Where I don't trust Pioli is where he has also failed in his inability to assemble a coaching staff that provides roster stability. This failure has also hurt Matt Cassel I am sure and there is a very real chance that his decisions here on out could also not be the best for a young, developing quarterback.

What if Pioli tries to tell us our new QB needs time to learn and that Cassel is a better option to win right now with and sits him in the bench for a year or two? What if we draft another DE and give Stanzi three years so Pioli can say he found another gem?
I want this mother gone !

This is a good point and if we look at the staff's he assembled in his 4 years - I wouldn't trust any of them with our prized rookie QBotF. Valid concern and a big check in the 'con' column.

I have to believe there is no way Cassel returns and no way we don't go QB in the first even with Pioli.

This is assuming he does draft a QB 
I just hope he doesn't get antsy since going this high with a QB is not something he neccessarily wants to do. If he's then not doing too great the first two years, Pioli could be like "see, told ya we shoulda stuck with Matt".

If Pioli is kept then Crennel is kept.
Clark Hunt is not stupid. Neither will be retained.
It's as simple as that.

Another GM candidate is Brian Gardner, who's the current Director of Pro Personnel with the Texans. He's been in that role for 6 season, and during that time he's been in charge of building a pretty talented team.
Sure he's had a few very meh drafts, but one of his best was 2009, which most people regard as overall one of the worst drafts in recent memory. In that draft (his second with the team), the one where we got 2 decent players, he landed Cushing, Connor Barwin, Glover Quinn, Antoine Caldwell their C, and James Casey a very under-rated H-back. That's a heck of a draft especially considering how bad most other team's drafts were.

88, I'd be down with Polian, but in reality I'd be down with anybody who doesn't spell their name starting with a P and ending with an I.
Is Marty GM material....seems he's done everything that a GM does except own the title? He would certainly understand the relationship that must exist between the GM and HC. Wow! "Marty and The Chin"......
Sounds like a Disney movie.

I would prefer a young, dynamic GM that understands today's NFL landscape of player personnel and what is coming down the pipeline from college football.
I think guys like Bill Parcells and Joe Gibbs (just two examples) have shown that because the NFL is such a constantly changing environment it is harder for coaches/front office personnel that have been away from the game soo long to re-enter the fray and be successful.

But people have said the same thing about Parcells.
I'd be fine with Marty as an overall head of football ops kind of guy, but not as the main GM. I think Marty would be good at changing the culture, the PR, the overall franchise, but we need a GM with a strong scouting background to head up player acquisition.

I personally don't know why this name doesn't get thrown around more in our forums. The guy is an amazing GM and got "pooped" on in Indi. I would LOVE him in K.C.

No thanks , his teams always had lots of holes covered up by Manning. Also drafted way too many RB's in the 1st.

Because while it seems like Indy has a good draft history under him at a glance, it is actually quite underwhelming. Start here and scroll to his last draft in 2011.
