Chiefs Would it be a mistake to fire Todd Haley? - Page 21

**BossChief** · 12-07-2011, 11:54 PM

I started the year in full support of Haley. This team was developing into one of the better teams in football and were young across the board...despite being handcuffed to Matt Cassel. The growth in almost all of our young talent was apparent and easily recognizable.

His fiery attitude is infectious and the team plays with that emotion and passion. Haleys motivational skills are up there with about anyones.

For that, I was willing to overlook his mismanagement of situational football and a few other deficiencies that come with a first time coach and assumed that he would improve in those areas, with experience.

This is one hell of a hard season to judge because of the lack of an offseason. I am willing to give him a partial pass on the early part of the schedule because I still believe it was the right plan if we are looking at the long term big picture. It just sucks that we coincidentally ran into the injury bug at crucial positions early on.

All that said, his offense is embarrassing to watch while Romeos defense is seemingly entering GOD mode without, arguably, its best player. Everyone on earth (sans Haley, seemingly) can see that Palko has no place in the NFL and Haley is seemingly OK with betting half the year on him. I dont understand what Haley sees from a quarterback that has the weakest arm Ive ever seen in the NFL.

I still think that Haley deserves a shot at it with a real quarterback. This team is giving good effort and I think most agree it would be a contender with a real quarterback. Who could have this team in position to contend with these quarterbacks (Im not even gonna touch the Stanzi situation)?

I guess the way we deal with the remaining 4 games plays a lot into this, but at this point I think it would be a mistake to fire Haley either during or after this year, but I can see why someone would disagree with that opinion and thats why I want to see how a poll on this topic shakes out.

Do YOU think it would be a mistake to fire Todd Haley and replace him prior to next year?

A realistic fear would be us firing Haley and him getting picked up in SD.

Yeah, imagine the Chargers led by a well-respected offensive mind who struggles in aspects of game management; they've never been down that road, so it's hard to tell how it would turn out.

Fear? Cassel-in-the-pocket pissing over here, broseph.

Disagree.

Herm had plenty of pieces, he was just clueless on how to use them.

Also, Matt Cassel.

I mean it's working so well.

He will be. In KC. You are delusional if you think otherwise.

Just over one in five think he should be fired. Nearly three out of four think that he shouldn't. So who's barking up the wrong tree?

Matt Cassel was better than any QB Herm had. To say Herm had plenty of pieces is laughable.

One in five? 20% sounds about right, actually, so I'm not sure if this answers your question in the manner you're suggesting.

LOL @ the blind idiots who think Haley will be back next year. It's came to the point where Pioli's guys are calling into radio stations making up shit about Haley. It's obvious the guy is toast.
