Transition. Literally, that's the only reason I'd keep him around. Handoff.
In corporations I've worked for, it is always easier to take over something when there is a transition period. If you walk into a mess, it takes time to sort through it.
Whoever the new coach is, they will likely be able to hire a new GM if they wish, but more than likely will be stuck with most of Pioli's scouts and lieutenants until after the draft, when personnel contracts usually expire.
Either that or Clark is just delusional in thinking that a new coach would take Pioli as his GM. But he did the same thing with Herm...
