Jeff Chadiha Interviewed on 810 this morning -Interesting bits about Cassel and OC

[ComfortablyNumb]

Jeff Chadiha of ESPN was interviewed on 810 this morning and had some interesting bits about Cassel:

- He revealed that Haley told him that his father, Dick Haley (famous Steelers personnel man), upon watching Cassel practice told him "I don't think you can win with this guy"

- Was told by a source within the Chiefs that he trusts that Matt Cassel was still mistakenly calling out plays using Patriots terminology...in year two

- Was told that Weiss was not a Cassel fan at all (I know this isn't new, but yet another source confirming what we already know)

- Was informed by multiple sources around the league that the Chiefs OC job is not a prime destination because of the atmosphere created by Pioli, lack of confidence in the staying power of Romeo and the fact that Cassel is the QB

Very depressing interview....

[Sofa King]

Confirming shit we all already thought.

We finally have a 2nd, credible source corroborating Charles Robinson's comments on Weis thinking Cassel was a waste of time.

The evidence is mounting. Will Pioli hold fast and sink with the ship?

Being a Chiefs' fan...

And I think his base is KC. He's often on local TV during NFL season and is very knowledgeable about the Chiefs.

What's funny is that in the interview Chadiha used that exact same analogy (i.e. the Titanic) and said he believed that Pioli would in fact sink with the ship in an attempt to prove he was right all along

We might as well have Jamarcus. Cassel sucks, he's stupid, and no one wants to be around him. But it's not his fault.

Great.

But, but, but...Charles Robinson's just some hack that throws shit at the wall!!!!

Oh wait, he doesn't do that at all.

Pioli's going to absolutely submarine this franchise. Look at how !@#$ing pathetic this division is yet we're not going to accomplish a thing because this asshole won't cut bait on his pet project and has built an organization that is so uptight and uncomfortable that he can't get any good coaches in here to take coordinator gigs.

This sucks worse than the 2-14 year. At least then you could see that we had some young talent and it appeared we only needed a new coach to unlock it. There was a light at the end of the tunnel.

Now we know that Clark's not going to fire this arrogant shitheel. We know we're stuck with Pioli at least for the next 2 seasons and if he manages to stumble into an 8-8 record one of those years, we'll end up getting him for another 5 beyond that. We'll get to live with a parade of mediocre coaches from "the tree" and half-assed attempts to deal with the most important position in organized sports.

Fantastic. Just ****ing fantastic.

[redfan]

Well, ****.

Once again this proves, the wrong guy was fired.

Pioli just puts his sausage fingers in his ears and points to a mirage of a 2010 record.

Clark is married to Pioli.

Why couldn't it have been that both are useless?

Then he only gets 4 out of his 5 years and Romeo only gets one.

It's a real shame, too.

Pioli has made very solid moves with the rest of the roster and if he just gets rid of Cassel, signs Orton and drafts a quarterback in the first two rounds, he would be a golden god.

He would be, but he's not doing it.

He legitimately thinks Cassel is a franchise QB.

Wanna bet?

There's no chance in hell that Clark fires Pioli. If he bottoms out of the next 2 years, Clark may not retain him, but even then I'd give it a 50/50 shot.

Pioli's here for the full 5 no matter what happens.

This just has to be impossible.
