Anthony (New York City, NY)
Any news on the OC for the Chiefs? The earlier the better as the progression of Cassel & the Chiefs' 2011 draft might be different until an OC is hired??!!

Adam Schefter (2:46 PM)
Anthony: No matter who the Chiefs hire as their OC, it still sounds like Todd Haley will call the plays. I've gotten a lot of questions about the Chiefs OC, but it's really one of the more insignificant hires that will be made. The Chiefs offense will have Haley's imprint all over it.

Eh I don't have a problem with Todd calling plays. The offense will be fine.

I think our offensive problems back in his first year had more to do with LJ averaging 2.5 YPC more so than his play calls.

Offense got a lot better when Jamaal took over.

Fine. Call the plays. I have no issue with that. However, he still needs an OC.

First year with Todd in control of offense and a poor DC = complete mess.

2nd year with good OC and DC = team overachieves.

I know which option I prefer.

As long as there is someone to help coach up the offense. I don't see a problem.

Great. Now we're not gonna have an OC.

Charles will get hurt, Cassel will regress, bowe will start dropping again. our offense will crumble.

Larry Johnson? It was the coach's decision for 2.7 to play. LJ wasn't the one who told the coaches to make Charles inactive.

If Haley calls plays, he needs to have a strong right-hand man who will help him manage gameday decisions, like managing the clock, handling strategic decisions based on down and distance, etc.

I called this from the beggining, Haley is a perfectly fine OC as long as he has some talent around to call plays for.

If there is a dropoff in offensive performance I dont think it will be Haleys faul. It will more likely be the schedule were are getting next year.

ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter had a live chat today with readers and one of the questions he got was about the progress of the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive coordinator search.
Here is what Shefty had to say:

Anthony: No matter who the Chiefs hire as their OC, it still sounds like Todd Haley will call the plays. I’ve gotten a lot of questions about the Chiefs OC, but it’s really one of the more insignificant hires that will be made. The Chiefs offense will have Haley’s imprint all over it.
It sounds like Schefter is hearing that Haley plans to call the plays. Before you all start freaking out, hear me out after the jump.
Even if Haley does call the plays next season, don’t expect a repeat of the offenses 2009 performance. As long as the Chiefs actually hire a coordinator I think everything will be fine.
There is a big difference between Haley being the offensive coordinator and Haley simply calling the plays on game day. Part of the problem in 2009 was that Haley was stretched too thin, running around trying to be present in all the offensive meetings while also handling his head coaching duties. In 2011, Haley will likely have a coordinator who will be able to be present for all that stuff for him. The coach will work with the coordinator to put together the game plan and on game day, he’ll make the calls from the sideline.
As long as a coordinator is present, I am alright with Haley calling the plays. The Chiefs have now been working with his playbook for 2 years so the learning curve will only apply to new players and rookies. Haley proved himself to be a talented play caller in Arizona so I have no reason to believe he can’t do it again in KC.
As for his 2009 campaign calling plays, I think the problem had more to do with the players learning the system and not yet being able to execute it than it did with Haley’s choice of plays. As long as the Chiefs have the players that can execute Haley’s plays, the offense should succeed.
Now if you don’t think Haley is a good play caller, that is another story. However, if you are only worried that he can’t handle the load of head coach and play caller, try to take solace in that if there is a coordinator present, Haley should be able to manage the duties.
For now, Schefter isn’t offering up any proof so we have to take his words as speculation at this point. For now, we’ll just have to wait and see what the Chiefs decide to do.

Pretty certain it doesn't fall under patent infringement.

At least not according to the vague memories I have from my pre-law classes from <font size="-2">entirely too long ago</font>. However, the copyright/plagiarism issue is something I've had to get familiar with working on a Science Fiction/Fantasy Writers of America committee as well as the time I spent in my misbegotten youth as a journalist.

(2:46 PM)
Anthony: No matter who the Chiefs hire as their OC, it still sounds like Todd Haley will call the plays. I’ve gotten a lot of questions about the Chiefs OC, but it’s really one of the more insignificant hires that will be made. The Chiefs offense will have Haley’s imprint all over it.
It sounds like Schefter is hearing that Haley plans to call the plays. Before you all start freaking out, hear me out after the jump.
Even if Haley does call the plays next season, don’t expect a repeat of the offenses 2009 performance. As long as the Chiefs actually hire a coordinator I think everything will be fine.
There is a big difference between Haley being the offensive coordinator and Haley simply calling the plays on game day. Part of the problem in 2009 was that Haley was stretched too thin, running around trying to be present in all the offensive meetings while also handling his head coaching duties. In 2011, Haley will likely have a coordinator who will be able to be present for all that stuff for him. The coach will work with the coordinator to put together the game plan and on game day, he’ll make the calls from the sideline.
As long as a coordinator is present, I am alright with Haley calling the plays. The Chiefs have now been working with his playbook for 2 years so the learning curve will only apply to new players and rookies. Haley proved himself to be a talented play caller in Arizona so I have no reason to believe he can’t do it again in KC.
As for his 2009 campaign calling plays, I think the problem had more to do with the players learning the system and not yet being able to execute it than it did with Haley’s choice of plays. As long as the Chiefs have the players that can execute Haley’s plays, the offense should succeed.
Now if you don’t think Haley is a good play caller, that is another story. However, if you are only worried that he can’t handle the load of head coach and play caller, try to take solace in that if there is a coordinator present, Haley should be able to manage the duties.
For now, Schefter isn’t offering up any proof so we have to take his words as speculation at this point. For now, we’ll just have to wait and see what the Chiefs decide to do.

If Haley calls plays, he needs to have a strong right-hand man who will help him manage gameday decisions, like managing the clock, handling strategic decisions based on down and distance, etc.

This situation could work if the following is in place:

1. An OC who is good at developing the QB and integral in helping Haley put the plan together.

2. Haley works to train an in house guy to be able to take over next year or even sometime later this year (once he's comfortable).

Ok, different level, but I'm going to give this example:

When I think of a HC calling plays, I can't help but picture Mike Gundy a couple of years ago playing at Mizzou, when OSU piss pounded a favored Mizzou in Columbia.

When the offense was off the field, Gundy was off by himself, sitting on a ****ing tarp-like thing, drawing up and planning for the next offensive series. The game was being managed by someone else, because Gundy wasn't even glancing at what was happening.

It might not take this level of depth, but I'm convinced that one cannot effectively call plays and manage the game as a whole on game days. It's an either/or thing.

what makes it even worse is that Haley doesn't even know how to be a head coach and manage the game yet. He's now going to be learning even more shit all at once.

It's speculation, but going with it for the moment, my thought is that he has a variety of experiences to lean on from the last two years, both with an OC and without. So I think he'd be fine calling plays, theoretically, if there's an actual OC on board to handle everything during the week. He's past the point of being a new HC learning the ropes.

..and In 1 1/2 Seasons they were in the SB....and in two years as HC, he took a 2-14 team to 10-6 and a Division title, and he's not accomplished?..if not, that's a hell of a good start.

I may be the only one, but I am actually a bit excited to see Haley calling plays if thats what it ends up as. I just hope we bring in an accomplished QB coach to work with Cassel because IMO that is the most important aspect of this offseason. Charlie Weis left a huge, massive gap in the coaching area of this team and more specifically qb coach.

Haley is a good playcaller, I just think most remember him calling the plays for a team that was installing a new offense week to week, with little talent with a very young roster across the board.

Oh yeah and that 52 yard run was sweet, too. On the first drive, we started play action with a bomb from Cassel to Terrance Copper, followed by passes to Pope and Bowe and the 1 yard run by Cox.

Just when we were shouting that Charles needed more carries, he darted through the hole on the left side, darted in, darted out, and accelerated faster than I've ever seen an NFL RB accelerate in my life.

And then we polished that turd out of the back of the playbook.

Although I believe Cassel did a fine job defending the play. LMAO

Edit: The other mistake Haley made was not challenging that INT. Looked like he dropped it. Then again, the replay system in Denver tends to break down from time to time.
