"I keep hearing rumblings over there with Pioli, same stuff behind the scenes.
"Everyone tries to make it like Bill Belichick's the mastermind up there in New England. It's not. It's Pioli. It's Pioli who permeated the entire image of Belichick as this monster up there.
"And you know Belichick, he's way more laid back in that right than people think. It's Pioli who gets people to think, 'Oh man if you don't have this done quickly coach is going to go nuts. It's Pioli who's saying, 'Oh man if you don't have this done coach is going to go crazy."
"I had one personnel guy tell me, 'Scotty's driving me nuts' because he'd come in there and say, 'Where is this?'
"[The personnel guy would] say, 'Well I thought I didn't have to have it in until Tuesday.' And Scotty would say, 'Oh man Bill is going to go crazy.'
"That guy comes flying into the office that day and says, 'Oh, Bill I'm so sorry' and Bill's like, 'What are you talking about? I don't need it until Tuesday.'
"So, Pioli likes to do that.
"When he went out to Kansas City he immediately made it like he wanted to keep a secret from everybody there and he made a place that's very un-enjoyable to go to work."
You know what that makes him look like?
An incompetent asshole who is a ****ing shit stirrer at work.
And everyone has worked with at least one ****tard like that, and now, he's running your football team.

It sounds to me like a guy who forced his scouts to work like fiends to get the right information and to get the right guy. A far departure from the Lynn Stiles method, which was to half-ass the scouting process and make a lot of decisions based on recommendations from coaches in his buddy network like John Bunting.
Bill Belichick is not the guy out there scouting. He's not the one travelling across the country looking at players, relentlessly going over combines, workouts, evaluations, etc.... He's not the one managing the scouts. He's not the one who gets the whole personnel process wheels. Belichick may have final influence on some personnel decisions. But no personnel decision can be made unless you have a team of extremely good, well managed scouts.
And from the sound of it, Pioli has his scouts going to millions of games this year across conferences.
