Do you really think the Chiefs will suck? Heck, even with Haley, they would have been a lot better.
#1) We will have to see if they do, in fact, suck next year.
#2) We will have to see WHY they suck.
See, I try to be objective. I know that is so hard for people on this board to understand. I look at Cassel and can see that he is what Pioli expected. A hard worker who can be good with the right coaching and talent around him. A steady player. A guy to build with... (not build around). A guy that can hold down the position respectably until the right "franchise QB" comes along. Surely not great, but not as awful as this board thinks. Palko should have at least given us SOME appreciation for the fact that Cassel is at least a viable QB option.
But, make no mistake.... if Pioli gets the next hire at HC wrong, he should be out.
I think the late start affected his ability to get the best coach the first time. In hindsight, he would have been better off leaving Herm in place for a year while he looked around to find the right guy.
If he hires McDaniels or Ferentz, this will be his last coaching hire if they are not successful. If he hires a guy like Gruden, Cowher or Fisher, then he will get another hire if they fail.
