Chiefs Todd Haley: What do we know? - Page 4

Please feel free to delete if this is a repost or move if it is in the wrong area...

I am of the opinion that Todd Haley is going to be KC's next Head Coach. Pioli has kept everything close to the vest, but seems to be waiting for the Super Bowl to be over to ink Haley. But what does this mean? What are his credentials? Is he just a hot new name brought on by very recent Cardinal success? Or is he a young up and coming Head Coach?

I listened to his Dad (Dick Haley ~ Former Steelers Director of Player Personnel) talk about his son today on ESPN radio. He said that Todd's biggest strength is that he can read people. That he can evaluate and know the difference between a hard working player, a guy that loves the game, a guy that plays with passion, and the difference between guy who plays for money. He also said that Todd is an extremely hard worker, and that his years working with Bill Parcells and Dick Jauron have given him the necessary foundation to be a good Head Coach in the NFL. This is yet to be determined.

Here is what we know of Todd Haley...

Todd Haley (born February 28, 1967 in Atlanta, Georgia) is the current offensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals of the NFL. Prior to his tenure with the Cardinals, Haley was the wide receivers coach for the New York Jets, Chicago Bears, and Dallas Cowboys.
Haley attended Upper St. Clair High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and graduated from University of North Florida in 1991. He is the son of Dick Haley, the former Director of player personnel for the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets. Todd was a ball boy for the Steelers in his youth. In January 2009 rumors circulated about Haley's potential hire as head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Are you on the Haley bandwagon? It seems that some of the veteran's like Waters and Gonzalez want a more veteran/proven coach. Both Gonzo and Waters seem to think you need a proven winner to gain the respect of all the young guys in the locker room. Some seem to think that a young coach may mesh well with a young locker room like Mike Tomlin has with the Steelers organization. All I know is that Haley may be a bright, hard working young mind, but his experience is very light for a job this big!

Thoughts...

Our biggest problem is defense, i dont care what Haley can do with our Offense, but we need to fix our defense very quick, letting Gun go was a giant step in the right direction.

And?

If you honestly think that Todd Haley will be successful here, just because he was successful for ONE YEAR with a potential HOF QB and two of the best WR's in the NFL...

It amazes me the people slobbering all over this guy. Most of you didn't even know his ****ing name until after he and Boldin got into it on the sideline in the championship game.

(Apologies to those of you who mentioned him as a candidate BEFORE the playoffs started. All NONE of you.)

But he didn't take boldins crap............

This guy would've been a nobody candidate if the Cards didn't get this far. I think he is way overhyped.

What.....being eliminated from the playoffs? I'll respect the Dolphins when they do better next year. Until then they are a fluke.

I understand where you are coming from. I have my doubts about him. But if Carl were behind it, I would be concerned, however; since Pioli is eying him (that's what every assumes) then I think that Mr. P sees something in him and part of wanting Pioli to be our GM is the fact that he is good at locating potential greats.

**** man i NEVER once said anything good about haley did i?? nope just was reading this thread and responded to someone's take that we didnt have the talent to go out there and throw the ball every play. i stated that we did that very thing this year. how does that make me in the boat of "slobbering all over this guy"??

DrRyan · 01-27-2009, 04:57 PM

I would like Russ Grimm and his experience over Haley. Haley has got the AZ offense playing very well lately, but what has pushed this team to the Super Bowl was their defense creating turnovers(not that that was Russ Grimm's doing). +9 in the turnover dept. is going to be a tough team to beat if they can continue.

Yeah, setting up for a short window of opportunity would totally be ideal.

I'm fully expect a WTF hire.

As in the fanbase going, "WTF was that?"

Haley's name has been brought up for 3 reasons:

1) His connection to Parcells.

2) The Cardinals playoff run.

3) The Chiefs have waited, therefore they must be interested in a coach from Pittsburgh/Arizona.

He had been mentioned as a possible Head Coaching candidate before this year. There has been some buzz around him for a little while now. However, I'm not sure what he has proven. I honestly think Haley would be better off running the Cards offense for another season or two before venturing out...

Everyone wants to get the young, energetic coach. Pioli can't afford to whiff on this one.

Not in Kansas City...

And I agree with your point on him staying in Arizona.
