How is it too late? The Super Bowl hasn't even been played.
What we know about Pioli is that he is meticulous, and apparently so is Hunt. This is how things are going to move when a team is no longer lead by 'the decider', Carl Peterson. Pioli uses his brain, not his gut, to hire people. Hell, we may all be wrong, and he may not even use his 'friends' as coache either. He could surprise us all and hire an unexpected guy that has no 'coaching-tree' ties to him or any one he has worked with.
There is no huge hurry to rush this thing right now. Hell, Clark said he expeted the GM hunt to run until the Super Bowl orignially. I have a feeling that Clark might have been under the assumption that Pioli was not going to actually sign with us, which would have drawn out the GM hunt until now or a little longer at least.
In the end, I hate waiting around, but I am enjoying the change of pace and style from what we knew before, which was absolute mind molesting shit. Hopefully, no more DV's and HE's will come racing in here teary eyed or sputtering nonsensical words to save the day!
It seems that Pioli is the type of guy that already has a possible O-scheme deided upon, and maybe a D-scheme as well. So, perhaps his coaches will be puppet type coaches similar to down in Miami. I am probably giving Pioli too much credit by assuming that, but we are all just going to have to wait and see...
Oh yeah, the senior bowl is important, but if you read what Pioli has to say about scouting kids, it isn't about the senior bowl, and it really isn't about the combine, it's about the entire time they played in college, so I highly doubt he puts a ton of stock in the senior bowl. That is good, it means he is not going to take a flier on some late 'bloomer', who suddenly makes a name for themselves in 1 game and some work out shorts. It means we wil draft kids that have had sound, solid football careers in college! Lets all sit back and enjoy the show... yes the show currently resembles a pre-talkie picture, but who cares, CP is gone!!
