Anybody still think Haley shouldn't have been fired?

Clancy Pentegast was never hired to be the defensive coordinator. He was hired to be a position coach while Pioli was still trying to hire Romeo to run the defense.

He was named the defensive coordinator weeks after being under contract in KC and Haley said multiple times during that span that "they" were still looking for a "DC".

It was only after Romeo publicly turned down the job that Clancy was named to the position.

Looking at it all now, it was the first sign that we were standing on the tracks and a train full of hurt was heading our way.

Yeah...Pioli was a giant bag of douche from the get-go.

Haley was ****ed through the drive-thru before this thing even got started.

He really was.

1) Pioli traded for Cassel before Haley was hired.

2) Pioli wanted to force Romeo on Haley in 2009 and even after Romeo turned down the job, Pioli didnt want anyone else hired so the door would be open the following year when Romeo was healthy enough to take the job...therefore Clancy was promoted after being hired on to be a position coach.

3) Pioli forced Gailey on Haley.

4) Pioli forced Weis on Haley.

5) Pioli made the Tyson Jackson pick when Haley didnt want any part of it.

6) Pioli shot down the idea of signing Hasselback to back up Cassel during the 2011 offseason.


I would love to see Haley in a NORMAL HC POSITION where he could hire his own staff and have a legit QB to work with.

I would be willing to bet almost anything the guy will excel when he gets his chance and that might come as soon as next year.
