Can somebody explain the Pioli contract numbers?
 

Is it cheaper for Clark to fire Pioli this year? I'm confused because he reportedly wanted a buyout plan in the rumored extension?
If so how much would Clark save?

And wouldn't Clark be paying for Pioli, Romeo, Haley, a new GM and a new HC all next year?

Thanks

**** if i know

Who gives a **** bro

Nobody knows.

He gets paid a crapload of money. And his mom's a whore.

Geez all the threads you start are ****ing annoying.

Would you happen to have her number?

Haley took another job so they don't pay shit for him.

They are who we thought they were.

If they fire Scott they would owe him for the rest of this year and next. Around 7.5M
If they fire Romeo after the season they would owe him for the remaining 2 years or 8M if he doesn't find work elsewhere.

The buy out language would only be if Scott is extended. So say he gets 2 more years, but Clark could buy him out of it for X dollars instead of what's remaining on the contract.

You're right let's start another Pioli sucks, Cassel sucks or Romeo sucks thread. God knows we don't see 10 of them on here a ****ing day.

Regardless.

Quit starting stupid ****ing threads.

Unless they are fired for cause.

Haley was fired for cause and they paid him nothing.

I don't believe that for a second. I think if they really jacked him and gave him nothing, he would've put this whole organization on blast as he was walking out the door. I think the fact he didn't say a word, even during his little stint on ESPN is a clear cut sign he was bought out.

We should keep this thread bumped until some others with more inside information than I have arrive this morning.

But from what I've heard, he was fired "with cause" and his contract was voided. If he got any money, it was completely under the table and therefore hush money.

I believe that. And I think I heard the same as you did. I'm assuming the money was hush money actually. Yeah, you're right. There was a report he was fired with cause. If he didn't get any money, and kept his mouth shut, he's a bitch AFAIC. I have no doubt he was absolutely ABUSED by Scott Pioli.

He didn't exactly keep his mouth shut (see also "Arrowhead Anxiety") but I think a big part of the quiet after him being fired had to do with him trying to get another job.

The NFL is a good old boys club - he would have had a hard time getting employed by anyone had he started popping off to the media.

That's a good point. I'm sure he did plenty of talking, just not publicly. He certainly wouldn't have been hired by The Steelers if he'd gone around running his mouth. I'd love to spend a half hour with that guy "off the record".

why does this matter?

Pioli has a "lifetime" contract. Scary.

Hard to say... depends what the language in his contract says. Also, there is alot of speculation that he might have a new contract.

One thing is for sure. If he gets fired, it will be because of the fans. I believe he has a new contract and Clark doesn't want to fire him partly because of it.
