Wonder how many of Parcells qualifications Barkley meets?

All of them, since he's a 4-year starter, basically.

Clark wants consistency (ROFL how many coordinators and head coaches under Pioli?). No way he axes Pioli. Clark doesn't want the next GM (several years down the road) to feel as though the front office is little more than a game of musical chairs.

I think it happens after the season. What's the point now

Please - as if this is a question.

He'll take the 'safe', wholesome kid from a major program. There's no question he'll take Barkley because Barkley can step in next year and play. He's the most limited QB available, but he also probably has the least work to do to get to at NFL ready.

Geno will be better than Barkley by the end of 2013, but he'll still be considered too risky for Pioli.

Anyone can see Pioli is one of the biggest failures of a GM in NFL history.

No sense in keeping him. A competent GM isn't gonna care that we fired Pioli after the 4 worst years in franchise history.

I said Landry because Scott would see a QB would available later down the pipe, trade down in the Patriot Way to get more picks and pick the worst of the lot.

Musical chairs?

The last one was there 20 yrs.

Could be a reason for him to get rid of Pioli... He wants consistency, but because Pioli is such a dumbass and in love with ex-Patriot washouts he'll never get it. So maybe he'll fire him to hire someone who will get it.

I can't see how anyone in their right mind would retain Pioli. If this was his 1st year he would get a pass. This is his 4th and we are worse than the day he got here. Not something that would get you kudos in any other walk of life.

If we draft Geno, can we say Genoious! to everything he does?

If so, I hope it's him.

Who will Pioli draft? A defensive tackle. So the common fan wont be able to know if his draft pick failed. As usual

Kind of what I thought. That is our boy. Pioli will follow this.

this is Pioli's forth season. He will get fired because he had plenty of time and did turn the team around, but then made some moves that forced it into a tailspin. Clark will be limited in who comes, yes, but it wont be because of fear of "musical chairs" it will be a very well founded fear of getting talent to come and help this bottom feeder of a team -- which is Clark's fault.

They tried to tank last season but Palko's tenacity kept this team in it. This year we are all in on operation rebuild through the draft.

It's cheaper thanks to the wage scale and fans allow some fail if a new QB comes in.

I gotta think the Clarks are on board, the question is will Pioli have to walk the plank before April so we get someone else in here to help rebuild
