I also think it'll be guys they've worked with before, meaning guys from the Parcells/Patriots coaching tree. However, Pioli won't be stealing coaches from New England and I'm sure he won't steal them from his father-in-law's team in Miami. Haley would probably lose some respect for stealing coaches from Arizona as well.
I'm surprised more Steelers defensive assistants haven't been targeted. They've had a lot of consistency with their staff over the last 5-6 years and longer, even with the Cowher/Tomlin changeover.
At least we'll know whether we're going to switch to a 34 defense once the coordinator is announced. Hopefully the rumors that Haley was assembling a staff during Super Bowl week is true so that it doesn't take forever.
Romeo Crennel obviously becomes a favorite for this job, since he's a Patriots guy and is available. I wish Gunther was still here - I have the feeling he and Haley would've gotten along just fine!
