If you listen to the Sirius NFL radio interview on kcchiefs.com Haley says he learned about the importance of conditioning from Parcells. Parcells believed the offseason program was important to get the players into training camp in shape rather than wait until training camp to get them in shape. It makes sense really because you can spent time doing football drills rather than getting players in shape.
So on the one hand we have Herms way where players were are apparently out of shape. The result 9-7, 4-12 and 2-14.
On the the other hand we have Parcells way where players are expected to stay in shape year round. The result speaks for itself (whether Haley is successful in other aspects of being HC is unknown of course).
I think it's a non-issue.
