Text of Todd Haley statement

The former Chiefs coach released a statement through his agent. It reads:
“First, I would like to thank Clark Hunt and the kansas city chiefs for giving me the opportunity to coach this historic franchise. Growing up in the NFL, watching my Dad help build those great Pittsburgh Steeler teams, I have a profound love for this league. This opportunity has been a dream come true.

I would like to sincerely thank my coaches and my players for their commitment and loyalty throughout my time with the chiefs.

I would like to thank all of the great chiefs fans. my wife chrissy and i would also like to thank the city of kansas city for welcoming us and our 5 children and making us feel at home.

I am proud to have been a part of continued improvement and the first afc west title since 2003. this year has been extremely challenging, but despite losing several key players to injury and free agency, we have been able to remain competitive and remain in contention with 3 games remaining in the season. i wish the coaches and players good luck down the stretch.

NFL football is extremely competitive. Being hired and fired is part of this business. i want to thank everyone for their support and i look forward to my next opportunity in this great league."

A shot at Pioli?

Pretty standard fare, public relations approved, nothing you wouldn't expect!

No mention of Pioli

What key player did we lose to FA?

We released Waters...

Funny he didn't thank Pioli and how he made a point about losing talent, and still being competitive. Also mentioning the AFC west title, as if to make a point. Well done sir.

"we have been able to remain competitive"

Dude has lost all sense of reality.

He mentions loosing players in FA... So he really wanted to keep Shaun Smith? Seems like a classy guy, when his emotions aren't getting the best of him. I think he will learn from this, and when he gets another opportunity to be a HC again he will excel. And I think we Chiefs fans will be kicking ourselves for letting him go.

Shaun Smith

But what about the children
Their dad was fired two weeks before Christmas
The horror of having to break into the savings account off shore

He left out the part about that cock suckin, fart licking, only the Gay Patriot way loving, Cassel reaming Pioli

Why would I be kicking myself for letting someone go that I had absolutely no hand in letting go?

I don't give a **** if he excels somewhere else. He wasn't doing jack shit here.

One day, Haley will be looked at as a great HC. Just not in KC unfortunately. That's my statement.

He didn't even get three full years and took us to the play-offs. I'm tired of starting over every 3-4 years. That's why we can't win, because we are changing scheme's all the time. Everytime you do that, most of the players on the team, don't fit. Its why teams like the Steelers and Patriots are so good, they don't change coaches.

He took us to the playoffs on a weak schedule and a legit OC running the offense. Get over it.

Yup he will win a playoff game before the chiefs.

Weak schedule or not, they still beat NFL teams. I'm not totally defending him, I just tired of starting over.

His capitalization and punctuation is atrocious!

Haley is gone, but Mr. gblowfish is still with us.

I think we all now know which dude has the most mojo in his middle finger.

FAX

Yeah, very strange given that it's a coherent statement. Did he text the statement from his phone or something?

His agent did ... or representative or whomever.

Probably McLain.

FAX

I was gonna say, That was released through his agent like that??? wtf?

Yea, and if he really thought this team really still had a chance with three games to go....he needed to go. Wow!

Um, I didn't fire him today.

We have five losses by 27 or more points. Nuff said...

Pioli said yet today that they're not eliminated yet.

I don't know of an Owner that is going to hire him the way he acts on the sidelines. He is getting more of a WR diva reputation than that of a HC.

I'll agree with this solely because I don't think the Chiefs are winning anything in the next 5-7 years.

Haley will get a job.

FAX

"we have been able to remain competitive?" HUH!?

In 5 of the 8 losses this season they have been outscored 191-26. The rest of the AFCW is struggling too, that's the only reason we were "competitive".

Wait till dallas fire Jason Garrett in 3 weeks.Haley is perfect for that job.

Lol yeah cause the Chiefs are gonna beat Green Bay. Pioli is just as delusional as Todd is.

LMAO Sure.

He said he may have waved, and that he didn't use profanity.
I caught a major load of shit two years ago, right about this time of year.

I say again now what I said then: I said my peace, he said his. I'm totally cool with that, and hope he'll learn from his experiences here in his next stop.

5 Kids? damn, Haley's setting up franchises.

no rubber for Todd...

Romo ****s the Cowboys franchise over as much as Cassel does the Chiefs.

This should have been a point in Hamas's apology thread. Bunch of dumbasses. The lot of them.

Thank you,good luck.Basic shit man.

Maybe he knows Romeo is going to play Stanzi the last 3 games ;)

Seriously, He is delusional also.

i can't disagree. Romo has singlehandedly cost them 3 games this year. He costs them games every year, more than he leads them victory. But he's still a Top 10-15 QB, (he'll never be higher than 8, and that's generous) so Dallas can't just toss him aside. It's a sticky situation.

Nah, it will be time for JJ to go back for a big name guy. Flip flop every other time.

Shaun Smith.

Or San Diego

Agreed.

AJ is probably on the phone with him now.

FAX

I think we need to read between the lines!
:D

Haley had to go. i understand that, but **** Pioli. He's screwed up far worse then Todd. Its not even close in my eyes and in that statement you can clearly he he wants to say a big **** you to Scott.

SofaKing stoopid you are. Who gives a **** how he acts on the sideline but you? I love the way he acts. Much how I might act. Why shouldn't I? B/c of the media and my public perception? **** that. If I'm pissed, you'll know it. Get out of my way, pussy.

If you can back it up with coaching chops, you can do that. If not, you get fired and not hired as a head coach again.

Haley is such a class act. Until he starts groping the waitresses at the Waffle House.

Well, I would not have fired Haley but, if there is a silver lining, it probably clears the path for a legit Offensive Coordinator to come in here and, maybe, a different Defensive Coordinator.

I'd hate to see Romeo go. We need a new OC, but any new HC is going to want his own crew. Sorry Romeo, it was nice.

It all starts with the QB. QB specialists qb fixers cant fix Cassel. He's just not fixable. doesnt matter WHO The coach is if we dont get or attempt to get a franchise qb.

don`t you people understand pioli set todd up to fail,for pushing charlie out,thats why todd was not given players.Say what you will but that was so clear to see after the playoff loss,refer to the book war room.

Actually, I think the Chiefs can do better than Romeo Crennel. I understand that the offense hasn't contributed much (anything!) but great defenses have to generate pressure and the Chiefs have not done enough of that in Crennel's system.

Agreed. Bend but don't break defenses don't work in this league unless they play opposite a prolific offense.

Let's see what Hunt does. He said something to the effect that he needed to start doing his part. Hopefully that means breaking from the scrooge mcduck routine.

What DC would we bring in to run an attacking 34. You know he will be required to do that so?

what does the book war room say about pioli setting todd up to fail,pushing charlie out,and why todd was not given players

What do you mean by that? "You Chiefs fans" have sod-all to do with any personnel decisions. No one in the front office, on the coaching staff, or on the team has ever given a flip about the opinions expressed on ChiefsPlanet.

I can't stop laughing at you stupid ****ers that think he's going to get another HC gig.

Maybe it's just me, but I would have thought that he would have been doing his part from the beginning.

FAX

Yep. I bet he goes to Houston after Wade Phillips goes back to San Diego as HC next season...

They were in the AFC West.

Todd went on to say, "If you want to know more tintilating details, buy my book."

HES GOT 5 KIDS TO FEED AND A CAT, 5!

Heartless

Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I think they let Todd go too soon.

Yea, just a few more blowout losses and I would have been more convinced.

We need Haley back like we need Tyler Palko to start every game for the next 5 years.

No shout out to his man crush Palko?

I'm sure most Browns fans said that about Bill Belichick in the early-mid 90s, too.

One would think, but thinking always leads to trouble for Chiefs fans. :huh:

Clark Hunt said it first that we were not mathematically eliminated yet as another reason for letting Haley, as well as the players deserved an opportunity to win. So they decided to let him go now instead of at the end of the season.

Summing up Haley's tenure in KC under Pioli...

AT FIRST I WAS LIKE

BUT THEN I WAS LIKE

Bye, Tod. Palko starts, blowout losses, delusional thinking ends your era. Maybe you'll learn if you get another shot, if not , who cares? You screwed up here , now if you would only take Cassel with you.

It's so stupid it's almost laughable.

Wow.

Wow.

I bet they didn't.

I love comparison's like this.

Like there's any correlation. He's a lot closer to Cam Cameron than he is BB.
