Fescoe: Haley took playcalling away from Weis in 2nd Half

[FAX]

To me, this is more of that same old, "Did you hear what ____ said? Oh, my God! We're going to die!!!" stuff that seems to occasionally dominate conversation around here.

The season ended two days ago. Haley is asked a question about OC and he provides a vague answer, "Oh, my God!! We're screwed!!!". Perhaps it would be wise to give Haley and Pioli another couple of days to consider their plan moving forward regarding staff needs before the bridge gets too crowded and Home Depot runs out of rope. Personally, I'm not too worried about the OC position. They know we need a more consistent, productive offense.

Meanwhile, what I'm mainly concerned about is that we need a nose tackle and some magic dust to sprinkle on Cassel's balls.

Panic now and avoid the rush.

I don't think this is fair, Mr. FAX.

Haley said, directly, the he'll consider calling plays in '11. People are going to react. It's not like we're getting this information second-hand from the local pizza joint.

He said it in an "all options are on the table" manner. It was a non-answer answer.

Fine. Maybe this is part of the bullshit mantra of everything needing to be super secret at 1 Arrowhead, lest the communists learn that we're trying to win football games.

Some questions, however, can get a direct answer.

The question about the OC, IMO, is the same as asking Haley, "Are you dumb as ****?"

Haley's response, "Well, we're going to evaluate this thing and try to reach a conclusion."

Since I have appointed myself as a board advocate for Haley, here we go, my friend.

Unfair? Pffft. It's no more unfair than doing a Whitlock (cherry-picking one vague comment out of an entire 30 minute presser) and jumping on Haley with both feet over the OC question less than two full days after season's end. To wit;

In the presser, Haley notes and thanks the strength coach, nutrition specialists, and trainers for their hard work during the year. (Odd thing for a crazy egomaniac to say.) He states (without prompting) that the entire organization is and will undergo a full review and eval. This evaluation will include players, coaches ... and ... wait for it ... himself as head coach. (Dang. Could that be right? Haley's a moron! He wants to evaluate his own moronic performance? Why would he want to do that?). He says their goal is nothing less than to become a championship team and that it will happen sooner, rather than later. (Note that he didn't say his goal was to dominate discussions, control the offense, alienate coaches, and make a complete ass out of himself on the sideline.) He mentions that he's proud of what the team accomplished this year because not a lot of people outside the building (other than some of the fans) believed they could make it to double-digit wins and a playoff appearance. Then he says ... and this is kind cool, I think ... that they have to, and will, do a better job next time ... including himself.

On and on and on.

In other words, there were tons of comments made in that presser that were encouraging and thoughtful and forthright and honest. It isn't all about the OC and Haley's megalomaniacal desire to control every detail or person with whom he works.

Yeah, I was relieved that Haley didn't appear to want to be the strength and conditioning coach, too.

Progress.

Can I purchase that magic dust? Know where I can get a coupon?
