Just thought it might be easier to keep track with a poll.

If he sucks, they'll can him...if not...then good hire.

It's Haley's team so I don't mind the promotion...Haley is going to call the plays.

Thats pretty much the way I see it. Everyone should have known this is the way Haley wanted it.

He is the HC, but is an OC at heart. He feels he can be HC and OC and succeed.

He deserves the chance to do it his way. Time will tell if he bit off more than he can chew.

I agree with this....

The problem I have is with the man he hired. He's 69 years old and was a below average offensive line coach AND a below average offensive coordinator.

I'd have rather seen Nick Sirianni or any number of young coaches get the gig, even under the same exact circumstances.

I hate it.

ChiefsCountry · 02-03-2011, 06:17 PM

I hate it bc Muir should have been fired from his OL job. Now we are letting him be the OC.

Hootie · 02-03-2011, 06:21 PM

why should anyone have been fired for anything this year?

88TG88 · 02-03-2011, 06:31 PM

IDK if this has been mentioned, but this is the Mike Solari experiment all over again. It wont end well.

The offensive lineman, especially Brendan Albert, have regressed since Muir was hired. Richardson, despite his ideal size and strength, has not progressed as expected. Jon Asamoah, a four year starter and rated the second best lineman in the draft, only started one game.

The receiving corp, outside of Bowe, was fairly awful. Bowe had a career year but it's not like it was "Out of the Blue". He'd been a 1,000 yard receiver with Damon Huard, Brodie Croyle and Tyler Thigpen as his QB.

The running backs were misused all year long.

With that in mind, I could have easily seen Haley dismiss Muir, Parmalee and Carthon, yet Muir was promoted.

Hootie · 02-03-2011, 06:34 PM

Nah.

Albert may just be a bust...and Richardson was a 6th round pick for crying out loud.

Asamoah is a rookie playing behind veterans (Waters, Lilja)...nothing wrong with that.

The line was inconsistent, sure...but I don't think anyone deserves to be fired after that season...especially, Dane, when you yourself predicted an 0-6 start to the season.

So yeah.

It has been mentioned, but imo the two situations couldn't be more different.

not a fan of the move though

and the Solari comparisons are garbage...

Solari was calling the plays, Muir will not.

First off, I didn't "predict" it. It was just a flip comment that YOU picked up on. As a matter of fact, I "predicted" 7-9.

Secondly, you're freakin' nuts if you don't think that Albert has regressed and that Richardson "should" be further along. Asamoah was just as efficient and successful starting and playing in place of both Waters and Lilja (as a rookie, to boot), yet he was relegated to back up status.

Further to that, I'd like you to provide examples of how the running backs weren't mishandled and which receivers outside of the enormously talented Dwayne Bowe, made strides this past year.

Albert had a solid rookie year in 2008 playing LT in an offense with which he was unfamiliar (Virginia wasn't a pistol spread).

So what gives? His regression is due to the playbook?

He's a bust.

Hootie and Sac told me so.

Who are the QBs for those teams?

Hootie · 02-03-2011, 06:43 PM

the RB ordeal was frustrating in some games...but when it came down to it...when it really mattered...who was getting the carries? Jamaal. Jamaal was our featured player in the PLAYOFF game...Jones barely saw any touches.

I have no problem keeping wear and tear off Charles while he's putting up All-Pro seasons. Thomas Jones was also pretty good for 2/3 of the season...until he totally wore down towards the end.

and who did you expect to be a good receiver other than Bowe? Tucker looked ok for a minute or two and Bowe made HUGE strides this year...so there's that.

But you guys will bitch to bitch...

Seriously...

who's the Saints offensive coordinator?

Packers (who are in the Super Bowl)?

DO IT WITHOUT GOOGLE

This promotion means diddly...Haley is the OC and the HC...the Saints won a Super Bowl with a coach like that, and the Packers are in the Super Bowl this year with a coach like that...

so keep crying over spilled milk
