I guarantee you, it goes a lot deeper than that.
Clark Hunt was on the hook for $1 million dollars plus to Chan Gailey. I'm positive that there were discussions with both Haley & Pioli about their ability and willingness to work with Gailey. Haley was likely asked to at least give it a go with Gailey, for the sake of Hunt's pocketbook but was also likely to have the option of final say.
Haley gave it a go and it wasn't working for him. End of story.
