I think that's part of it, but I also think that Haley likes to use the middle of the field more in the passing game than Weis.
As for Gailey, Haley prefers more plays out of the pro set, setting up better opportunities for big plays out of play action, while Gailey really wanted to mask Cassel's weakness as a pro set QB by using a lot more spread.
I would guess, and this is only a guess, that Haley felt the best way to develop Cassel in the pro set was to actually use it in games.
