Regarding Pioli, and one of the rare times he didn't trust his instincts:
Quote:
In the Jabari Holloway case (who Pioli pushed for) Pioli says he should have trusted his instincts. The TE from Notre Dame made him nervous as soon as he realized why he had been late for practice.
Chemistry class.
"By your Senior year, football had better be a priority if you're going to be a NFl player," he says. "And i don't care about chemistry labs. You know what? You can come back and get your grades. To me that explained that something larger was going on. That there weer other things in life clearly more important than football. He could have done it some other way where it didn't interfere with football. That bothered me.
