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.

The whole Pioli inherited the best players on the team thing makes me wonder, why is this a knock on Pioli? Should Pioli have cut those players and replaced them with FA and draft picks to prove he can find his own guys? It's silly to me to find fault with Pioli because many of the best players on the team were here before him. You're right there were several good players already on the team. So what should Pioli have done with that fact?
Here's something Pioli is doing, he is recognizing those good players, and resigning them before they hit FA.
That's a way he's different from Peterson.
