Yes. Haley has admitted on multiple occasions that he looks to Mo for a lot of advice. He's praised Mo's experience and leadership. They have a very close relationship, despite the obscenities. Definitely not BS.

So....when you first got into Journalism you were perfect in how you approached writing your articles? No one came to you and told you that they were boring or disinteresting? Or that they didn't really appeal to anyone?

I'm willing to give Haley the benefit of the doubt in developing his approach to being a Head Coach. Will he make mistakes...undoubtedly! Will he sometimes look like a rookie Head Coach and other times like "he's getting a clue"?

There's a whole world of difference in being a successful Offensive/Defensive Coordinator and being a successful Head Coach...and it's telling in the number of guys who have tried and failed.

Your articles over the last few weeks left little doubt where you stood with your misplaced anger. Trying to do an "about-face" with one article seems a little disingenuous.

also, the media did not give haley an ovation... the hunt family and friends attend the home press conferences. they cheered when haley walked in. haley deserved the ovation.

Cool. Didn't know they went to the press conference, so I figured it was you guys who gave the ovation. I heard you complimented Haley. Nice touch.

I think the team played better so it's easier to be less intense.

It's a lot less difficult for me to not yell at my kids when they're quietly coloring, or snuggling with me on the couch watching football, or playing nicely with each other. The next morning, they can be drawing on the refrigerator with markers or coloring on each other's faces, or smashing speak n spell's on one another and I'm back to the attempt to control my volume and word selection.


If the Chiefs play like crap or with iffy effort at Sandy-Eggo next week, we'll be able to lip read the Trucker's bible on TV.


That said, I know sometimes a person can realize they're doing something and work on improving those things.
I realized my kids were starting to yell at each other so I decided to try to curb my volume level so they wouldn't think
it was the appropriate response. Haley was coaching like shit, taking things too far on the sidelines like always had.....I hope he had a moment of Clarity, or Come to Jesus(Carthon) meeting and the switch flipped for him.

I'd be inclined to agree with you, had the first half not been a complete abortion, save the KO return.

Haley was calm, cool and collected the entire game, not just when we were playing well.

Thank you. Someone who watched the game. Cassel was a joke until after the fumble. Haley had plenty of opportunity to meltdown.

I enjoy the temper tantrums and F-Bombs as much as any red-blooded American, but if Haley can keep it under control then I think this team will respond. Good article J, and btw dont even bother arguing with jasonauto, the dude is like one step from licking windows...

ok how can you take anything this guy writes seriously? i mean he said in THIS article that this game might have saved cassel's CAREER IN KC. does anyone actually think this year means anything when it comes to his career here?

You need to take a look at the "Haley Goes Off - A history" thread.

Of course it's nothing you probably haven't already seen. I just think it's borderline comical.

I think players need an ass chewing every so often whether it be in practice or on game day. Haley does it more than others obviously. Somewhere there has to be a medium. Being a hardass coach is one thing, but if that coach can recognize when a player works his ass off and plays well, it can pay huge dividends. Having that said there are players that can't take that kind of critizism.

I just think it will take Cassel a year to get in time with his WR's learn the offense, and everything to get in sync. Look at Trent Green with his first season here. He was TrINT Green. Give Cassel an Oline and another offseason and we could be competitive next season. Rolling on the win high wave right now, but if this team can beat the Super Bowl Champs, we can beat a number of teams as well. And as the season goes on I see this team getting better.
