Chiefs I'll Take Todd Haley for a hundred, Alex - Page 15

**Meatloaf** · 03:11 PM

Ok, I realize that most of you are not going to like this observation, but I'm going to make it anyway: We'd have been better off keeping Todd Haley as our coach than hiring Andy Reid. Yeah, I said it.

This whole franchise lacks.......balls. And not the over/under-inflated kind either. Haley was obviously learning on the job as to how to be a head coach, so he clearly made some mistakes. However, he knew that given the talent that Scooter had provided, the ONLY way for him to be competitive was to roll the dice and take some chances. Clearly, some of said chances were real boners, but the guy had cojones.

Plus, Haley had zero support from his boss who handcuffed him Mr Cassel, and didn't he have Tyler Palko as his backup QB? Those guys weren't pro-caliber QBs, heck they weren't much more than answers to trivia questions.

Haley also wasn't going to put up with pussy-footed players.....period. See DJ and Bowe about that.

Instead we now have Andy Reid who selected Alex "The Accountant" Smith as his "dynamic" QB. BTW, did you hear Smith after the game? Calmly assessed it as "only one game" and "there's a lot of football left" bullshit. And of course Reid took responsibility for the game, but Lord have mercy, what in the world does THAT mean? Is he gonna put himself in timeout?

I wanna see someone with some PASSION. Not some cool, calculating football "genius" who constantly outthinks himself. I wanted to hear "Totally and Completely Unacceptable", not this mealy-mouthed "My Responsibility" crap.

Anyway, like him or not, I claim we'd be MUCH further down the road to the Super Bowl with Todd Friggin' Haley as coach than we are with the ultra-conservative, don't push the ball down the field, Andy Reid. I can sure as hell guarantee you that Haley's choice for a QB wouldn't be some wanna-be accountant type. He'd have some gunslinger out there who shows some friggin' PASSION.

Frankly, I'm tired of all of the conservative mindlessness within this friggin' organization. Next thing you know, we're gonna change our colors to an electric beige.

Gimme a friggin' break....

He gets blamed for the QB he didn't want. There is clear proof of this.
Gets blamed for playing Palko even though he lobbied for Hasselbeck and Kaepernick and got denied
Gets no credit for DJ and Bowe, even though they've fallen off a cliff since he left. And nevermind that he's turning every single Steeler receiver into a monster
Is accused of only working with great QBs, even though he managed to coach Big Ben to work within an offense (versus freelancing)

I'm wrong about a lot of shit. But at least I own up to it. Haley is yet another example of cp stubbornly refusing to admit they were dead wrong about the guy. He's done a pretty good job in Pittsburgh

To add to all of this :

Haley won 10 games in 2010 and was still mathematically eligible to win the DIVISION when he was fired in 2011.

RAC took pretty much the exact same team (some thought 2012 signings like E Winston, S Routt and D Robinson were "upgrades") and turned it into something worse than an AIDS-filled dumpster fire of abortions.

CP, much like society itself, is full of ****ing morons.

It's truly a shame he got saddled with Peeholi.

Telling McClown to go **** himself? I mean, who the **** doesn't love that?

Yup.

Haley was like the Red Forman of NFL HCs.

His "strategy" was known as "boot in ass". And it was effective.

No, Andy Reid sucks.

Haley would've had this team at 3-2, at least

Dwayne Bowe as well.

Bowe was never as good as he was as when Haley had his boot up Bowe's ass.
