Yeah... I really really doubt that Haley gives a shit what fans or the media think. At all. Haley has so much to worry about with all the hats he's wearing. Media people and fans are not, and should not, factor in one bit in the coach's decisions.

I know they care. He's also ultimately not accountable to them, he's accountable to Scott Pioli.

There's absolutely zero chance the comment has any effect on his career one way or another, because ultimately he's not going to be judged on this year alone. At the end of it all, he'll either have won enough games that people will have forgotten, or he'll have lost so many games that the comment is insignificant by comparison.

Furthermore, it's kind of interesting to see so many references to the comment NOW, when almost EVERYBODY thought they'd be no better than 1-7 halfway through the season.

Nice take. Perhaps tennis of golf is more your speed.

Giants averaged 4.7 yards per carry.

Chiefs averaged 4.2 yards per carry.

Let the spinnin wheel spin baby!

Who said anything about it effecting his job as the HC?

Fan bases have a hard time remaining reasonable and rational.

Why else would he regret it?

In general, people only regret saying things if there's real and concrete consequences.

He's not gonna get fired for saying it. Furthermore, the majority of fans and media that are bitching would have been bitching with or without that comment. So even if he did care about what they think, the comment is still fairly inconsequential.

Havent you read they planet much? Haley is struggling with his duties...

Oh and that Pioli is regretting hiring Haley.... Should be front sports news...

I think Cassel played fine, yeah he was a bit behind on a couple of passes and had a couple overthrows. He also hit dbowe and wade in the hands a couple times to have them drop it.

I don't think you can blame him on the short throws on 3rd down. The defense took away anything deep, his best shot is to throw short and hope they can make a play. Realize the dude has nano seconds to make a decision with our line. I would rather him take a dump off than have osi riding him down to the ground.

He also made a couple plays in the 4th quarter. He looks better than Trent did his first year. Get him a line and he will be fine.

3 years of Herm no only ****ed the team, it totally ****ed the fanbase and any rational thought.

I don't know about the latter but the former is most certainly spot-on.

Not to mention the fact that it's hearsay. Jason Whitlock says that Brian Waters says that Todd Haley said...

Wow. Your helmet is on waaaaaaaaaaay too tight this this morning. My comment was more in jest than anything else. But shit, why stop here, let's keep analyzing this thing.:LOL:

Gunther and Vermeil certainly played a role in demoralizing the fan base.

I know you hate Herm and all but Gunther couldn't put together a freakin' intelligent sentence in two years as head coach.
