Here is a glimmer of hope in case Pioli was extended...

The thing that gets me is why in the hell would Clark even consider an extension with the way this season has started. That is just baffling that it could even be possible.

I find that statement that they don't discuss contracts laughable. They had no problem telling us he was signed to a 5 year contract when they got him. Now if it is still in discussions, I get it. But if they already signed him to an extension....

I can't believe Pioli has not addressed the media.
Gutless turd. I'm hoping the fact that he hasn't spoken publicly, coupled with the fact that Clark released that statement defending us, means he's on his way out.

Anybody even heard where Pioli has been recently? Clark prob told him to lay low until things settle down.

i guess i can kinda see it. If they are going to fire him, better to do it early and get a head start on looking for guys and setting guys in place to scout for the draft.
I just know what Pioli is doing now is not g3etting better, its getting worse. Despite better talent, we are somehow playing worse. Its just time to draft a qb, if it dont work, ****ing draft another one, if that dont work, draft another one. Shit will hit eventually |

There's no ****ing way. You don't extend a guy in year 4 of his 5 year deal AFTER the team starts 1-4.

I really don't see why it would depend on a win against Tampa Bay, but I don't agree with the thought that a GM shouldn't be fired before the end of the season.

It could also mean a better chance at getting a big name coach. A lot of them want a lot of say in the personnel decisions, which I don't think you give them GM power but you see if maybe you can find guys that would be a good fit and not Haley/Pioli part 2. Then there's evaluating assistant coaches and lower personnel. Plus there's some big player decisions (Bowe, Albert, Dorsey, and Tyson Jackson off the top of my head). And of course the draft. Having time to get things in place and properly evaluate everyone can mean the difference between going and getting the guy you want and just settling for the guy that is there when you pick. Since QB should be the focus, I think that's especially important this year. |
