Because Clark will hire him and fire Pioli and bring Heckert with him. Clark knows he needs to save the fan base

If that's the case then why wasn't Pioli fired say, I don't know, 36 hours ago?

Because he's trying to force him to quit.

If that is the best we can do we are in trouble.

I haven't seen anything on Gruden or Cowher not wanting to coach next year.

There are 2 reasons that Pioli is still around.

1) Clark likes Pioli and still has faith in him.
2) Clark is trying to work around the contract to save money for when he fires him.

That is a real pussy move.

Clark is either an emo pussy who is holding out hope he can find a coach willing to work with his best brah scott.....or, some legal issue around money is holding up pioli's certain firing


we'll know soon

fwiw, petro was adamant this morning on his show that he has 'sources' saying Cowher is not going to coach this year...

Cowher hasnt coached in since 2006. Gruden has yet to line up an interview. Gruden will coach again, Cowher wont

I think they are working on a settlement or because of the 3-4 lawsuits that are currently on going might be an issue.

Shutting an egomaniac out of a coaching search is sure to get under his skin.

And listening to Clark talk leads me to believe he's lost faith in Pioli. He gave him a gag order.
