Scott Pioli has been a GM for one offseason and 12 games. That's his experience in this position.

His role in New England was to identify talent that would fit BB's coaching style and the organization's philosophy, and bring that talent in.
To me, he can continue to do that here but as a GM, his real issue will be whether or not he can build an organization. That starts with the scouting/pro personnel department, and the coaches he hires. It's like how I evaluate any head coach: if you surround yourself with good people, you have a shot at being successful. If not, then good luck to you. I look at our coaching staff, and I look at the Lions coaching staff, and I can pretty much tell that neither Haley nor Schwartz were going to have great turnarounds this year. Same goes for Pioli, he will only be as good as the personnel department he puts together and the head coach he hires. If he fails in those aspects, he fails as a GM...
