It's oddly personal for me with this guy. My firm was run by a person that is so damn similar to him that it's not even funny. The power structure was the same, the attitude was the same, the manner of dealing with confrontation was the same.
The guy tried to can me 3 or 4 times over the last 5 years. Fortunately I'm pretty damn good at this, so our founding partner vetoed him each time.
We had a coup about 6 months ago and ousted the asshole from his director's position...but couldn't get the BDIC to fire him outright (they've developed that Clark/Pioli level of trust between them). So he was 're-assigned' to a nominal role an ostensibly stripped of all authority...for about 4 months. He's still here and he's slowly working his way back into an officer role. He'll continue to try to consolidate power within departments and increase his turf. He will
always be slowly working his way back into authority - it's who he is.
I've moved up high enough in the world that he can't touch me now; as a Partner I'm technically his boss now. That said, that's the
only reason I don't worry about him and the people in Arrowhead won't have that privilege.
Anyone that has ever worked for/with someone like Scott Pioli knows exactly how this will go with him.
He cannot be allowed to remain with the Chiefs in any capacity. His sole goal in life will be to subvert, undermine and attempt to work his way back into authority using every bit of personal pull he has with Clark. He'll lie, cajole and manipulate until he's close enough to where he was as to make no difference.
People that know men like this know better. I cannot root for this franchise with Scott Pioli involved in it. I just cannot.
