This is a bad hire. There is no other way to look at it, really.
It's a hire that reinforces the team's commitment to Cassel and I think we all know that Cassel is not going to win a lot of playoff games in his stellar career. It's also a hire that subtly demonstrates that KC is not an attractive place to coach right now. Both of those things are bad.
The fans of KC deserve better. However, I am convinced that - as sure as God made Narwhals - Pioli thinks Chiefs fans are a bunch of uneducated clod-hoppers and undeserving of his majesty and greatness. They're also litterers, so it really doesn't matter to him what they think. Pioli knows they'll buy tickets to watch crap.
