I had the distinct pleasure of photographing the Chiefs press conference this afternoon for a wire service I shoot for, US Presswire in which the Chairman of the Board Clark Hunt introduced our brand-spankin’ new General Manager for the Kansas City Chiefs!
Personally (and since this IS my blog, and all of these opinions are solely mine!), I think this was a good choice, and a good move for Mr. Hunt to make. Scott Pioli has done an awesome job with the New England Patriots, building that team up to the success they’ve had, and the hope is he can do something similar for the Chiefs. Can he do it? There’s a lot riding on that man’s shoulders, namely trying to bring the nearly win-less and mostly young Chiefs out of the NFL dungeon to something we can be proud to call our ‘home team’. Will he be successful? Will he have Mr. Hunt’s full support? Will he keep Herm Edwards, or do a complete house cleaning and bring in an entirely new staff? Only time will tell.
One thing’s for sure when it comes to the Chiefs – it can’t get much worse! (or can it? At least we’re not quite to the lowliness of Detroit – yet!)
Here’s a few shots from the press conference of our new Kansas City Chiefs general manager, and thanks for looking!
