per espn's williamson:

The early buzz is that Miami assistant Todd Bowles could be a candidate for defensive coordinator. Bowles is a well-respected coach and has interviewed for some head-coaching jobs. He could help rebuild the defense in Kansas City, but ultimately it all comes down to Pioli and Haley.

Pioli's job to give Haley the pieces to make it work on the field. All eyes are on Pioli as the league wants to see if he can succeed on his own without the comfort of having Bill Belichick in the same building. In Haley, Pioli has selected a young, bright coach who was known almost as much for his explosive personality as his explosive offense attack.
