2) Let Pioli completely clean house. He could have gone outside of RC and cleaned house but then you basically have to give Pioli another 3 years. You have to let the "new" HC have some time developing the team. If you are beginning to question the first 3 years of Pioli, giving him another 3 doesn't seem very wise.
3) Let Pioli continue to build the "new england model" that he originally came to KC with and let him promote RC who the players played hard for the last 3 games of the year. This option probably gives Pioli the shortest leash of all three because there is continuity with the staff and vision. IMO, it is easier to evaluate and get rid of SP in the shortest amount of time with this option.

I see what you are saying, but option three is repeating the same mistake again. It had been repeated before, now you are doing it again and expecting different results. Insanity.
He should have had him find another HC, and DC. RC shouldn't have been given the job, just for the fact that he gave them an ultimatum.
