After seeing that you know he hated the position he was in. His hands were tied to say the least. I'm not disagreeing with Haley's dismissal, but any coach in the league would've gotten fired with Cassel/Palko at QB. And I really do believe he was starting Palko to say **** you to Pioli because Haley knew he was gone no matter what. Tonight's program really showed us what thought was just speculation before in a lot of areas.

That is taking a shot at Cassel dude lol

Frankly, I don't know. I don't think that was Haley. I imagine it was Pioli. I don't know that the doors were unlocked last week.

I do know that Haley controlled who played, when meetings were held, when the worked out, and how he answered questions.

I don't think that Pioli has handled everything right, but when it comes to their relationship, I believe that Haley was the one who was most responsible for the breakdown.

They are both backup caliber QBs. I'd rather have Thigpen as my backup compared to Cassel.

We would have been better off letting Pioli go. Clark moving into a
Jerry Jones type roll. To make the transition seamless he could have waived Matt Cassel. Then come up with some catchy little phrase like "just win baby". Imagine the action on this board then.

The Niners are frauds?

Is there any place I can watch this online? I missed it and would really like to see it for myself.

"Just bankroll, baby"

God, I can't believe I'm saying this but does anyone else think Todd would have been a better coach under Carl Peterson? King Carl for all his faults seem to let the coaches put their stamp on the team. I'm not saying he is a better GM at all, but I think Haley would have done better.

Marty, Gunther, Vermeil, Herm, each of their teams had the identity of the coach stamped all over it. I don't feel like this was ever a Haley stamped team. In fact the Haley reign was very schizophrenic. I still got the feeling I don't know what kind of coach Haley is and can be.

He was bluntly taking a shot at the Chiefs and passive aggressively taking a shot at Cassel. You could tell. Dude hated Cassel.

That's all speculation. They both likely had a part in it. Todd's volatility and inability to get along with his own coaches would probably suggest that he has a major issue in terms of getting along and building consensus. I see Todd as a control freak, and Pioli, while less volatile, is also a control freak. You put two control freaks together, it wont end pretty...

He had certain mannerisms that made people on here get annoyed by him.

Oddly, the defenders of Haley talk about lack of talent. Yet, Herm had even less talent. Herm took over an old team and completely tore it down and was rebuilding it.

Haley was handed a better QB than Herm had.... and a bunch of young ascending talent.

People gripe about the Chiefs not developing a young QB. Yet, Herm was moving that direction. He was trying to develop a young QB. Heck, had Herm still been here, the Chiefs might have actually drafted Sanchez.

When the Chiefs drafted Dorsey, Herm has said subsequently that he wanted to draft Matt Ryan, but that the Falcons had taken him.

Herm could be coaching right now if he wanted to. He doesn't. He likes his analyst job. Makes similar money for a lot less work.... and has incredible job security.

As far as Haley getting a head job.... I guess we will have to see.

So did PeeHoli add them or did Haley coach em?

Several members of the media have now reported that the locks came off the doors the day after Haley was fired and Romeo was introduced.

If you "imagine" that it was Pioli who ordered them locked in the first place, then what possible motive could he have for doing a complete 180 immediately after releasing Haley? He's either trying to make it look like it was Haley's fault or he got slapped by Clark and told to shape up or he's gone too.

I bet they will be a lot closer. They are currently 5-8. That projects out to 6-10.

I bet that the Chiefs will be better than 6-10 next year.

No, not really.
