As RNC chief, Priebus provided the network and workers for the Trump campaign.

I understand that, but given that Trump wasn't exactly a GOP establishment candidate, it doesn't make sense to hire somebody as your chief-of-staff when their loyalties lay elsewhere.

The President likes to reward people who have helped him. Priebus was a lot of help, the President said so numerous times, so he gave him a job befitting his position in the campaign. At least, that’s my take on it.
