In full disclosure, I was a Todd Haley backer. After being in Met Life Stadium to watch his last game as the Chiefs head coach on Sunday, I think that the team had no other option but to fire Haley. I also think that we are about to see them purge the entire coaching staff after the season. So even a guy like Romeo is probably on his way out.
Some of my random thoughts.
Sunday’s Game: MetLife Stadium is awesome. The Jets fans were awesome. The four jumbotrons in each corner of the stadium were awesome. Their club level was not empty during the game – AWESOME. The club room that I was in stopped serving alcohol after half time – WTF? Probably a good thing since I was getting wasted. Maybe they just shut me down, I don’t know. Chatted with former TE Fred Baxter, I think he saw me slobbering over his Super Bowl ring he got with the Pats. Awesome guy. Said a lot of nice things about the Chiefs.
I bring all of this up because for the first time in my life I was at a Chiefs game in person and didn’t give a fu@k. I was socializing, I was drinking, I was looking up other scores, and I was making fun of people. I was not in to the game. I feel bad, but the product is just so poor.
Why Haley had to go: This team is a mess on offense and with a “normal” offseason ahead the Chiefs are probably going to spend some bucks. I don’t think that management could go into the offseason with a lame duck coach with no record of accomplishment. The fact that Haley can’t seem to work with a legitimate offensive coordinator has hurt this team.
Matt Cassel: Pack your bags son. I think Cassel is gone for many of the same reasons that Haley needed to lead. The Chiefs cannot continue to build around a quarterback that only had one good year. Passing for an average of 170 yards a game with a TD here and there is embarrassing in this league. I think we are going to see Stanzi for a few games. Management will want to know what they have in him.
Romeo: I feel bad for Romeo because he’s in a difficult spot. There is no way that he becomes the head coach of the Chiefs. I think the reason behind firing Haley now and letting Romeo coach is help usher him out as well. The idea that the Chiefs can attract a legitimate head coach and make him keep Romeo is fantasy. Maybe if the right guy is hired I could see it, but Romeo’s comments that he wants to be a HC again is also not good. I think the entire coaching staff is about to be replaced.
Clark and Pioli will go big: The Chiefs organization needs to show potential free agents as well as its fans that they are serious about winning. For that reason alone I don’t think that we will see McDaniels in KC. I think we will be getting a name brand HC like Jeff Fisher or Cowher. This is another reason why Romeo isn’t going to stick. The best guys out there are defensive coaches and the last thing they want is not to be able to pick their DC. Face it; we have more defensive talent than offensive talent. Bringing in a defensive coach makes a lot of sense for the team. It also should help us attract a strong offensive coordinator since they would likely get a lot of control.
I think Fisher is the guy. The big question is who do you get to run the offense and what do you do at QB.
