New NFL Hirings

The Kansas City Chiefs have made a move in an effort to turn around their downward spiral, by hiring Scott Pioli. The former New England Patriots vice president of player personnel, will occupy the recently vacated General Managers position. While with the Patriots he teamed with Bill Belichick to build a team that annually competes for the Lombardi trophy. He has been involved in drafting multiple Pro Bowlers. With Kansas City he will have his work cut out for him, but as the credentials to turn it around, with just a few smart moves and a good draft, holding the third overall pick, it could be turned around very quickly, just look to Miami and Atlanta this season.

Former 49er's head coach Mike Nolan was hired on to Josh McDaniels staff, as the Denver Broncos new defensive coordinator. Before accepting his first head coaching job, with the 49er's, he served in the same post with the Ravens, Jets, Redskins and Giants. His first coaching job in the NFL was with the Broncos as a special teams and linebackers coach in 1987. Under Nolan the Broncos may switch from a 4-3 defense to a 3-4, although that isn't clear at this point. With Nolan added to the staff it gives the Broncos their fourth defensive coordinator in four years.

The Houston Texans have brought in Frank Bush to be their defensive coordinator, replacing the fired Richard Smith. Bush has been in league, in some facet, for 25 season and has been with the Texans for the past two seasons as a special defensive assistant.
