So basically your strategy is for the Chiefs to essentially not compete until they can get a proven coach?

What if they hire Gailey and the Chiefs go 9-7 next year. Under your plan, you would favor the Chiefs firing Gailey and hiring Cowher or Shanahan?

Is your plan advocating essentially naming Gailing as an interim head coach until they can hire a head coach like Cowher?

Do you realize how brain-dead your idea looks?

Seriously :shake:

I think if you hire Gailey as head coach and hire a good defensive coordinator that the chances of success would be better than hiring Haley. Haley has only been calling plays for a year if Larry Fitzgerald wasn't catching everything thrown to him, Haley wouldn't have even been mentioned. The bonus is that if Gailey is not successful that you haven't invested as much in him and hopefully you could move to a more qualified head coach sooner, maybe even promote the d coordinator that you hired to complement Gailey to head coach.

The point of this post was not that Gailey is the guy, but that Haley is weak coaching candidate from a historical perspective. I don't think Gailey is a great head coaching candidate, but I do think he did something with nothing. He made an offense that was one of the worst I have ever seen into something that was decent.

With Haley, no one on this board would think he is great if not for some great plays by Whisenhunt's players. Does Larry Fitz catching a ball over two defenders make him a better coach???? Did he pick Larry Fitz in the draft??? If not, then what makes Haley such a great coach that we should commit to him long term?? The cards would have been out of the playoffs without Larry F. making those plays and no one would know who Haley is.

Also another negative for Haley is that one of the teams weakest point is on the front seven defensively. What expertise does he bring to the team that can solve those problems?

Whether or not Haley will be a good coach has nothing to do with it.

Hiring a coach that you think of as an interim coach to start a new regime is about the stupiest ****ing idea ever.

I didn't say that I wanted to hire an interim head coach. I said that I believe that Gailey has a better chance of being successful with a good d coordinator than Haley does. I don't Haley has done enough to deserve a shot at being head coach yet. I do think that it is added bonus that if Gailey is not successful that the Chiefs will likely cut him loose and not stick with a bad coach because you are financially invested in him and his staff.

Please start making some ****ing sense. Haley would hire a defensive coach to handle the front seven deficiencies.

The Patriots wouldn't have won 3 Super Bowls without Tom Brady. What's your ****ing point? Haley's job was the put players in position to make plays. He did that. The Cardinals offense was pretty awesome most of the year.

You are going round and round in circles.

I knew who Todd Haley was before he was the Cardinals coordinator. I pay attention to the NFL - it's a shame you obviously don't.

yes you pay attention to the nfl.... oh...... that's right. you thought he had been calling the plays for two years.... you need to calm down buddy. Haley is getting too much credit for his players making big plays. He's only been calling plays for a year. and they went 9-7 in the regular season with a weak schedule..... so why do you think he will be a great coach? please convince me if i'm wrong. i would like to have more optimism than i do about him if he ends up coaching the chiefs.
