Right on, couldn't have said it better.

Sorry guys but I think you are going to have some fun with Haley, all reports I have read say he is an arrogant in your face coach and that does not work well at the HC spot, he got away with it as a O-Coord. but most of his guys hated him and were happy to see him leave.

I do not agree that football is just a business, these guys all have a lot of pride and once you disrespect them they do not forget. This is actually what causes issues with team chemistry and if you do not get it together all the great business moves will not bring you a trophy.

He should have spoke with the man - period.

I read that too. I haven't heard anything else on it, so I hope everything was cleared up. I can't imagine a new coach and GM NOT wanting to meet with veteran players. If I was in Haley's or Pioli's position, I'd want input especially from veteran players. These are the guys who have been through the ups and downs and could get the rest of the team on the same page with new management.
