I think this might be a case of 1 plus 1 equals 3. It's amazing how often people will extrapolate facts in the absence of evidence ... no offense intended toward you, of course, Mr. O.city.
I haven't read anything that explicitly states that "Haley liked Cassel". What I have read is that Weis threw his hands up on Cassel, so Haley took over the job of developing Cassel. Then, when Cassel improved, Weis got the credit which irritated Haley. Haley admires and respects his father. I highly doubt that he would "like" Cassel as a player when his father called him trash on sticks.
I would also like to mention that the WR position isn't all about yards. Bowe's downfield blocking improved dramatically after Haley came along. In fact, it's one of the demonstrable reasons why some of JC's runs were so lengthy.
To me, it's beginning to look as though Dr. Evil has a "my way or the highway" philosophy that prevents him from seeing his own mistakes ... which, in turn, prevents him from correcting them.
Haley embarrassed Clark on the national tubewaves which is probably why he's gone. I don't think our core problems left with him, though.
