The defections continue with the Patriots. It's definitely a loss but I'm sure the organization has someone waiting in the wings to replace Pioli. Time and time again, they've proven adept at replacing personnel, albeit the past has been the coaching level. Belichick has been the one constant. Nothing Pioli did wasn't run by Belichick first.
It's certainly going to be interesting but I think the Pats will survive this alright.
