The New Carl Peterson

The highly regarded Scott Pioli is the new man in charge for Kansas City Chiefs. He's certainly the rising star amongst NFL front office personnel (and he's Bill Parcels' son-in-law).

Pioli will be forced to make a decision about the Chief's QB and Head Coach, not to mention the record-setting bad defense. It'll be a challenge for sure. But most fans are confident because Pioli's name is NOT Carl Peterson.

That said, some have described Pioli as the next "King Carl" – controlling, propaganda-spewing, exclusive interview giving, hard-nosed negotiator. As far as I'm concerned, if it's the Carl Peterson of the 90's I'm okay with it. It's it's the year-sixteen of a five-year-plan Carl Peterson then I'll pass.

Overall, landing Pioli seems to be a huge coup for the Chiefs.
