Because Pioli was so bullheaded that all he wanted to run was 2-gap. There are only a handful of guys who run that, and Romeo wasn't coming back to coaching that year.
Instead, he hired a guy in Clancy Pendergast who runs Gus Bradley's exact scheme he's now running in Seattle, and forced Pendergast to run a 2-gap defense that wasn't in his wheelhouse. How do we know that? Because Tyson Jackson is a prototypical 2-gapper.
