Though former Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis is regarded by many (us included) as a candidate to become the offensive coordinator of the Chiefs, a league source tells us that such a move isn't likely.

As the source explains it, there's some "disdain" between Weis and Chiefs G.M. Scott Pioli.

It flows, the source says, from their mutual time in New England.

"Both wanted to be [coach Bill] Belichick's favorite," the source said.

Meanwhile, coach Todd Haley insisted on Monday that the Chiefs are not one of the teams that has contacted Weis.

"I can say with clear conscience there's been no contact," Haley said, per the Associated Press. "The focus in this building is putting this team in the best possible position to succeed each day and each week and that's where the focus is. As far as staff goes, that would be something I would have -- that would be a decision I would have to make."

Haley also said, however, that he'd eventually like to hand off the play-calling function to someone else.

"I believe in my heart of hearts that's the way to be the most efficient," Haley said. "It's fun calling plays. There's no doubt about that. I've also said my job is to be the head coach of the team and if and when that's possible, I would think that, in my opinion, is the best way to run the operation."

Pioli isn't the only member of the team who has a history with Weis.

"I shared an 8-by-8 office with Charlie for three years in New York," Haley said. "I know Charlie about as up-close-and-personal as you could know him."

We wonder how many of their meetings began with Weis asking Haley, "Is this your coat?"

Yeah, it never gets old. At least not for us.

Haha.

"They both wanted to be Bill's favorites"

What is this the National Inquirer.

Fact is, I guarantee the Chiefs go after him this off-season. Whether he comes here is a different story.

I suspect there's a joke there, but it must be a pretty stupid one.

Did Whitlock just come off of Survivor Island when that picture was taken?

Good lord, he looks about 800 pounds lighter.

I think that tends to happen when you're putting Lombardi trophies in every cubicle as hat racks.

I'd like to see them consider bringing him in now as an Offensive Consultant for the rest of the year and see what happens. Haley still gets game day play calling, but has help breaking down other teams and correcting problem areas....and scouting for next season.

Pretty much anytime PFT quotes a leage source that acts like they know what went on behind closed doors in New England, it's that fat little Belichick jock-sniffer Mike Lombardi. He of the "Cassel signed a long-term deal on draft day" story, among others.

Brian Waters is a Pioli favorite. He's a "great leader".

So, I guess this means the RBS( Regime Ballwashing Society )is just going to have to shut the fuck up and accept Mr. Waters, wrinkles and all.

This isn't MY mandate, this comes straight from the lips of your Lord and Master:

Pure disinformation from the Pioli black ops group. I bet they're stenciling in Weis' parking spot at Arrowhead right now. ;) Next: New QB Coach/Miracle Worker and a new DC.

If Dictator Carl was able to swallow his ego and allow Vermeil to bring back Al Saunders to KC (and we all know it is no secret that Carl and Al Saunders weren't exactly close), Pioli should do the same with Weis... if Haley wants to hire him as offensive coordinator.

It's not official until it comes from Collinsworth's lips. He called Haley as coach about two or three weeks before the Super Bowl last year.

Well, there's no word of Weis having a tumor on his spine: so we know the source isn't Jack Harry. :)

There are advantages to bringing him in now. That would get him acclimated, generate some continuity and prevent the risk of losing him to someone else. Then again, they might benefit from 'playing the field' in the off-season, depending on who's available. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Charley is probably going to spend the next few weeks on a vacation. Then he will start to look for work. I would not want him if he didnt take a few weeks off to think.

I would think he would want to work next season and since he's been out of the pro's for a few years, he might be more inclined to watch every NFL game multiple times as well as much college ball as possible to get an idea of who his future team should value.

I think he will get his pick of jobs and with good reason. He did fail in N.D. but that is a tuff gig for anyone. The Chiefs have a good chance if they want him butt he will go to a good situation that he feels comfortable with. He could really take a load off of Haily!

Sounds like BS to me. "Both wanted to be [coach Bill] Belichick's favorite,". Yeah fucking right. These are grown ass men, not children. I highly doubt that charecters like Pioli and Wies are looking for daddy's approval.

Even though i want wies to coach for us, i think it's improbable. I can't imagine weis working under his old receivers coach. Too much ego involved.
