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...
