He (and his dad) have always spent in the front office. Pioli was the highest-paid GM in the league at one point. And Dick Vermeil had the largest coaching staff in the league at one point, too.
Again, that's more manageable. You have much more control over how much money you pay (and lose) with a coach because none of their contract is guaranteed. They don't get signing bonuses.
