You have no idea what you are talking about. Most of this shit you just pulled from your ass.

B_Ambuehl is a well-documented idiot. This time we're exposed to his opinion that Scott Pioli made a hire because ESPN said Haley would be a logical candidate. Forget all the history, forget knowing each other for years. Pioli obviously heard about Haley via ESPN and decided he'd appease the networks with this hire.

Who knows how Haley will do. But he has shown that he is aggressive as both a coach and thinker and his expectations for his players are always high. From what I've seen and read he's not afraid to push people to perform. Whether he can motivate this group (and the players he will have a say in drafting over the next few seasons) to give their best remains to be seen. But I think he's going to have the same high expectations for his coordinators, I think he will attack on both sides of the ball, and I think he'll accept nothing but the best from this team.

Hopefully he gets some FAs on the defensive line, is able to get Dorsey to grow as a player, and will run a scheme where the SS plays SS and the FS plays FS. ;)

nicely said.

Yep. Spit Bubble, superhero of True Fans, is most displeased with that paragraph.

No shit. **** Mike Shannahan; anyone pimping for that burnout deserves a one-way trip to the Blue Oyster Bar and a lifetime ball-gag/dog-collar combo.

The Haley/Holthus interview at KCC.com has more than satisfied any worries I may have had about Coach Haley( sounds good, yes? )being just a "hot-head".
He's a thoughtful, serious-minded football guy who will elevate the game of any player who truly listens to him and takes heed of what he's saying.

This was a great hire, and Kansas City, Romper-Room playtime is OVER.

Finally, Haley WILL take Mark Sanchez; per his own descriptive, Mark is EXACTLY what he's looking for.

FTW!*

*Usage of ORIGINAL "FTW"( **** The World ).

But that's not saying Haley wasn't a serious candidate for the job (which seemed to be your complaint). It's the writer saying HE wasn't paying attention to Haley because he didn't know who he was and he liked other potential candidates better.

Which probably describes a lot of people.

No ****ing kidding.

That guy is honestly the dumbest ****ing poster on the entire planet. I thought before it was KCJohnny, but not even Johnny is as ridiculously stupid as B_A.

Out with the old..retread, in with the new. I am excited!

What a happened to KCJohnny?

He's putting the lotion on his skin in my basement...

Just because I don't buy in to the media hype you guys shouldn't get your panties in a twist. The reality is this is the NFL, which stands for Not For Long. This is a players league and there are no coaching prodigies. Coaching is up an down - All things even out in the long run and right now Haley is up with realistically only one way to go. Seven years is absolutely ancient for an NFL coach, 3-5 years is the norm. History shows here's about an 85-90% chance the majority here will want Haley run out of town within 5 years. So, knowing that ahead of time, I would hope to acquire as much talent on the field as possible, but wouldn't look to any "suit" or headset wearer as a saviour.

THE EVOLUTION OF A COACH

1. Old coach gets fired.

2. New coach gets hired and says "we're gonna do "this" and we're gonna do "that."

3. As long as "this" and "that" is different then the old coaches "this" and "that" the fans get hyped up and say things like "I love this staff", "we're going to the superbowl baby" Rock on!" "now we have this!" Sales of season tickets pick up.

4. If he's lucky, the new coach and his team have success actually changing "this" and "that" and pick up some wins doing so.

5. Fans stay fired up. "Yeah can you believe our (offense/defense/d-line play, secondary, qb play, insert whatever you want etc.), it's so much better then it was when ____ was here!"

6. Coach has some success but with each team only having so much moeny to spend there's no possible way to optimize all the possible "this" and "thats" at the same time.

7. Fans don't realize that, they want it all now.

8. Coach says "well we're doing a good job at "this" and "that" (which is entirely different then the last coaches "this's" and "thats") but we need to improve "this" and change "this". We'll continue working towards our goals.

9. Repeat #8

10. Repeat #8 again

11. Fans get tired of #8 and know those "goals" will never be reached.

12. Season ticket sales start to decline.

13. Start over with #1, fire the coach, bring in someone new.

Reality: She's a bitch

The reerun returns.

With your ability to gloss over details and generalize; I know a non-official Chiefs publication and online jerk and spurt that could really use a talent such as yours!

There is a substantial portion of True fans who would have been just fine with the crap pile that Carl Peterson has fed them for 20 years.

"Just beat Denver and Oakland, get us to the wildcard round, and let me keep grillin in the parking lot Carl!!"
