Maybe he does believe in all this bullshit Pioli is selling, because he's done nothing to make me believe he's embarrassed by bad PR of the last year.
The Patriot Way is the Patriot's Way.
Tom Dimitroff has put together a pretty good team down in Atlanta, and he's done it HIS way. He created a new identity for the organization. Sure, you can make the argument that they haven't won anything, but they've also been unfortunate to get matched up with the NFC SB representative in their first playoff game the past two seasons.
We need someone that will create a unique identity for this franchise, instead of just trying to copy another team's without the two most important pieces of the puzzle - a HOF QB and HOF HC.
The Patriot Way is nothing without Brady and Belichick.

Sadly, I'm beginning to sense that you're really wrong on point #1. We heard that Clark demands that this organization be run like his days at Goldman Sachs, so some of the crazy might have a lot to do with Hunt. Another thing I read in Gretz's piece the other day bothered me. The claim was that Haley got frustrated because every single minute decision had to include "Dallas." You know what that means? That sure sounds to me like Hunt is micro-managing Pioli's micromanagement. Double micromanaging.
On this one, though, you're right. This one really reeks of Pioli.
Step 1: Are you from the Parcells tree?
Step 2: Are you still available to coordinate an offense?
Step 3: I forgot... did you say you were from the tree? Just double checking
