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....

He thinks Crennel only got the Job cause Pioli wanted the Power and Crennel doesn't have the power to pull Cassel out of a game.

It is unfathomable that Cassel hasn't been pulled the last few games. Reporters have repeatedly asked Romeo if he ever considered pulling Cassel, and Romeo has repeatedly stated "no." Someone needs to ask Romeo the obvious follow-up question, "if you didn't consider pulling your quarterback in the last few games, under what circumstances would you consider pulling your quarterback? Cassel has more than thirteen turnovers to just four touchdowns- just how abysmal does Cassel have to be for you to pull him?"

I wonder what the fear is in pulling Cassel?
That it's an indirect admission of a mistake?
Pioli isn't above making a mistake.
Neither is any other GM.

Admit you were wrong about Cassel and move on.
Guess what? If his replacement plays well...you'll get credit for it.
That's the job.

He has to be hurt.

I know right. If Brady does actually look decent. Pioli will get credit for the signing. I just don't understand. Has there ever been a situation where an organization so blindly stuck with a QB?

Its been obvious for awhile now. Crennel is a "yes man" who wont rock the boat.

Its why alot of us were against him being hired as HC.

Hes an OK DC, and a fine guy, but hes in over his head as a HC. heck, we already had 4 years of evidence of it.

uncle romeo's boat is full of suck-up and shut-up .....

I'm sure there has been, but I'd also guess that QB was drafted HIGH by that organization. Refusing to part with a poorly-performing player acquired in a trade makes ZERO sense. Even when considering the contract.

I think some coaches/GMs get caught up in the guys potential and have a blind eye to a players negatives. Cassel looks like, and sometimes plays like, a good NFL QB but he doesn't do it on a consistant basis. Coaches and GMs think that if they stay with the player, or get the player more talent araound them, that the player will somehow be the player that he is on the good occasions more often than not. Cassel has shown that he is an inconsistant player all of the time. It is past time for the GM to realize this and move on.

Goes the other way too. I think sometimes a coach or a GM overlooks a guy with talent over the few things they don't like about the guy.

I honestly wonder how many careers have been derailed because a coach didn't believe in a guy.
Who might have otherwise been able to show something.

I think a lot of Planeteers and Chiefs fans in general are still sipping the left-over Kool Aid that's been sitting in the back of the fridge for 3 years.

Roleo doesn't give a tinker's damn about winning. He doesn't give a damn about the Chiefs and he doesn't give a damn about the fans. He's here to wrap up the twilight of a career and support his old buddy, Dr. Evil.

People talk about his laid-back personality, but he hasn't always been that way and he doesn't have to be that way now. The fact of the matter is that the fire in old Roleo burned out some time ago.

Meanwhile, Piolio is sticking it to the fans whenever he can. He views us as a bunch of redneck, tractor riders who wouldn't know which fork to use at a dinner party. He's an elitist megalomaniac and we are the fly-over-state dumbasses who are supposed to snap up tickets for an 8 and 8 team and, when they don't, they need to #getaclue.

We're caught up in a perfect storm of absentee, mainly emotionally-detached owner, narcissistic GM, and indifferent head coach. At this point, caring about this team is, as Mr. Iowanian would say, akin to sending love letters to your bad girlfriend.

Cassel is a symptom. Not the disease. And that, my friends, is the sad, horrifying truth of it all.

I totally agree with this also. I think there are a lot of players that don't get much of a chance to make a team because they don't fit some of the measurables the coach wants in his players ( long arms, 4.3 speed, etc...).
