PIOLI HIRED BY CHIEFS
Posted by Aaron Wilson on January 13, 2009, 3:53 p.m.

New England Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli has been hired as the Kansas City Chiefs’ new General Manager to replace Carl Peterson, according to reports from ESPN’s Michael Smith and NFL Network’s Adam Schefter.

Smith reports that Pioli’s arrival will definitely spell the departure of Chiefs coach Herm Edwards and could lead to New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo as Edwards’ replacement.

The National Football Post has also reported that Pioli has accepted Chiefs owner Clark Hunt’s offer.

Smith also reported for ESPN that Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio will take Pioli’s old job in New England.

[Editor’s note: Caserio has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the Browns’ G.M. vacancy. Technically, Caserio can still take the job in Cleveland, if he gets final say over the roster.]

If they get Piloli and Spagnuolo, that'd be a great move after their great draft last year.

Pioli is the best thing for them. Sagnuolo still has to be proven as a HC. Seems to be a great DC but who knows how he will be as a HC.

Whatever they do, they had to do something. That team has more talent on it than it's record indicates from the last couple of seasons.

maybe some of those guys will work out, but most of their draft picks didnt look so good

and Spagnuolo is hardly a sure thing

No one is a sure thing, but what they've been doing isn't working. It's time to try something else.

No one on that team looked all that great last year.

I'd rather have an up and comer than the sure thing in Wade.

I wasn't expecting much from Dorsey this year. I think he has a year buffer after what happened to him in that Auburn game. I'm expecting them to get either the OLB from Wake or OL from Virginia.
