I can not remember the source. I think it might have been Felger.
First Off Scott Pioli is listed as the "Vice President" of the Patriots, meaning unless the Giants want to offer him a higher job (i.e. the "President of the Giants" which is currently held by one of the Tisch or Mara sons), Pioli can not break his contract with the Pats to go to the Gaints. So unless Kraft is going to let him go (absolutely not going to happen) Pioli is not going anywhere.
This is typical NY media BS! Pioli had a chance to go to San Diego a few years ago and he didn't go. Why would he go to the Jersey swamps? And "he who shall not be named" is no longer married to his wife's mother, so their is not great draw there either. Plus who would want to live in the city you are named for?
all indications are the Giants want to hire quickly once the season if over, with th epossibility of waiting for Pioli only to get shot down vs. getting someone available at this time - I say they go with the available optionIf the Giants get serious about Pioli, they could only interview him after the Patriots are eliminated from the playoffs or in the week after the wild-card round. According to NFL rules, the Giants could hire him without having to compensate the Patriots if they give him "final say" over all personnel matters - something he does not have in New England.***
