Fezmid Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 Yeah, that really got on my nerves when they announced it. Why not take away a 1st rounder? That would have hurt a little bit. Or maybe ban them from the postseason for a year? I dunno. Something else could have been more of a punishment than that cheesy one. 239742[/snapback] The T'Wolves lost (I think) 4 or 5 first round picks when it was found they were making deals under the table.

Fezmid Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 A lot of other people argue here that because they can make 30% more for a loser, it's totally reasonable to expect them to leave. I agree, why leave when you're winning? Apparently because you have no perspective and you feed your family with Escalades. 239745[/snapback] Yeah, but we're talking nearly 300% more in the case of Pioli ($800,000 vs $2.2M). He'd be the GM and president of the club, and it's not like the Seahawks are the worst team in the league; they made the playoffs last year. CW

And if Holmgren doesn't improve on last year's showing, I say he's gone and the job is still available to Pioli after his contract is up. Plus, it's a mess there with tons of players ready to leave. That said, I think Pioli is bonkers for not taking it. His stock will take a bit of a hit after next year's 3-13 season in NE.
William The Conqueror Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 Yeah he does. He stopped other position coaches from leaving for coordinator spots. 239754[/snapback] Could you elaborate? Who have they 'stopped' from going to another team?
