[Messier]

Pioli has an ego, but he also knows he can't hire unproven again, McDaniels would be too much like Haley part II, and the fail factor is high. He's got to at least create a steady atmosphere with the next hire. Cowher would want to be GM as well as coach. Fisher makes a lot of sense, actually so does Crennel, but the public relation hit on hiring in house would hurt.
