I agree.
I think they would have gone 3-4 regardless and Jared might not have had a good place to fit.
But your first sentence is the most important IMO. It's quite possible that Jared wouldn't have meshed with Haley and Pioli - much like Waters and Gonzo, he had accomplished quite a bit personally, and he probably wouldn't have appreciated the style.
