Haley/Pioli: 14-20 (0-1 in the playoffs, scored 7 points in playoff lost)
Both regimes had their only playoff seasons with the NFC West on the schedule.
The book on Haley is pretty clear now... his ego has destroyed any chance of the Chiefs attracting/retaining high quality assistant coaches and having any legit championship aspirations.
The book on Pioli is now being exposed and it is exposing Pioli as a FRAUD. Pioli's 2009 draft looks like an epic disaster and his 2010 draft has huge holes in it (see the second round draft picks). The most productive players on the roster are mostly players drafted by Carl (Jamaal Charles, Derrick Johnson, Tamba Hali, Dwayne Bowe, etc.) Pioli also has yet to sign an impact free agent.

I'm not as worried about Haley. I still think he's a good coach, and I think he's more than capable of of running the offense. But none of this spit the time bullshit. He needs to hire a bunch of capable assistants, have his assistants coach and game plan, then he needs to take absolute control of playcalling.
Pioli's done fine with this team. This team has become pretty deep while barely spending a dime. I don't think we should overreact and say that this team is in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes. They won't end up even close. But what's pretty clear is that in year 3 of the Pioli experiment, this team isn't nearly as good as it should be, and that falls on what looks like the wrong decision in picking our QB.
The good news is, I truly think this team is a QB away from being contenders. The bad news is... well... they're a great QB away from being contenders.
