You think Pioli made a good hire when he got Haley?

Yes, I think Pioli made a good hire.
But I also think that he had no other viable options the way it all played out, and the short list he had to work from to begin with.
Haley was the only viable candidate left when Pioli finally got around to making a choice.
The rest of the candidates had already been snapped up.

Even though I believe him about all the wire tapping and controling etc., he
looked pretty crazy after that. Most of the country thinks he's a nut case. My friends here in Atlanta make fun of him all the time.
If he gets fired from Pittsburgh, I can't see him ever working in the NFL again. He is lucky to have that job imo and it's because of his dad.

We've talked about this before.
Haley got a chance to interview for the job because of his dad's ties to the Steelers, but the Steelers aren't the best run organization in the NFL because they do favors.
They make sound business and football decisions.
They didn't hire Haley because of his dad.
They hired Haley because they saw him as the very best guy for the job.
