Chiefs Would it be a mistake to fire Todd Haley? - Page 31

**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?

They weren't, unfortunately. They were in FG range once in the 4th but Hanie threw an EZ INT on 1st down.

There are no logical connections or pieces of evidence. Only speculation by people who are already biased against Haley and prone to imagine shit.

WTF do you think I was talking about?

If the Bears only need a FG there, Hanie isn't firing for the endzone between 4 defenders.

How many OCs have we had since Haley was hired?

Is Muir qualified for the job? Why was he hired?

It was 1st and 10 on the 13 with like 5 mins to go in the game. He wasn't forcing shit to try and score. He just made a stupid decision.

Gailey was leftover from Herm and didn't fit Haley's offensive philosophy. Weis left to take a job to be near his son. Muir was already there and knew the offense. Simple. None of that suggests Haley is hard to work for.

I haven't seen enough to comment upon Morris' coaching ability. Sorry. It would be disingenuous for me to say otherwise.
