By making the coach equal to the GM and reporting to the owner this attracts better coaching talent. Brings stability to the organization. And most of all give the coach equal say as to what the team needs in the way of talent. For example, if Haley, as reported, did not like Cassel he could say to Pioli get me a new QB and it now becomes Pioli's job to get a new QB. Before Pioli just says its not the QB's fault it is yours and fires the HC. Coach now has more power and respect, which is healthy for the whole organization. |

Not only that, but Clark has stated that preparations for the "search" have been underway for some time. I'm impressed with our young, studly, well groomed owner. I say, give him more than 24 hours to find who he considers to be the right guy, for crying out loud. FAX |

I can think of one good reason. If the HC is in place first he gets involved in the process with the Hunt in selecting the new GM. In the mean time Pioli can keep things operating during the gap allowing Hunt to stay focused on the HC search.
What Hunt has done is fundamentally alter the culture of Arrowhead. Brilliant first move, Mr. Hunt. |

In other words, he's proven that he can not screw up an anvil ... which, when I think about it, is a little surprising in and of itself. FAX |

I tend to agree with Deez. Clark seems like a very calculating and conservative businessman. I'm thinking he's got his man and now it's a matter of contractual bs and deciding what to do with Pioli. If not, we're in deep shit because that would indicate Clark is clueless.

Do you trust Clark to know what a head coach is supposed to be?

So using some good old fashioned common sense, Clark has pretty much put his eggs in the Bill Cowher, Brian Billick or Jon Gruden basket, yes? |

How do you know? I don't think Pioli will be retained. However, there are multiple financial reasons Pioli is temporarily holding the position. I can all but guarantee Hunts lawyers are looking over Pioli's contract right now looking for an out clause.
