Perhaps. Or perhaps he is cold and calculating, sees Scott as a tool that the next guy could use for a few days to pick his brain on who is currently on the roster, like Pioli did with Herm. You also have to remember, the next head coach likely won't be able to hire his own personnel department and scouts entirely from the ground up until after the draft, and so they may be stuck with a lot of the current scouts and personnel people on staff until after the draft. That's what happened with Pioli when he took over in 2009 and had to use Carl's guys until after the draft.
Or perhaps it is legal stuff going on in the background. Either way, it sounds to me that if Pioli becomes an impediment to hiring someone, he can be eliminated.
I'm going to trust Hunt on this one, but I retain the right to change my mind on him if he hires some limp head coach who is buddies with Pioli...
