A consultant is fine, but Marty is a coach of a bygone era best left bygone. The NFL is different today. The good news is that any consultant would tell Clark that there is no leadership. He would report the following:
1) The QB needs to be replaced.
2) No back up QBs appear to have any talent as a starter and should be released.
3) RAC is a nice old man who motivates players by being a nice old man from a bygone era when defenses were designed to stop the run. He is not HC material.
4) Brian Daboll has passion, but little talent. He has yet to figure out how to orchestrate an offense that ranks above 29th in the league. The Chiefs have offensive personnel that should rank much higher. We should find a better OC.
5) The "ACL 3" have underperformed this year. Berry is looking like an average safety, Moeki is playing like Jake O'Connell. JC is still playing well though not with the same speed he had pre-ACL injury. The current OC believes in running him often and between the tackles until he is broken like Larry Johnson.
6) Eric Winston is eating too much Oklahoma Joe's BBQ and needs to improve.
7) The defensive line is not the most important position in the NFL anymore. Tom Dimitrioff learned that you use your first round picks to select impact players (e.g. QB and WR)
8) Pioli should get a scolding that he should learn what every other Bellicheck Tree coach has proven ... they are nothing without Tom Brady. Most coaches going to the Hall of Fame get there because they had a HoF QB. The Patriot Way is: No name defense + an adequate offense + Tom Brady = Superbowl. Take away Tom Brady and you have a team like the chiefs.
I would not fire Pioli if he admitted his failings and accepted the recommendations of the consultant. He still has talent when it comes to drafting and cap control.
