That made me LOL.

There can be truth to this. Certainly nobody will ever complacent in the organization considering how they're snatched away.

It all comes down to the skills of those in the pipeline--like (I forget his name) down in Atlanta....would have been a great replacement. So the question is who's next in line for these gigs, and what they bring to the table. Because it's the Pats, there's every hope we'll continue to see top-level performance. Truth is, nobody knows until they get the job and have to deliver.

This sucks. First McDaniels. Now Pioli. Probably Seeley and Capers too. There is a lot of rebuilding going on in the coaching and front office for the Pats this year.

Belichick most likely has a contingency plan for all of the losses and Nick Caserio is the most obvious. Thomas Dmitroff learned a ton from Pioli and is an executive star after one year of leaving the shadow of the great ones in New England. Maybe Caserio can be as successful.

P.S. I gotta eat a lot of crow today. Never thought in a million years that Pioli would go to KC. Didn't know his wife has family in the area, but still never thought it would happen.

I'm wondering if Pioli and McDaniels had any discussions of moving on as a team, taking Cassel with them. Kansas City would've been the perfect choice for that trio.

Is Dante Scarnecchia disliked by the other 31 teams?

He has been here longer than dirt on earth, but no one wants to try and hire the old boy - not that I want anyone to.

***Spiral*** · 01-13-2009, 02:58 PM

Floyd Reese would be a good pick to take over Caserio's job.

Pfffttt make room at the table, I didn't think Pioli or McD were going anywhere.

At least he didn't go to Cleveland

I'm sure the Pats have known Pioli's leaving was a real possibility and they've planned for it.

I'm dying to see what all these contracts are though.
