This paragraph is 100% spot on.
Haley has no head-coaching experience, so the portion of KC’s fan base that never wants to take risks – and it’s a substantial portion – wanted nothing to do with him. Whether they were brainwashed by Carl Peterson or Carl was just playing to his audience, I’m not entirely sure. But there are some who are just dead-set against the Chiefs doing anything that involves rolling the dice, whether that means hiring a first-time head coach or taking a quarterback high in April’s draft.
