If I am Clark Hunt, then I make damn sure that Pioli understands that he's done a crappy job of building a foundation for a front office, and that this next head coaching choice will likely be his last if it isn't correct. I also take more of a role in making sure the guy is the right fit for the organization you are trying to build.
To me, this sounds like things were allowed to spiral out of control in the organization. Pioli, again, after reading through War Room, I think he is a good talent evaluator, and he was real good at understanding what Belichick wanted and going out and finding those types of guys that the coach wanted. But I get the feeling that the guy is more comfortable scouting players and dealing with scouts than he is building an organization.
So I'll chalk this up to a rookie GM and a rookie owner not understanding right off the bat all the intricacies of building a winning organization. But they better not be making the same mistakes over again.
This is almost if not more bizzare than the whole thing in San Diego between Marty and Smith, except that one was public. Let's hope we do better than Norv...
