Hard to say but somebody please grab the guy, shake him and tell him he's got to quit going for it on 4th down deep in his own territory.

How many times have we been burned by that?

As for his status? While I'm not the type to give up on a coach after 1 year, this year is different because of the coaches that will be available. Much like as if there were a great free agent market, if you have a chance to upgrade in talent, you'd be foolish if you were to dismiss it and not at least be open to the idea.

In general, I don't think his offensive scheme has been too bad. And I still think that Clancy Pendergast was put on the staff because of how late Haley was hired, and not because they thought he was the best available option. From that standpoint, I like Haley as a coach.

What bothers the hell out of me is that he's a disciplinarian coach for a team that completely lacks discipline and focus. I can handle if the Chiefs were a bad team getting outmatched. It's disgustingly frustrating that in over 75% of the games, we played decent football but shot ourselves in the foot at least 10 times in each of those games.

Much like as if there were a great free agent market, if you have a chance to upgrade in talent, you'd be foolish if you were to dismiss it and not at least be open to the idea.

Something else to think about following from this is that other teams are going to make their moves to go after these coaches (teams that are in more typical position-- such as Buffalo), and in doing so they are going to dump a lot of their staffs or the new coach will dump a lot of the previous staff, filling the coaching market with a ton of guys to hire as OC and DC next year.

We may have a great HC for all we know, he is a rookie after all, and trying to do too much. Maybe if we get some good coordinators in here to take a load off of him, while simultaneously building up the players we have, he will be able to succeed. We don't just lack talent on the field, it would appear we lack it on the sidelines and in the classrooms as well.

What of mine is emotional?

It certainly isn't me. And it sure does matter when a coach doesn't put his team in the best position to be successful. It was an inexcusable call that precipitated the wheels completely falling off the wagon. It was a one possession game at the time.

ROFL ROFL - This to eleventy, was in Hardee's this week and they had their own 'Hardee's News Network' on LCDs throughout the dining room, when I was there they happened to be showing 'Top 10 plays of the NFL' that week. We were on 4 of those highlights, only it was because the Chargers clowned us spectacularly on 4 different occasions that week.

The 'somewhere' this team is going to is resuscitating the stagnant 'Follies and Bloopers' wing of NFL films in a manner not seen since Tampa's inaugural season.

Who can take this cumulation of fecal matter and turn it into a gourmet meal?

I'm not suggesting Todd Haley is the solution to the proposed question, but this team is far in a deep seeded atrocity that's not directly related to head coach issues, even though that's seemingly a reoccurent problem.

We currently have an absolutely terrible defensive coordinator and absent of a legit offensive coordinator. It's senseless to enter any war without viable weapons and this is essentially what the Chiefs do every Sunday, with the exclusion of the few times we've had luck shifted on our side. For every talented player we have, there's a handful of players that are expandable.

I, for one, hope Haley is a successful head coach. Mainly due to not having the patience to go through this defecate repeatedly. Every year that I hear, "Shhh, guys. We're rebuilding. We'll be totally stacked to compete in 2-3 years," I garner the sudden urge to murder someone. With this organization, those few years quickly multiply and a conclusive result of improvement is rarely seen.

Enough of the shenanigans. Bet big or go home.

Who can take this cumulation of fecal matter and turn it into a gourmet meal?

A solid HC/GM combo.

I'm not suggesting Todd Haley is the solution to the proposed question, but this team is far in a deep seeded atrocity that's not directly related to head coach issues, even though that's seemingly a reoccurent problem.

Yes, that is the problem.

The QB is NOT elevating the play of the offense.

The HC (turned OC) is not elevating the play of the offense.

The HC is not taking what was given and inspiring them to play BETTER.

I asked this question weeks ago and got no response.

What area of this team is better right now than it was a year ago?

In fact, looking at our key players, who has improved?

Bowe-Regressed
Albert-Regressed
Cassel-Regressed
LJ-Regressed
DJ-Regressed

Dorsey and Hali are better than they were last year for sure, but they both changed positions. Are they being coached up, or are they just in better positions for their skillsets?

Carr and Flowers are pretty much the same as they were last year, so no real regression or progress there. Leggett was much worse this year.

Where is the improvement? Part of the HC's job is getting the most out of his players. Who on the roster do you feel like Haley is getting the most out of? It certainly isn't Cassel, Bowe, DJ, or Albert.

Maybe he just needs to yell a little more or undress more players on the sidelines. I'm sure Bobby Wade didn't want to catch the ball today for the touchdown. He really needed to be undressed in front of all of his teammates. Anyone watch the Jets game last Thursday? Braylon drops a wide open 84 yard TD off his fucking facemask. Sanchez runs down field to tell him to forget about it, and Ryan offers support when he comes off the field. Later in that game, Braylon makes a ridiculously athletic play and dives in for a TD. Meanwhile, we end up with a receiver today who plays tight, and drops several more balls the rest of the game. Wade has never really had drop problems. Amazing what a lack of confidence does to you.

Just ask our QB... Didn't seem to have any problem stretching the field last year in NE. Of course, he had a guy in Belichick who was 100% behind him publicly from the minute the best QB in the league went down. And he had a OC who was instilling confidence in him. If you people don't think that is important, I would guess you have never played the game, or dealt with athletes. Mind games and confidence are every bit as important as X's and O's.

He did have a problem with the deep ball last year but he was doing a great job at what he was asked to do.

He was a caretaker for a multiple SB winning team/HC/GM.

We traded for Frank Reich or Scott Mitchell and we're throwing a fit because there's no Andre Reed or Herman Moore for him to lean on...

Maybe we should first criticize allowing Herm's 3-year reign before condemning Haley. You can't rebuild an entire franchise in one season, friends.

Herman fucking Edwards failures have, in no way, affected Todd Haley's in game decision making.

Haley seems to be getting dumber by the week.

Yeah, he had some consistency issues on the deep ball, but he most definitely connected on some. My point was though, that he had no problem taking chances down field like we are seeing this year. He looks very timid and tight to me. Of course, like I have said before, when your coach does nothing but scream at you, roll his eyes, and act like an asshole all the time, you're going to tend to play tight and lack confidence. I realize these guys are professional athletes and should be able to handle criticism, etc., but who is responding well to Haley's coaching style? I guess it's easier to just say that everyone on the team is a pussy.

4th and 8 on our 28. You go for it with a fake punt with Croyle?

I don't know. I don't get rid of him after one season. He's certainly setting the bar pretty low for measured improvement for next year.

It is simply baffling. I do not know what he was thinking. I would not even do that in Madden
