A good coaching staff and a QB isn't enough, but I can guarantee you a LOT of our players are going to look not just a little better, but a lot better.

I'd only agree in principle because the parity is tight in the NFL. The problem is if Pioli is fired, what are the odds the coach they bring in wants to continue "business as usual" on defense? He may blow it up. Miller and Dumervil probably would be performing better in a 3-4, but Fox and Del Rio like 4-3 and they're making it work. I suppose if they really felt the 3-4 is superior, the way Tomlin is a 4-3 guy but made conessions for LeBeau, then I could see that. But he walked into the best defense in football. Currently the Chiefs are ranked 17th in yardage and 28th in points. There isn't a whole lot of incentive to "keep on keeping on" when you are performing badly - bad QB play or no.
