Cat's out of the bag :

'"I'm so thankful that he saw through that and gave me a chance to be evaluated on my merits," Haley said Thursday night. "He's a smart guy — there's a reason why he's so successful. When we decided to do this, he said, 'I want you to be you. That's why I'm hiring you.' It's been phenomenal."
It's not hard for Haley to trace the origin of the stigma. Kansas City general manager Scott Pioli, the man who fired Haley with three games remaining in the 2012 season, might be the basis of a character for a potential Horrible Bosses sequel, what with the paranoia and the micro-managing and the insecurity and the ego-driven bullying.
Now there is mounting pressure on Chiefs owner Clark Hunt to fire Pioli — some fans paid for a plane to fly over Arrowhead Stadium displaying a banner urging the move during a K.C. home game last month — and you can bet Haley wouldn't be devastated to play a part in hastening the GM's descent.'

Haley comes out smelling like a rose.

I LOVE this quote :

"Good coaches, I believe, coach the way that's required to give you a chance to succeed," Haley said. "If you're coming to a team that's won two games the year before [as the Chiefs did in 2008], it's a lot different than coming to a team that's won 12 the previous year, and a whole lot before that. You can't be a robot. If you've got a lot of high-character veterans who play and practice hard, you don't need a lot of ballyhoo."

I never thought Gunther would come back...and I don't think Haley would, but damn; this IS 'his' team - these guys don't play good for anyone else.

Man, I want him back.

This franchise is so SO ****ING SNAKEBIT.
