I don't think he played it smart at all. I think playing it smart would be refusing to even talk about the possibility of going anywhere while you're getting a game plan ready for the super bowl. I don't know why he would even answer the question. Say "I'm the OC of the Arizona Cardinals and we're getting ready for a game this Sunday. That's all I'm doing. Next question." I don't think he's doing any positive service to himself or his team by even taking any time to answer the question.

Plus... here's something to think about. I think Pioli wants guys who fully focus on the task at hand and don't feed media frenzys. He's a no talk, get the job done guy. I wonder if he would even want a guy that talks about another job while he's suppossed to be getting ready for a super bowl. I can see Scott looking at Haley's response as a possible indicator that Haley's not his kind of guy.
