I guess one thing that makes me happy about hiring Andy Reid is that it almost seems that giving the GM power to the head coach was the only way that Clark Hunt was willing to get rid of that POS Pioli.
If Clark had hired a brand new head coach, he would have had to fire Pioli and hire a brand new GM too. We all know that it's EXACTLY what he should have done, but based upon the way Clark approached the whole thing this week, my fear is that Pioli might have survived if Clark hadn't hired a head coach who could make this decision for him.
Maybe I'm not being fair to Clark Hunt. Maybe if he had hired Chip Kelly or Mike McCoy or Jay Gruden, he would have then fired Pioli and then started looking for a new GM. But letting Reid do the work of finding his own GM certainly made the process easier for Clark and quicker for everyone.
Just think what a fiasco it would have been if Chip Kelly and Scott Pioli were peers next season. Their conflict could have been a replay of the Pioli/Haley conflicts.
