Yeah ... I have to say that, in spite of the hyperbole we hear all the time, there's no clear evidence that Clark is a "tightwad". For all we know, he has been true to his word that he gave Pioli the freedom to spend money as he sees fit.
And, Mr. Phobia is right. Clark certainly didn't skimp on Pioli's salary.
I remain convinced that Clark wants to win. I think that's why he hired Pioli in the first place (unaware, of course, of Dr. Evil's alter-ego) and why he was willing to listen to Dr. Evil's advice to sign Cassel long-term and pay out the nose for Tyson Jackson. I'm further convinced that Carr left because Carr wanted out (and he's a Herm draft pick which means Pioli is less motivated to keep him), not because Clark was unwilling to part with the moolah-ha.
At this point, I think the scrooge label is unfair. Or, at a minimum, premature.
