I'd lean Crennel, but Pioli would have had to sign off on it. They're all going to have to work together and be on the same page in terms of player evaluation. If your OC tells you that your backup tackle has no burst and they like a guy on the practice squad better (IE Muir on Gaither) and you then cut the tackle only to watch him go to another team and play great, then you don't have people on the same page.
Based on the book War Room, Daboll ended his Patriots tenure on a bitter note, as he was pissed at Belichick for not promoting him. I thought the whole leaving to work with Mangini thing would basically not sit well with Pioli, but I guess they worked that out.
He's also not afraid to stand up for his own opinion, as one of the stories in the book mentioned that he fought against Belichick's desire to draft Chad Jackson out of Florida, thinking the guy was no good...
