The Kansas City Chiefs made Scott Pioli's hiring official about an hour ago -- before Pioli (pictured hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy) could change his mind -- in a news release.

Pioli joins the Chiefs after working as a personnel executive with the New England Patriots, a team that won three Super Bowls and went 16-0 in the 2007 regul
