The Kansas City Chiefs have hired Patriots Vice President of Player Personnel Scott Pioli as their new General Manager.

“We are very excited to welcome Scott to the Chiefs,” Chiefs’ chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. “With his proven track record of success, Scott is the finest player personnel executive in the NFL, and we look forward to his leadership in building a championship organization.”

Out of all the assistants and players Belichick has lost throughout the years, this could be the one that hurts the worst.

“Scott is a great evaluator of talent,” Patriots owner Robert Kraft said. “He is thorough in his evaluations, extremely organized and has done a tremendous job mining all possible resources to help coach Belichick and his staff field the players needed to win consistently. He has played an important role in building a championship tradition with players that I am proud to call Patriots.”

Pioli will likely want to hire his own coach meaning Herm Edwards will soon be fired but we’ll have more information on that if it actually happens.
