PFT Speculation: Pioli, McDaniels to Falcons?
 

Wouldn't that just suck?

Re: PFT Speculation: Pioli, McDaniels to Falcons?
 

Pioli MUCH more so than McDaniels.

Apparently, the writer doesn't know that Parcells and Pioli's wife are not on great terms.

Now that's what I call hard information.

I'm not concerned about any of this stuff until we complete the 19-0 season :)

I'm also not sure that working in the shadow of your father in law is the optimal career move - maybe we could get a mid round pick for Cassel, though ;)

There's no way this happens.
McDaniels right now is like Norv Turner, blessed with talent as OC's of dynasties, but way too inexperienced on every other aspect of a football team.

Belichick is signed through 2013, why would Pioli leave before then, when he obviously loves being with the Pats and having an ideal working relationship with Belichick? He doesn't have a big ego like Parcells and doesn't feel compelled to prove anything more or have more power.

Re: PFT Speculation: Pioli, McDaniels to Falcons?
 

Pioli is not going to want to go from a job he is respected and honored for (is their any debate as to him winner executive of the year this year??) to the guy working for his father-in-law??

Anyone here, want to leave your job to go and work for your father-in-law??

Anyone???

I didn't think so.

Tuna has his work cut out for him if he goes to Atlanta. It's at least as much of a mess as when he came here, the only difference being the facilities. The fan base is much weaker as well.

"Moss is on the bubble!"

Re: PFT Speculation: Pioli, McDaniels to Falcons?
 

I know about the personal connection, but would Pioli want to work under Parcells again? He's earned a lot of respect and independence in the Patriots organization, Here he works in tandem with Belichick, who is the first between equals but who also seems to respect Pioli's opinion and give him a lot of leeway, but otherwise doesn't have a "boss," as Kraft's Philosophy, rarely disregarded, is to hire the right football people and let them make the decisions.

I guess a boatload of money might make a difference, but I'd think that Pioli is looking for more independence, running his own show, rather than less.
