According to Michael Holley, Pioli and McDaniels didn't speak to each other about their plans as they were exiting New England because they didn't want to look like they were working in cahoots and planning a mass exodus. Because Belichick might have taken it the wrong way and both Josh and Pioli could have ended up like Mangini: disowned from the family and wishing Papa Bill would send them a Christmas card as they huddle in a dank alley, eating week-old macaroni and cheese out of a dumpster.
Without any question, Todd Haley had plenty of flaws. But in a few years, if we line up Pioli, Haley, Clark, Cassel and anyone else who's been a key part of the Chiefs power structure since the start of 2009, and we rank them in order of who did the most amount of good for the Chiefs -- or the least amount of bad, if you prefer -- I'd bet dollars to donuts that Haley wins in a landslide.
And now those other guys are all that's left.
