Chiefs Haley on Sirius

Todd Haley just on Sirius.

- Pioli one of the best if not the best at what he does.

- Chief ownership big factor in coming to KC.

- Phenomenal fan base in KC.

- Knows players are anxious to talk to the new coach but his evaluation process will be based on what he sees.

- Some things to be encouraged about Thigpen. Athletic, competitive, and shows leadership qualities.

- Only philosophy about taking a quarterback high in the draft is that you'd better be right if you do it.

- Biggest factor in Warner turning his game around was limiting turnovers. Goes for all quarterbacks.

- Very happy with his staff. The more he's around Chan Gailey, the more pleased he is with having him on board.

Not much new.

rinse and repeat.........they sure make it boring

Just got through listening to the interview with Todd Haley on Sirius (last segment on Sirius Blitz - Shein / Wilcotts)

Paraphrasing:
- Lot of young players, but hasn't been caught up on all of them
- Spent most of his time building a staff, still has some pieces to add
- Only watched 5 or 6 games so far, but most games were close, could have been 8-8
- Hasn't talked to LJ, TG, or any of the players yet so wouldn't comment on their public comments until he talks to them
- Only guys that want to be here, want to be coached, want to get better
- QB is most critical position on field
- Thigpen shows some encouraging things, will be in the mix, very competitive, leadership qualities, but he hasn't studied him enough yet
- If you take a QB high in the draft, you better be right; but you don't have to have a 1st round guy, he has experience working with top picks as well as low picks and undrafted picks (Warner, Romo, Testeverde, Bledsoe, Leinart, maybe some others he mentioned)
- QB qualities – don't turn the ball over, need leadership and move the ball, but most important is not turning the ball over
- Proud of his staff, Adam Shein was raving about how awesome the staff is
- Most important thing is building the staff, will be judged by the performance of this staff, about as important if not more than the draft, really excited about Gailey

That's what I caught, did anyone catch anything else?

I hate multiple threads about the same shit. I was typing notes into the new thread and submitted it when finished typing notes after interview, didn't take the time to see if someone else beat me to it...

Maybe he asked Herm how many games could they have won?

J/K, said he had so many calls the past two weeks there's no way he could return them all...said he ignored most of them so he could focus on building his staff.
