Pioli was hired to "get things right". He was not hired to screw around with bad decisions on HCs or make head-scratching, first-round draft picks.
In return for his enormous salary, free rein, and all the accoutrement associated with the position of GM, comes responsibility. And it isn't the type of responsibility you can switch on or off. Or, the kind you can selectively apply depending on the situation or the particular player or the particular deal.
He is ultimately responsible for every damn thing that happens in this organization ... from the candy wrappers in the stairwell to the end-of-season records.
So, yes. Carr's leaving rests on Pioli's shoulders to the extent that, he made no effort to retain him ... so far as we know. And, in the process, broke up a cornerback tandem which was, arguably, developing into one of the best in the league.

well Pioli has 1 get out of jail free card this offseason (franchise) tag for essentially 3 guys: Dorsey, Albert, Bowe
2 of them are guaranteed to walk. And really there is no excuse for that.
I know people dont care about Dorsey, but lets be honest. There is nothing behind Dorsey thats of any talent. And do you really want Dorsey to walk and opening the chance that Pioli might draft his REPLACEMENT IN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE DRAFT. Because this place will explode if we take another d-lineman in the first round. And that very well be the case.
But yea. Bowe, Albert, Dorsey > Baldwin, Stephenson, whoever the **** would play for Dorsey lets just say Poe.
There is a gigantic backwards step and talent drop off of "Pioli's picks (guys)" as replacements to Herms.
It's an awful theory to consider. And Pioli has done a terrible job at it in four years
