Well, if I'm an optimist, here's what I see wearing my tinfoil hat.
I thought Pioli in years 1 through 3 was arrogant as shit. When he fired Haley, that was the first time I thought he looked like he got taken down a peg. When Arrowhead Anxiety hit, I noticed a much stronger PR effort. There was a LOT of talk going into the draft from RAC and company about saying Cassel has to prove himself. A LOT of time spent undermining Haley. A lot of time "leaking" information out about coordinators and head coaches in their search. A lot of publicity, buzz, etc.... There was a slight moment when I thought... maybe this whole Arrowhead Anxiety piece took Pioli down a peg. Maybe they get that Cassel isn't fully the answer. And then... suddenly, Arrowhead Anxiety died down, and he became arrogant again. The message went from "Cassel has to prove himself" to "Cassel is the right guy. Period."
If there's any silver lining, I think Pioli is in a hole where he knows he can't just feed us bullshit propaganda about how great Cassel is. This is the first time I feel like he knows his job is in serious, serious jeopardy.
