Chiefs FOX sports rumor on Haley as HC of Chiefs

Sources: Cards Todd Haley to be next Chiefs coach

League sources told the Daily News that GM Scott Pioli has targeted Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley to replace Herman Edwards, but doesn't want to kick him out the door until Haley officially accepts the job, which can't be offered until after the Super Bowl. -- Philadelphia Daily News

EDIT:

To Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli for his inexcusable treatment of the team's dead-coach-walking, Herm Edwards. Pioli, who was hired nearly 2 weeks ago, continues to let Edwards twist in the wind. He says he still hasn't made a decision on Edwards' fate, yet already has let three of Herm's assistants - defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham, secondary coach David Gibbs and special-teams coach Mike Priefer - leave to take other jobs.

Pioli also seems to be as paranoid as the guy he used to work for in New England - Bill Belichick. The Kansas City Star recently sent a writer to Pioli's hometown to do a harmless Scott's-roots feature. When Pioli found out, he called former teammates, classmates and neighbors and instructed them not to speak to the reporter. Beautiful.

If there is any "Meat" to this rumor that might actually happen.

If they are actually making Herm twist and turn until then, and with the way Clark seems to feel about him, I bet they will reward him by keeping him in some capacity. Maybe as head scout or something.

StcChief · 01-23-2009, 09:55 AM

I'm fine with this, which makes complete sense, another 9-10 days.

ChiefMojo · 01-23-2009, 09:55 AM

WTF? Then why didn't we fire Herm and interview Haley beforehand? It doesn't make any sense. This past week we were free to interview anyone in the Super Bowl. That goes for Todd Haley and Russ Grimm. We interviewed neither! Sounds like another national media type grasping at straws.

How do you know they didn't interview them? Since Clark started his search everything has been done in complete silence and no leaks. Pioli is the doing the same thing.

So your saying that all other teams in the NFL are going to be quiet as the

?

IF Haley was interviewed by KC, the AZ media would of let someone know about it....

Well Clark interviewed about 10+ NFL execs when he was looking for a GM and no one said thing.

Good luck with that... Especially with all the media attention superbowl teams garner...

Pittsburg media would be eating it up, trying to stir up doubt in AZ fans and players that their OC is good as gone, with his mind on his new position and not the game...
