Pioli's ill-fated decision to trade for Cassel devastated this entire franchise. Pioli's refusal to acquire at the minimum a competent backup for Cassel just flushed 2011 and now 2012 down the drain.
It's pretty obvious what happened: Pioli can't force Cassel on Crennel anymore. It's hard to see how Pioli isn't fired after the season -- this move suggests he's already been neutered by Clark.
