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

It certainly is easy to say that at this time, it rolls right off the tongue. If you otherwise like what Haley represents, a Shanahan hire would have been all that a Haley hire was not. In fact if the Haley hire crashes and burns relatively early, not hiring Shanahan will be looked back on as being the great mistake, or at least the apparent non-pursuit of Shanny. The great caveat, and I think it is great though is, that anyone would assume Shanny would take a job in the scenario that apparently it is in a Pioli Chiefs clubhouse. You could say "shoulda got shanahan," but "it wasn't going to happen."

THE DEAL IS DONE

First, it was Herm isn't going anywhere

Then it was the Rat

Haley wasn't a consideration according to WPI

The only decapitation going on was due to a collective circle jerk on scout where you were ripping your own peckers off....

Regardless of how Haley works out, I will never look back on passing on Shanahan as a great mistake.

Of all the rumors that circulated, that was the one that scared me the most.

There's a substantive argument. Spin and deflect, dude. I can't wait until your patience with Nick runs out. Frankly, I'm shocked you've taken so long. When you're done with all the pathetic garbage that goes on over there consider yourself hired by myself. I am in need of a new Minister of Information.
