Chiefs Next GM Short-List: Who's your pick and why?

ziggysocki · 10-29-2012, 02:55 PM

There is lots of talk about Pioli getting the boot, but I haven't seen much about possible replacements. Who is available? Who would have a chance at success (not mediocrity) Who makes your short list of candidates?

I am not any kind of expert on NFL execs, but I want one how understands that modern NFL franchises need to build around a franchise quarterback.

I just want my Chiefs back... I miss caring about the game on Sunday.

What say you?

There have been a billion threads on this all year. They all wind up turning into a pissing match about Bill Cowher.

Glad I could help.

I want Marc Ross. He's the Giants director of college scouting and has been overseeing their draft for 5 years.

Really young, and apart of an incredible organization. The Giants don't typically spend in free agency. He's the one who found Victor Cruz, drafted Nicks, Kenny Phillips.

I think he would also be a guy that wouldn't have any ties or any other bullshit where he picked from a shallow pool of candidates.

Guess I forgot the obligatory "Sorry if repost" I have not spent much time on the planet and I apparently did not search long enough to find a good thread with people's opinions.

Lake Dawson , he is smart, he is young and he was a Chief.

Oliver Luck, no reasoning. Just something new and he has a decent résumé

Intriguing choice. Giants have been solid for a while now.

I'm too scared to discuss replacements now. I kind of think Hunt is either too stupid or too intimidated to fire him anytime soon.

I think the 'purge of the pioli scourge' is inevitable, but I was curious if the delay is due to a lack of potential replacements that would be considered a step up. (of course at this point a dead goat would be a step up imo)

ChiefsCountry · 10-29-2012, 03:08 PM

My list is two names:

Russ Ball, Packers
Marc Ross, Giants

Get one of those two and I will be happy.

The obvious answer is Eric DeCosta (Who I wanted over Pioli back in '09) but that's obviously a shit in one hand, wish in the other scenario.
