If Pioli leaves say for KC and Mangini goes to the Browns, I don't know but that Belichick might be pursuing Kokinis too.

These must be some heavy options.

If Pioli leaves say for KC and Mangini goes to the Browns, I don't know but that Belichick might be pursuing Kokinis too.

The Plain-Dealer article says it's a temp block till Sunday: http://www.cleveland.com/brownsbeat/index.ssf/2009/01/cleveland_browns_must_wait_unt.html

Kokinis is involved in preparations for the Ravens' divisional playoff game against Tennessee. The game will be played on Saturday. The Ravens don't want anything to interfere with their game preparations.

If the Ravens win and advance to the AFC Championship Game, they have set aside Sunday as an available date for interviews.

I agree on the Kokinis point, I mentioned him as a possible replacement for Pioli if he does leave a few days ago: http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/10/203023-if-pioli-does-leave.html
