Franklin couldn't handle the test, and wanted out. I don't see why this is on Haley at all.
I also disagree with you that Haley has a short leash. Pioli knows Rome wasn't built in a day. This roster was a complete bag of shit when he took over. Haley is going to be given a long leash.

There were rumors of Haley alienating players when he was with the Cards. True or False? We don't know...but the rumor is definitely out there.
Obviously we will agree to disagree. The bottom line though is that Haley isn't too likeable or friendly to the media, has been rumored to be a pretty stand-off-ish, arrogant guy, and has no real previous history of success. When you add those things together, along with his team struggling to win games, it has the makings of a quick hook.
Again, I am a Haley backer...but he needs to win some games pretty quickly before some of the other things start to rear their ugly head. Winning cures all.
