There was some still that GoChiefs posted a year ago that showed Haley's formation with that Urban and Pope as the receivers out wide.
He just absolutely did not fit with this organization, at the very least. At the very most, he is simply not able to handle the pressures of coaching at the highest level.

I've always expressed that Haley was the unfortunate scapegoat for a completely dysfunctional front office. I think the dysfunctions have less to do with a coach being unfit to coach as they are a front office so arrogant that they believe they can treat a head coach in the way that they did, just because he had some differences in opinion. I still think Haley will be a good coach one day. I think Pioli will be a good GM too, but I think in terms of Haley, Pioli was by far the one who showed the most "greenness" when it came to learning a new position.
