Pioli was obviously a coup when we got him. He had the rings and the awards and I think he was dating Gisele Bundchen. It was the right move by Clark.
It's not working out like we'd hoped, which means one of three things is true:
1. It was really Belichick.
2. It was really Brady.
3. The difference between success and failure is razor thin and even the best judges of talent can miss several shots in a row, which is enough to produce Millenesque results.
I'd like to think that it's #3, and that, like blackjack, he'll eventually get on a hot streak to even out the numbers. But the Cassel trade makes me wonder if it's really #1. And it's still hard to rule out #2 from a global perspective.
When we think about what Pioli did, it all seemed right. He hired a hot young offensive coordinator in Todd Haley, and he made the biggest investment (pick-wise) in a QB since Trent Green. He followed the rules of "it's all about the passer and the people who rush the passer" by getting a QB and d-linemen. It's just that none of them are working out.
