Is Scott Pioli step 1 of Bill Parcells master plan? There is a lot of speculation that Belicheat will walk away from the Patriots if they win the Super Bowl, which may loosen up the Patriots hold on Pioli a bit....add that to the fact that Pioli is married to Bill Parcells daughter and I think you could classify him as a Parcells guy....I like Mueller a lot, but Pioli is a proven evaluator and I like him better....
It'll be interesting to see what happens. I think this is the same position that Marino had for 3 weeks a few ago. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3162909

I hope your on to something, Beef.

There is a lot of speculation that Belicheat is so pissed about Spygate that he wants to stick it to the league by going undefeated and then he will give them all a collective "fuck off" and ride off into the sunset....hes not a young guy, hes got plenty of money, hes got several teenage boys he doesnt get to see a lot....Do you have any idea how hard it is on someone to be the face of evil to millions of people? No matter how egotistical you are, it does take a toll eventually....
That's all just speculation by people. Belichick had a yr left on his deal and then signed an extension through 2013 right after the whole spygate stuff. I don't think he would have done that if he were planning on leaving.
