It's too bad some of these rumors don't circulate more in Springfield. I guess it's time to begin building contacts within the Chiefs organization (yea... I'll get back to you on that one in a few years). Anywho... apparently the Chiefs continue to pursue New England Patriots VP Scott Pioli.
One thing this article points out makes sense. There doesn't seem to be any other obvious suitors for Pioli right now. The Cleveland Browns jumped out to an early lead... but have fallen back. The hire of Eric Mangini pretty much seals the deal that Pioli won't go there.
That leaves Kansas City. And, it's not like you're trying to polish a turd here. Trying to sell the Chiefs to Pioli can happen. Just as Jason Whitlock points out, the Kansas City franchise has a lot of good selling points.
The one drawback is that Pioli has made it known he's looking for complete control, similar to the power Carl Peterson yielded. However, Clark Hunt has made it very clear he wants to split the football decisions and the business decisions. As a Chiefs fan, this isn't a bad thing. You may see a better product on the field paired with a more enjoyable experience as a fan at the stadium. But, will Pioli buy in?
