That's fair. Perhaps I meant to say the Haley hire was not bad at the time. Obviously if we walked into this thing knowing he'd drive away every coach he worked with, had an incredibly toxic relationship with Pioli, or would eventually lose support of the locker room, we would have passed.
But at the time he had a strong reputation for developing talent. Which, for the record, we'll be reaping the benefits from a lot of his work.
We can criticize Pioli for the Cassel hire... but what was his other option? The only other realistic option (taking Dalton at #27 last year would have been criminal at the time) would be to select Mark Sanchez. And we'd have a shit quarterback instead of a shit quarterback.
There have literally been no other options... until Kyle Orton hit the market. So that should tell you exactly how much Pioli thinks of Cassel.
And, by the way, you don't trade your draft away for one player.
Especially a player like RG3, who we have no idea how well he'll fare in the NFL given his style of play that we've honestly never seen before.
