No he wasn't, Pioli/Belichek go hand and hand from 2000 to when the Chiefs got him in 2009.
And I disagree with the idea that Daboll's system doesn't "value mobility" . . . I think we saw how mobile Chad Henne had to become in Daboll's system and Matt Moore is a guy who obviously isn't RGIII mobile, but he isn't a statue either. Colt McCoy isn't a statue and neither is Seneca Wallace . . . I think Tannehill would be a good fit in Daboll's system, I just don't see Pioli putting that high of a price on Tannehill and his lack of experience.
I mean I could be wrong, but I'm just going off of history . . . maybe they love him and trade up but that isn't the norm from Pioli.
Ok. You're right about Pioli. My mistake.
I still don't agree about the Daboll offense. They coached Henne to scramble because he doesn't have very good pocket presence and because our offensive line wasn't very good. But bootlegs, rollouts... stuff like that isn't a big part of that offense. Relative to the WCO, mobility and the ability to throw on the run is minimized.
