Haley is a pretty toxic guy and there were rumors early in the season that he and Pioli were barely on speaking terms at times. You look at the way he ran off Chan Gailey, Charlie Weis. The way he would ream out Cassel and others on the sidelines. The handshake incident against Denver last year. The sideline incident when he was with the Cards spazzing on Anquan Bolden in the playoffs. He's just not a people person and players just aren't going to play hard, long for a guy like that. Yeah the injuries hurt but the losing is a good excuse for Pioli correct his mistake and get rid of a guy that isn't head coach material.
I assume Pioli wanted to get him out of there ASAP just to get his abrasive nature out of the locker room so they could put him in the past and focus on next year.
