Haley thinking about Super Bowl, not speculation concerning Chiefs’ job
By RANDY COVITZ | THE KANSAS CITY STAR

TAMPA, Fla. | The situation was clearly awkward for Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley.

With the biggest game of his life five days away, the timing couldn’t be worse for Haley to address the head coaching vacancy with the Chiefs.

Sitting in the searing heat Tuesday morning at Raymond James Stadium during Super Bowl media day, Haley acknowledged his history with new Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli and wished him well.

Though Haley, who turns 42 next month, never envisioned this opportunity would arise so soon, he conceded the chance to coach in Kansas City might be too difficult to pass up.

“I don’t know if you can say everybody wants to be a head coach,” said Haley, who began his career in the New York Jets’ personnel department. “I didn’t get in this business to be a head coach. As you move further along, and you move up the ladder, it’s something you start to think about.

“ ‘Could I do this job, could I not do this job?’ I have great confidence in my ability, and if the right situation presents itself, I think I’d like to show that.”

Haley is not oblivious to the fact Kansas City could be the right situation.

“That would make me feel good, but that’s pure speculation, and something I’m not thinking about, and that’s coming from my heart,” he said. “We worked too hard to get to this game, and I am truly excited and blessed that the Arizona Cardinals are in the Super Bowl, which is a monumental thing.”

Haley, a college golfer and former golf coach at Jacksonville (Fla.) University, began his football career working with Pioli for three years in the New York Jets’ personnel department during 1995-98. Pioli moved on to New England with Bill Belichick in 2000, and Haley remained an admirer of their work as the Patriots won three Super Bowls during 2001-04 and went unbeaten in the 2007 regular season.

“Scott is great at what he does,” Haley said. “What he and coach Belichick have done in New England is awesome. They have the blueprint on how to work together to succeed, so I’m really happy for Scott. He’s been an anonymous, low-key guy who has done a great job in New England … he has a great opportunity, and I’d like to see him succeed.”

•••

Two men have had profound influences on Todd Haley’s career. One is his father, Dick, a former Pittsburgh cornerback who served as the Steelers’ director of player personnel during 1971-90 and helped build the four-time Super Bowl champions of the ’70s.

The other is Bill Parcells, for whom he worked with the Jets in the late 1990s and at Dallas during 2004-06. Parcells is Pioli’s father-in-law, and as executive vice-president/football for the Miami Dolphins, oversees Dick Haley, now a personnel man in the Dolphins’ front office.

Todd Haley spent his summers at the Steelers’ training camp and his Sundays at Three Rivers Stadium as a ball boy, towel boy and whatever was needed.

“Just to be around the Bradshaws and Lamberts and Swanns on a daily basis,” Haley reflected, “I was just a kid enjoying the ride, and I thought Super Bowls came around every year. I have such a great appreciation for where I am now because it’s been 30 years since my father’s last Super Bowl, and he’s worked hard for many, many years.”

Young Todd Haley traveled with his dad to the Senior Bowl and Hula Bowl and watched how Dick Haley evaluated talent and assembled the Pittsburgh teams that won four Super Bowls in the 1970s.

That’s what makes coaching against the Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII on Sunday night so special to Haley.

“I had a chance to work for coach (Bill) Cowher four or five years ago,” Haley said, “but chose to go back with coach Parcells in Dallas and proceeded to watch the Steelers blow it up, going 15-1 (in 2004) and when they went to the Super Bowl (in 2005), they started showing all the old highlights.

“I’d watch the years when I was growing up, and you get teary-eyed about it. I thought, ‘I could have been there,’ but it’s all worked out, and the fact it is the Steelers this week is just unbelievable. So many of my close friends are back in Pittsburgh and are huge Steelers fans and are at the tailgates every week.”

Haley’s father moved on to the Jets’ personnel department in 1991, where Todd began learning the family business. But the coaching bug bit, and he took a substantial pay cut and became an entry-level Jets receivers coach for Parcells in 1999. That was followed by a stint with the Chicago Bears during 2001-03 before he joined Parcells’ staff for 2004-06.

“Parcells’ impact was big,” Haley said. “It’s no accident that he’s had success everywhere he goes. I’m so grateful to have been able to spend seven, eight years around him to soak in as much as you can. He’s a master motivator, and whatever he would be doing, he would be highly successful, whether it be football or business.”

In fact, some of Haley’s sideline demeanor, caught on camera in heated discussions with Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Anquan Boldin during the NFC championship game, resembles a young Parcells.

“It’s my personality,” said Haley, who joined the Cardinals as coordinator in 2007. “I’m more to the confrontational side. I can’t hold things in. It’s something you’ve got to balance as a coach all the time. You can’t do whatever you want and say whatever you want. You have to keep some semblance of control. I try to use it to my advantage as best I can, and the guys know how I am and how I go about it, so it’s not a surprise to anybody.”

Having coached divas such as Terrell Owens and Keyshawn Johnson as well as Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald has prepared Haley for anything.

“I’m grateful I coached receivers as long as I did,” Haley said. “They’re a unique group generally, a little high-profile for the most part. If you can handle that group, and over time I have proven to have pretty successful groups, it (says) a lot about my development as a coach.”

•••

Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt says Haley is ready to become a head coach. So do others, such as Warner and Fitzgerald.

Haley would be following Whisenhunt’s path. Whisenhunt went from offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh to head coach in Arizona, where in two years he has led the longtime laughingstock of the NFL into the Super Bowl. Haley has been part of that, running the NFL’s fourth-ranked offense.

“With the success a lot of young coaches have had in the league right now, there’s not any question,” Whisenhunt said of Haley’s readiness for the job. “Todd’s done a great job as a play-caller and coordinator, and a lot of those things he has learned in that role are the very same things I learned in my role at Pittsburgh.

“A lot of the things we’ve done and have had success with will serve Todd very well in the future.”

Warner, about to play in his third Super Bowl, said Haley brought “a competitiveness that maybe we didn’t have to that degree before. He brought an accountability to our offense, no matter who you are or what you’ve accomplished. He’s put the players in the best positions to win. That’s a huge part of success for a coach.”

Fitzgerald, the dominant offensive star of the NFL playoffs this season, said Haley pushed him harder than any coach he’s had.

“No matter what you do, it’s never good enough,” Fitzgerald said. “That’s not because he’s being hard on you, it’s because he wants you to be the best. He told me when he first got here, he wanted me to be the best receiver in the NFL, and he’s going to push me and drive me to that point. He’s still pushing to get the best out of me, and I’m willing to keep working for it because that’s what I want as well.”

Haley said he has avoided talking about the Kansas City situation with his players.

“To me, it’s about the game,” Haley said. “I’ve been preaching to these players every day about staying in your routine, doing the things that got us here. I have to follow that, too. So I’ve really blocked everything out.

“This is what I’ve sacrificed my life for and sacrificed so much time with my wife and five kids to get to this game. It’s a lifelong dream, and I’m enjoying and getting the most out of every minute.”

That would suck

Frazier in the mix?
January 27th, 2009 – 2:39 PM by Judd Zulgad
Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier has been mentioned in various reports as being a potential candidate for the Kansas City Chiefs head coaching job. However, at this point the Chiefs are not believed to have made contact with Frazier, who was a candidate for since-filled head coaching positions in Denver, Detroit and St. Louis this offseason. There are many who think the Chiefs are interested in hiring Arizona offensive coordinator Todd Haley, whose team will face Pittsburgh on Sunday in the Super Bowl.

booger · 01-28-2009, 04:36 PM

just a shot in the dark

Haley
Carthon
LB Coach Bill Davis ( major longshot, but maybe for DC ) All from the Cards.

Pepper Johnson DL coach Pats
Romeo Crennel, Though rumors were before he was fired that he may just retire because of a hip replacment that is needed. When Mangina came aboard he seemed open to staying in some role. I could see DC or ASST. HC/Dline coach if we go with a first timer as well if he doesn't want a DC job.

Todd Bowles asst. hc/db's Phins

Jeff Davidson OC Panthers

I'm still hoping we take a long look at Ron Rivera

2) He's no-nonsense. He's intense, he's not laid back. He's not Gunther Cunningham with his fake-fire BS. When a talent like Larry Fitzgerald says Haley has pushed him further than anyone in his career, that's great praise. He stood up to T.O. I'm fine with all that. I think pro athletes have a bigger than the game attitude anymore, and Haley can serve as a reality check.

3) He's been around great football minds. Parcells wanted to hire him in Miami, his Dad was apart of the Steelers teams that were unstoppable. I think that goes a long way.

Coordinator wise...

I'd love to see him hire Sean McDermott from the Eagles as his DC (although I think Brian Stewart will get consideration). Offensively, no way on Gailey. I honestly wouldn't be shocked to see him bring in someone like Mike Martz, but he's not my first choice.

fair enough i guess

he's intense and has been around good football people

but seems like to me making a good offense out of Warner,Fitz,Bolding,James,Hightower and a passable offense line should be mandatory for a decent offense coordinator not a "plus"

i got nothing against Haley but just don't have much FOR him either.

i just dunno

I have serious doubts if Chucky gets another HC job
more and more players say they don't care for the SOB

NFL | S. Rice has strong opinions about Gruden
Wed, 28 Jan 2009 12:43:06 -0800

Pat Yasinskas, of ESPN.com, reports former Tampa Bay Buccaneers DT Simeon Rice said during a radio interview that former Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden deserved to be fired because of the way he treated the players. Rice mentioned how badly Gruden treated former Buccaneers QBs Chris Simms and Brad Johnson and WRs Keenan McCardell, Keyshawn Johnson and Joey Galloway during his tenure. Rice continued to comment negatively about Gruden even going so far as to call him a scumbag. "How I feel personally? I could tell you that, too. I think he's a scumbag. I think he's a scumbag personally. That's when he's telling you one thing and ... You know what he told me? 'Simeon you'll be here in the next five years.' I got injured [and] this man's never said one word to me. I won a Super Bowl for you. I got 13 sacks, 12, 15 every year for you. I balled. I got injured [and] you let me go like it was nothing," Rice said.

Mr. Laz · 01-28-2009, 05:20 PM

btw why would Haley keep Chan Gailey around anyway?

a young veteran offensive head coach with a veteran,veteran offensive coordinator who is not gonna want Haley to call the plays or anything.

i would think he would pick a young offensive coordinator and they would both run the offense together and then go pick a really veteran defensive coordinator who could handle the defense more or less on his own for the first year until Haley gets settled.

Warren Sapp said he is excellent at some things and not so good at others. He also said they wouldn't have won the Super Bowl if it weren't for him. Also said if he goes to the right situation he could succeed again. Sapp seems to think Gruden is a good coach.

Chucky will sit on his ass until Weiss gets fired and get his dream job at ND. With the way players seem to get sick of him maybe the college route i the way to go.
