That's a big assumption. Sometimes people learn from their mistakes. And even if Bill hasn't, if Clark is hiring Polian, his track record hiring GMs will be:

1. Scott Pioli (Consensus great decision at the time that ended as a massive failure, but action was taken in a timely manner.)
2. Bill Polian

He's not establishing a pattern of making hap-hazard decisions, so to me given Chris Polian's background it's hard to imagine him going that route.

Yeah. Doesn't mean he's an idiot. Could be that it created uncomfortable roles in his personal life that he doesn't want to re-live.

Of course, he may still think hiring his son and trying to prop him up in that role was a great decision, in which case I think it's a good thing that he isn't the one who gets to hire his successor. Clark is.

I doubt it. I assume he wants his son to be an effective GM and will do whatever he can to help him reach that goal.

I don't want Chris Polian involved in any kind of scouting or football decisions. I don't think that is possible if Bill is hired.
