Teams can give their employees whatever titles they want, the Patriots could call him the Supreme Allied Commander, but he still doesn't have complete front-office authority in New England, Belichick does. In KC he might.On rotoworld it states that KC offered Pioli the GM job....please correct me if Im wrong, but isnt a GM lower on the totem pole than VP of football operations??
If it is a demotion, why would KC even bother?

Ike called, he wants his title back!!
The only question is do the Patriots ask for compensation. Now lets see the Chiefs sent a 3rd rounder to the Jets for Herm Edwards, which if you scaled that to actual football knowledge, then the Cheifs will have to send the next five entire drafts to the Patrioits...
I don't know if a GM is higher or lower that VP of Football Operations, but if it is, so what? Pioli isn't VP of Football Operations.On rotoworld it states that KC offered Pioli the GM job....please correct me if Im wrong, but isnt a GM lower on the totem pole than VP of football operations??

Right, that's what front-office means in regards to a team.We already know he won't handle business aspects. Owner Hunt said so. Football Ops are separate from Business Ops.
I've always understood that Belichick has final say over football matters, though I could obviously be wrong. Goodell, in doling out his brand of justice for Spygate, said that he fined the team because "coach Belichick not only serves as the head coach but also has substantial control over all aspects of New England's football operations. His actions and decisions are properly attributed to the club." Again, I could be wrong, but I think that Belichick could terminate Pioli's employment, but I doubt Pioli could terminate Belichick's.so how are we so sure here that Pioli doesnt have final say here? and that BB does?
i always thought it was a sort of a 50/50 thing...

If there's one thing I'm good at, it's being roundabout.thats a roundabout way of saying that Pioli reports to Belichick....

Wow, do you actually know this to be true, or is it something you infer from reading/listening to local sports sports media? Not saying it doesn't make sense - it does - but how do you people learn stuff like this about the Pats inner workings?- Bill can't fire Scott without the Kraft's approval
