I can't say I feel sorry for Haley. He was a real arse.
I just heard on the radio that Haley has been fired. I would have loved to be a fly in the room when Pioli fired him.

The real question is why, if Pioli was thinking of leaving, he didn't take McDaniels with him. I can't imagine that Pioli didn't know that BB was grooming McDaniels to be a HC. . . .
Was he Pioli's hire?
Probably because there is an unwritten rule that when a front office person or coach leaves a team for a new job, they don't raid their former team's coaching staff. Pioli probably didn't go after McDaniels out of respect for Belichick.
See what I wrote above: BB was preparing McDaniels to leave; McDaniels was being asked to interview for jobs after 2007. I don't think BB would have seen it as any form of disrespect if McDaniels had left for KC with Pioli.
Even though McDaniels was leaving. It is one thing for him to go to Denver and another to go to KC and Pioli. Pioli is old school. He might not have wanted to break the unwritten code even if Belichick was ok with it.
