudontseeme™ Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 This is only because Reid wanted absolute control over personnel. Pioli will land on his feet elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Krazy Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Mutual separation. Could have something to do with giving pretty much all power to Reid.Yep, that's what it was exactly- Reid demanded full control and KC said yes. Mistake, iyam. The examples of a HC also playing GM that have failed outnumber the successes for a reason- two jobs too difficult for one person. I'd much rather have a good working relationship between a GM and HC than a single person juggling both jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Reid made it clear if he took the job in KC he was bringing Tom Heckert with as GM, so this is no surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pzummo Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 If we lose Dave Caldwell I could see Pioli taking the position of player personnel. Apparently that position is not too far off. He'd be more like an assistant to Dimi.I was just about to post this. He was the Scouting Director for the Patriots before Dimitroff took that position. He will likely have to take a step back from being the GM. I doubt another team will hire him to be their GM after failing with the Chiefs (possible, but doubt it). I haven't seen any of the Patriots FO on the list of candidates for GM spots, so I think it's unlikely that he will go back to the Patriots. I would love to see him come in as the Scouting Director if Caldwell leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis York Morgan Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I like the Chiefs, so I follow them a decent bit...they're going to be tough next year. With Pioli fired, Reid on board, a solid defense, lots of offensive weapons, and high picks in the draft with a shot at Gene Smith working out...sleeper pick for AFC West or at least Wild Card, anyone?

No. Sleeper for Wild Card? Maybe. Denver with Peyton own that Division now. And depending on what San Diego does, they could be back in the mix as the 2nd best team in that Division. I do not see them being better than New England, Baltimore, Cincy, Houston, Denver, or Indy though. If Cincy loses Zimmer, they could sneak in there. I think Indy will get better because they have a core to build off of now (something they lacked last year). I think 7-9 or 8-8 is more plausible for KC in 2013.

Thiccolas Cage Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I would like for ATL to hire Pioli in charge of player personnel. I think that he and Dimi would do great together. Knowing how this crap will shake out, Blank will probably hire Gene Smith because he came from JVille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Piolo will be a GM again. I dont think he will need to take a demotion. He doesnt seem like the kind of guy who will voluntarily want to fall back in line either. He will go for another GM gig if there is one to be had.

1989Fan Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I don't think he will have much of a choice after his latest stint.but where has he really 'missed' other than Cassell?I guess Dorsey,but nobody saw him underachieving. He has been a good starter, but not living to the hype by any means. Had the coin flip gone the other way, he would have likely been a Falcon...TD also loved him.Crenell earned the job based on what he did in an interim role, so cant say i blame them for rewarding one of their own.Pioli inherited a 2 win (8 total wins i previous years combined) team that then followed with 4 wins, then 10 wins, then 7 wins (with QB injured) then this year was indeed a bomb. But the team was trending up with his personel. Like I said, it all comes down to Cassell being the mistake for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
