From a logical standpoint, I chose Haley.
IMO, it doesn't make any sense not to have hired a coach that's currently unemployed (Shanahan, Cowher, etc.) or a coach from the college ranks before the Senior Bowl, let alone the Super Bowl.
That leaves coordinators still coaching. Arians and LeBeau are out for obvious reasons, which leaves Pendergast and Haley.
Pendergast has never been mentioned as a head coaching candidate, anywhere. That leaves Haley.
Since Haley has ties with Pioli, I'd say he's the choice.
