FLOWERY BRANCH http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/darius-slayton-jersey , Ga. (AP) — Scott Pioli stepped down Thursday after more than five years as assistant general manager of the Atlanta Falcons, the latest front-office change for a team coming off a disappointing season.“I am ready for a change,” he said in a statement released by the team.Pioli said he had intended to spend only two or three years working under Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff. He thanked the team for giving him a chance to carry on his career after he was fired as Kansas City’s general manager following a dismal 2-14 season in 2012.“I came in to work closely with Thomas on personnel structure, processes and decisions Quinnen Williams Jersey ,” Pioli said. “I loved the concept, was confident I could provide value and have enjoyed the challenge.”Now, he’s ready “to pursue other potential opportunities.” His departure comes one day after Mike Maccagnan was fired as general manager of the New York Jets, a team that Pioli worked for as director of pro personnel from 1997-2000.Dimitroff described the 54-year-old Pioli as a “dear friend” who has “not only provided tremendous value to me http://www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com/jachai-polite-jersey , but to the entire the Falcons organization.”Pioli departs the Falcons following a 7-9 season and shake-up in the front office.Longtime scout Shepley Heard has taken over as director of pro personnel from Joel Collier, who is now serving as a national scout. Collier spent the last three years as Atlanta’s director of pro personnel. Before that, he worked under Pioli in Kansas City as the assistant GM.Dimitroff indicated that more changes are coming for a team that made the Super Bowl during the 2016 season.“We are continuing to assess the structure within our organization and move forward with our next steps,” he said.Pioli was Kansas City’s GM from 2009-12. Prior to that Chuma Edoga Jersey , he worked for nearly a decade with Bill Belichick in New England’s personnel department.The Chiefs won the AFC West title in 2010 — their only playoff appearance during Pioli’s tenure — but his regime was marred by allegations that he maintained a toxic work environment based on secrecy and intimidation, including suspicions expressed by coach Todd Haley that his personal cellphone had been tampered with before he was fired.Late in the 2012 season, Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher killed his girlfriend before taking his own life at the team’s training facility in front of Pioli and other team officials. The Chicago Bears interviewed the offensive coordinators in Minnesota and New England for their coaching job on Friday.
The Bears met with Pat Shurmur in Minnesota in the morning before meeting Josh McDaniels in New England. Chicago is looking to replace the fired John Fox, and both candidates have head coaching experience as well as reputations for developing quarterbacks. The Bears are looking to get the most out of Mitchell Trubisky http://www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com/trevon-wesco-jersey , the No. 2 overall pick in the draft last spring.
Shurmur was 9-23 as the Cleveland Browns’ coach from 2011-12. He returned for a second stint as Philadelphia’s offensive coordinator from 2013-15. He joined the Vikings as tight ends coach in 2016. He served as interim offensive coordinator for the final nine games that year following the resignation of Norv Turner and took over the job in 2017.
McDaniels lasted less than two seasons as the Denver Broncos’ coach after he was hired in 2009. But as a top assistant in one of the most successful regimes in NFL history and with a long history of working with one of the greatest quarterbacks in Tom Brady, he is one of the top candidates on the market.
Chicago interviewed Vikings defensive coordinator George Edwards in Minnesota on Thursday and Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio at their headquarters on Wednesday.
The Bears fired Fox after a 14-34 record in three years and a .292 winning percentage that ranks as the second-lowest in franchise history. The Bears were 5-11 this season.
