Besides, given the possibilities talked about for Haley's replacement up to this point, for me, it's either Ferentz or Gruden. Not a huge fan of the other possibilities.

With Haley ready to quit I am not sure their relationship would have lasted even if Pioli wanted to wait. Either way he probably knew he needed to get the Chiefs name in the coaching ring ASAP. Not doubting he had serious ideas of who it was, but I don't think he would have held on to Todd if he didn't have a serious option.
