At the time pioli was hired, he was the only thing close to a good candidate on the market.
Hunt hired pioli and it appeared that the option was either hire Haley or let herm lame duck so that in 2009, the chiefs would get to search for a coach in the first wave. Pendergast is a classic example of a lame duck hire because of what was available at the time. Once we knew haley was in, herm was out. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw something similar here. I don't care how it's done, as long as it is done and pioli can't demolish this franchise any further.

January 13th is very late?
February 6th, Todd Haley is hired - over 3 weeks later.
You saying "most HC's were taken" is ****ing bullshit.
