When Dick Haley's boy and Bill Parcell's son in law (Pioli) want a ****ing job, they get one. Haley was actually a great WR coach and OC. He may have been a great head coach, had his GM not driven him insane and broke him. We don't know.
But we know they got promotions in KC...for the successes they had elsewhere.
What other industry gives promotions like that to "external hires"???
Come on. You're an intelligent person.

This is such a stupid argument. Both of those people had success in their prior roles. That's typically a prerequisite to be poached by other organizations, and that's true in any field. Regardless of the relationships they have.
What world do you live in that you can't see that's pretty standard? I see this every single day in my industry.
It's called a meritocracy. And it's exactly why EB didn't get a head coaching job. Because there's no Oz just pulling the strings behind the scenes based on relationships and optics.
