Chiefs Clark Hunt Statement - Page 116

ShowtimeSBMVP · 10:00 AM

"I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for Romeo, both personally and professionally," Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said. "He is an accomplished coach, a man of great character and he helped guide our football team through some extremely challenging circumstances this season.

"However, I am embarrassed by the poor product we gave our fans this season, and I believe we have no choice but to move the franchise in a different direction. I will immediately begin the search for the next head coach of the Chiefs. The entire football operation will remain under review, and there may be additional changes to come. No final determination has been made at this point on the future of General Manager Scott Pioli.

"Finally, I want to personally apologize to our fans for our performance this season. We are blessed to play for some of the best and most passionate fans in the National Football League and they deserve better than what we gave them this season. I want our fans to know that I will do everything I can to provide them with a dramatically better team - both next season and in the seasons to come - and our entire organization appreciates their support."

Or I can hold your career hostage, bitch.

I wish someone would hold my career hostage for a few million.

Probably because if it's Andy Reid, he's going to call the shots.

It will not be any of these people.

A valedictorian SMU grad isn't smart enough to know that his GM is a flaming asshole who is horrible for business until this weekend, but yet the entire fan base knew about this almost a year prior?

And now he's not conducting business accordingly because he's keeping that flaming asshole in the organization instead of just taking his lumps and moving forward like every other GM.

Maybe that report about Clark not being so sharp has some substance to it after all

He's under contact thru 2016.

That means nothing. Hell, the ink on these contracts aren't even dry before they leave. What's his buyout?
