When Pioli traded for Matt Cassel, I deferred to his supposed insider knowledge of Cassel, but commented that I thought because of this insider knowledge, he was effectively betting his job on the trade, because he would look like a joke if Cassel didn't pan out...
Well, all this talk about whether Haley sucks or not....the fact of the matter is that Pioli in fact did fail in his gamble with Cassel. This press conference is about the termination of Todd Haley's contract, but really should be about the fact that we have wasted 3 years because of Pioli's bad bet and now must start over.
