Only a year or so ago, people were up in arms because Haley had "lost" the team due to his hard-ass ways. Let's see ... oh, yeah ... DJ was going to leave the team and maybe the game, Charles didn't want to play for Haley, neither did Bowe, Pioli and Haley weren't seeing eye-to-eye, etc., etc. See a pattern, here? FAX |

One year later, Haley & Weis weren't getting along. Weis wanted out of his contract to coach elsewhere in the NFL, Pioli wouldn't allow it so Weis went to the University of Florida, where he'll stay until his contract with the Chiefs expires. I'm not claiming that Todd Haley is an insufferable jerk but it's quite clear that he has problems with other offensive minds and opinions. |

28.
I looked it up. And while doing so, I was reminded of the most comical play of the Matt Cassel era: Two plays before the punt, Cassel wings a ball OOB, with no WR in the area. Flag on the play. Wait, the officials are conferencing. Referee picks up the flag, opens his mic and says: "There is no intentional grounding on the play, as the QB was not under pressure. ![]() |

But you raise an even better point. Let's say, for the sake of gentlemanly argument, that Haley is, in fact, an insufferable jerk. So what? Some of the greatest NFL HCs in the history of the universe were hard-ass mofos with zero tolerance for mistakes and total belief in themselves and the value of hard work. While guys like Whitlock and Wright and Fescue (or whatever his name is) wring their hands and rend their clothing and cry out with horror and anguish that Haley is a big meanie, we just won 10 games, the division, and got ourselves a home playoff game in the bargain. Looking at this, more or less, big-picture-wise, I would gladly trade 1000 behind-the-scene Haley rants (assuming they occur), 25 run-off OCs, and 12 draft picks for 1 Lombardi. FAX |

People change. Working successfully with someone 15 years ago at a lower pay grade and responsibilities and suddenly reuniting doesn't insure success. I have no doubt that both men went into it with an open mind and with the idea of succeeding, but it didn't work out. I'm not surprised that Haley left but I also do not believe that Weis left because Haley is an insufferable jerk. I think they've both grown and changed as people and at this point in time, they don't need each other to succeed. |

I really can't believe we're still talking about coaching.
I rarely bitch about Haley because Pioli's job isn't done yet. When Pioli has built one of the best rosters in the NFL, then I'll start to look at coaching shortcomings. As of right now, the only reason we made the playoffs was because Haley and staff coached up Carl Peterson's leftovers. They did a wonderful job. But they lack playmakers...and it's Pioli's job to provide them.

Unfortunately, we won't know how this story really ends until the end of the 2011 season. If the Chiefs are successful next season offensively and the new offensive coordinator is retained for 2012, we'll have a much better idea of what happened at the end of the 2010 season. If the opposite is true, then yikes. This forum will implode upon itself. |

Get Romeo Crennel a rusher opposite of Tamba and a NT and see what he can do.
The guy is a fantastic coach.

I would like to encourage all those who think Haley is seriously considering not replacing Weis with another OC to actually listen to the presser (I finally had time to do so). It's on the Chiefs site and the question occurs at minute 26.
