This.

"In charge" is a bit of a stretch from that transcript. He was basically asked if he felt that Pioli could be a part of the solution and Hunt said he hadn't ruled it out. But that it is all contingent on whichever head coach he hires.

Clark is likely doing due diligence here. He's probably got a short list of coaches he wants, and he's probably got a second short list of coaches Pioli gave him. He may end up interviewing both sets, and he'll probably go with whoever he himself has the most comfort with in a leadership capacity, rather than just some handpicked puppet that Pioli may want. I highly doubt Clark was very involved in the last two hires, especially when he said what impressed him about Romeo was that Romeo told him that he wants "to win a Super Bowl." That screams of him allowing Pioli to run the entire process last time.

My prediction: all the big names will turn us down (they also would have turned us down IMO had Pioli been fired, I just get a sense that the big names want to go to big cities or good weather cities or cities with a star QB), and we go down the Haley route and try our hand again at an ascending assistant coach, and Pioli sticks around.

I also think we are fooling ourselves if we don't think finances will come into play here, despite what Clark says. You're paying Pioli big bucks, you're still on the hook for two years of Romeo, you're on the hook for his assistants, and you're still in litigation as far as I know over whether you owe Haley the rest of his dough. I don't see a big name coach coming through that door...

If you were planning to fire someone would you bring them along to interview their potential replacement?

If he wants to keep his job and get paid, yep.

Or he could commit career suicide like you idiots are suggesting.

Or he could quit and forfeit the cash to move onto a different opportunity thats going to be no more than what he would get in KC for substantially less pay.

Okay.

Still got an obsession with me I see. That's fine, I'm sexy, smart, and funny.

I don't do cuckold thing though. You'll have to find somebody else to **** your girlfriend/wife.

Then it all comes back to keeping him on because all he cares about is money?

Time to find a new team then...

Exactly. It's just so TWISTED - STUPID.

Pioli was doing both though. Look at the guys even he couldn't screw up on evaluations. Charles comes to mind. We got a great deal on him.

Reid is interviewing for GM?

How did it work in New England? Didn't Belichick pretty much pick the players and Pioli handled contracts?

Scott: "So Andy, how's the wife and kid?"

I respect what Petro has to say 90 percent of the time.

I respect what KK has to say about 2 percent of the time.
