The timing will never be better. Otherwise you just start a carousel of coaches blaming GMs and GMs blaming coaches.
The only conceivable way Pioli stays is if the rumors are true about him being extended last off season.

To us, it is a no brainer. To Hunt, who knows. Pioli may sell him that they have a ton of talent on the team, and all they really need to do is to get the QB and get a new coaching staff in here with a fresh outlook on things. Also he may try to sell Hunt that they have done a poor job in free agency because the Pro Personnel guy hasn't been doing a great job of identifying talent and they need a new person in that position.
So at the end of the day, if Pioli is able to convince Hunt that the real changes that need to be made are on the personnel staff and on the coaching staff, and that the top offseason priority would be to find that franchise QB and also spend that cap money on key free agents, he might be able to convince Hunt to keep him around.
I highly doubt it happens, and fully expect a cleaning of the house, but at this point, who knows...
