.Wonder if this was the plan all along?
.If I remember rightly, RAC was sidelined with hip surgery and was unable to become the coach, so Haley was perhaps the consolation prize. Then, when the problems between Haley and Pioli happened it was an easy decision to can Haley and promote the first choice, who, oh by the way, had become the D-Coordinator in the meantime. If so, it makes perfect sense that Romeo becomes the HC for awhile, and a young coach comes in to be groomed for an eventual replacement. I know, conspiracy theories abound about so many things, but Haley was a late hire, so who of us knows?
