Haley, Harbaugh shrug off post-game disagreement
By ADAM TEICHER
The Kansas City Star

For at least the second occasion in his brief time with the Chiefs, Todd Haley got into a post-game disagreement with the opposing head coach.

It happened this time after Friday night’s 31-13 preseason loss to the Ravens in Baltimore. Haley and his Baltimore counterpart, John Harbaugh, appeared to have some cross words during their brief post-game meeting on the field.

The Ravens had a favorable result safely tucked away when they got the ball back leading 24-13 with 1:18 remaining. Rather than have their quarterback kneel after the snap a couple of times, Harbaugh had the Ravens attacking.

Quarterback Hunter Cantwell threw a 38-yard pass on the Ravens’ first play of the drive and Baltimore later called timeout to set up a one-yard touchdown run by Anthony Allen with five seconds left in the game.

“I want to apologize to the Chiefs if they feel we were not doing the right thing at the end of the game,’’ Harbaugh said in his post-game remarks. “If this had been the regular season, we would have been on a knee. The idea in this situation is to give the young guys who work hard and who are trying to make the football team, this football team or another football team, to play the whole 60 minutes and give them a chance to show what they can do . ..I know that’s debatable. I know there are points of view both ways.

“I think (Haley) said something like, ‘I don’t know about that’ and I understood that. I just said, ‘Preseason, preseason for the young guys.’ And he said, ‘OK.’ ’’

For his part, Haley tried to downplay any clash with Harbaugh.

“I just control what we do,’’ Haley said shortly after game’s end. “There are probably guys out on the field that may have had limited opportunity. Coaches get very limited opportunity to evaluate (players) so their coach has to do what he has to do to get his team ready just like I’m trying to do what we have to do to get ours ready.’’

Haley had angry words and gestures for Denver coach Josh McDaniels after the Broncos routed the Chiefs last year.

Here is what happened. After last years McDaniels incident, everyone now looks for any reason Haley might not be happy with an opposing coach and then watches to see if their "midfield handshake meeting" is anything other than 100% basic and normal. If it's not, there's a story. Give me a break.

I had to laugh at him turning the losing culture around here. The first year the dude was 4-12 and then against the pillow soft schedule we had last year we were 10-6 with a blitchslapping in the playoffs. Way to turn that losing culture around Todd!

Hated the hire when they brought him in and still do.

*Simon says* you are NOT going to Hollywood.

That "losing culture" is centered squarely between your ears whether you'd like to admit that or not. Great place for it as there's nothing else taking up any space in there.

Name calling because I fail to share the same opinion...how original.

The story should center around why Harbaugh felt compelled to justify his decision.

Seriously. Haley did not say or do anything to indicate he was upset. We've seen angry Todd. He did not make an appearance at the handshake.

cause the "I'm more mature than you by calling you out for name calling" is more original?

I didn't see it but if this is true it is ridiculus.

This whole thing has become completely reeruned. These writers are just crying for something to talk about.

Chiefaholic · 08-21-2011, 12:54 PM

This time I have to side with Harbaugh. This gave both teams an opportunity to see how the scrubs would react in a real game situation. A stop by the Chiefs or a score by the Ravens might have given 2-3 of those guys an opportunity to continue their career in the NFL with their current or future team.

This is Chiefsplanet. Act like a ****ing moron, be called out for it.

Your opinion of Haley is completely baseless. Not to mention the fact that you share the opinion with meme.

You need to get over that Lamar did not consult you before hiring Haley.

Chill.

Lamar himself is still pissed not being consulted on the Haley hire.

The cameras were pointed at Haley after the pass that put the Ravens on the 8 yard line, and it was clear that Haley was upset.

Without any evidence to suggest that he was pissed by the fact that the Ravens didn't take a knee, game announcers suggested that to be the reason.

Myself, I assumed the reason he was pissed was that the Chiefs defense failed to execute.

As I said earlier, at the end of the game, Haley gave no indication, at all, that he was pissed at Harbaugh.

He simply shook Harbaugh's hand and started to walk away.

Harbaugh initiated any and all conversation.

This is an issue because Harbaugh, without any provocation from Haley, felt compelled to justify himself.
