We all know that Pioli is Tuna's son-in-law right? I have two questions: 1) Any chance of Pioli coming over in any capacity and 2) Will Thanksgiving dinner be a tad akward next year?
Eventually Pioli is gong to leave NE, because eventually he's going to want some credit for all the work he's done, and he wont get it with Belicheck. Everyone already considers Pioli ot be Belichecks puppet, i can only imagine that will eat a mans pride alive eventually. However, Pioli's not going to leave yet, he simply has no reason to. He's still quite young for a GM.
I think people give him a lot of credit. I constantly hear people saying how great he is with his personel decisions. His name is also thrown around every year as the hottest prospect that could be on the market (even though he never is). Add in a few Super Bowls and a hefty contract and he has no reason to leave the Pats.
