There's also no reason to fire him if it doesn't inhibit you from getting your guy. Clark has reportedly already been interviewing and meeting with candidates, so it appears that the presence of Pioli has no effect whatsoever on the process of hiring the next guy.

After week 10 or so, there was nothing to gain from doing it in-season.

We've tried letting GM hire the coach. It hasn't worked. We need a different arrangement, more like Marty had with Carl where they were peers. Giving complete control to one guy does not work.
