Plus, it wouldn't do Pioli any good to just immediately axe the owner's choice for HC - there is some professional courtesy involved here.
At this point, I wouldn't read too much into his comments about Herm...

Yeah, like others, I got the feeling that Herm is gone, but regardless of what Pioli is actually thinking right now -- keep him, fire him, gonna talk about it -- he wasn't going to say anything that would give it away. He's obviously showing Clark and Herm some respect... it's not like he's going to fly into KC and start firing people like he's been a GM for 30 years.
Based on what I've read about Pioli though, I agree with Laz... Pioli is humble, doesn't care about titles, etc; while Herm is pretty damn arrogant for a guy who's won two football games since 10/22/07. After 'careful consideration' and 'talking with many people' and 'losing sleep over the decision', Pioli needs to throw Herm under the bus and never look back.
