There is no upside to keeping Pioli. There is nothing he is going to contribute. You don't have to clean house until after the last game, but everyone in the front office and coaching staff will know they are out. That is just an added bonus for us, who among this staff is going to try to win when they know they won't have a job in January? |

Don't saddle the new GM with this shit show, just ride it out and end it when the season ends. |

Who cares if everyone is Pioli's minions? Fire the asshole. Anyone who wants to walk is free to. We have 6 weeks. If the entire front office and scouting staff walk, who cares? Hell, if the entire coaching staff walks, who cares? A bunch of shit throwing monkeys could coach as well as this staff. None of them are going to because they want to get paid. We are in no worse position either way. |

Honestly, I don't give a shit what they do. I just completely understand the prudence of being cautious and calculated. There's alot of preparation that can be done without touching Pioli's contract. |

Pioli doesn't affect your ability to contact potential GMs at all. Quote:

A lot of candidates will not talk to the team because there is already a person in place. That is a basic principle that most professionals follow. |

Cowher isn't going to refuse a call from Clark just because Pioli is still employed. Don't be naive. And outside of Cowher and Gruden, he CANNOT TALK TO OTHER CANDIDATES until the season is over. |

As TTC stated yesterday, though, it's likely that Clark is completely lost on this thing, rocking in a corner, sobbing and sucking his thumb. |

And to me, placating the fans takes a backseat to GETTING IT RIGHT. Get the right GM and the right coach and the fans are inherently placated by the WINNING. |

Thus, what would be the negative of firing him and promoting Farmer in an interim role? You don't have to kill Farmer in the process, a statement like this would suffice: "Ray Farmer, who has long been a valued man in our front office, will be our interim GM, but this position will be filled from someone outside the organization. We're going this direction not because Farmer is not qualified for the job--he is--but because I believe we need an outside perspective to get this great organization back to where it needs to be." /Hunt |

If Clark knows he is firing Pioli, having him around for another 6 weeks does absolutely no good. In fact it could cause an issue if Pioli realizes he is getting canned and tries to **** things up on the way out. Pioli has proven he is self centered,I doubt he will take his termination very well.

JMO but a lot of the fans want it now because they fear that if we were somehow win a couple of games and the SOC movement was to lose ground that Pioli might not get fired.

If he's contacting others for GM jobs, don't you think they can figure out who they'll be replacing?
