Pioli talks about Bill Belichick & "The Patriot Way"
 
Quality guy, no question about it.

Soundbites from Scott Pioli - Reiss' Pieces - Boston.com

Quote:
Pioli was asked about the “Patriots Way” and if he can bring some of that to Kansas City. He was asked to describe the “Patriots Way.” “It’s about a group of people who work passionately together and work very hard,” he said. “The only promise that I’ll make today to the Kansas City Chiefs and to the Kansas City Chiefs’ fans is that there will be no one in this league working harder than me to get this done. The ‘Patriots Way’ starts with hard work, discipline, and creating a culture where everyone is on the same page, everyone knows their role, everyone believes in the system, and everyone does their job. People understand their roles and they are selfless about their roles. That is the core of the ‘Patriots Way’.”

On how decisions were made in New England, Pioli said: “Bill had the final say in everything. However, it was a collaboration. I’m not sure I can think of many players that ever came into the program that Bill and I didn’t completely agree on. The amount of respect that he and I had for one another, if there was a disagreement, the respect for the other person led us away from that player. It was a true collaboration. It was one of the very unique experiences that I’ve had – where Bill and I would agree on certain things, but when we’d disagree, we didn’t have any issues. It was never a battle over ego with Bill and I. We were more honed in on coming up with the right answer, rather than his answer or my answer. It was more about the right answer. It was a true collaboration.”
There's a bit more about KC in the link above.

My uncle in KC called me after he listened to the press conference nearly orgasmic. I quickly reminded him that he's only got a branch, he doesn't have the whole Belichick tree. :)

He's a Chief now. I watched the press conference; I heard blah, blah, blah, blah, blah from one of the "other 31" with a few Patriot references in there.

If only Scott had some doubt about Chad or Bethel ... :confused2: ... just saying,the hindsight thing ... hopefully Caserio can emulate Pioli.

I think Caserio will do fine, he knows the system, what is expected and what to look for..

There must have been more disagreements than agreements for him to leave otherwise why the big issue of who has final say in the decision making process? Can't imagine that money would have been an issue.

================================================== ==

Is it official that Caserio is the one taking over for Pioli?

I am sure this has been discussed, but am not sure where to look.

I'm led to believe from reporting that his wife has immediate family in the area. Why wouldn't an administrator leave to further his own career and assume almost complete control over the development of a football list? On to bright and new challenges theory.

He doesn't even get to pick the coach, he has to agree with the owner on that. If he's lucky they'll see eye to eye - this may not go as smoothly as he'd like. Obviously we'll see over time . . .

I see your point. However involved in any large organisation, the top administrators are always accountable to someone. In Pioli's case it will be Clark Hunt.

I'm giving rise to the fact that it's conceivable more of the final decisions will rest with Pioli as opposed to the executive rights of the righteous and annointed one in BB.

Alot depends on the financial position of the Chiefs and the nature of spending Pioli will embark upon.
