Let's see if he can step up and fix it.

What's interesting is that Clark Hunt wanted to model the team after the Steelers. A lot of Pioli/Hunt's first year moves reflect that. A head coach from the Whisenhunt tree. A defensive coordinator from the Whisenhunt tree. initially, an offensive coordinator from the Cowher tree. All 3 were connected to the Steelers tree, and only one loosely connected to the Parcells tree.
So this team started on the path to the Steelers. I don't think Hunt even realizes how far off Pioli's philosophy is from the philosophy Hunt originally envisioned for his team.Hopefully he does now.
