The rumors out of New England (that seems to be where the most speculation about Pioli comes from) state the biggest obstacle with Pioli signing with KC is the fact that he wants total control of football operations as well as the business side. Clark Hunt has stated that he is splitting those duties between two individuals. Peterson had total control and it worked initially, but I think most people feel it eroded the talent on the football side of things, especially player evaluation. Clark wants a GM that is committed 100% to the football side, and is not distracted about advertising, selling, parking prices, etc. etc.
