Chiefs I think Clark fired Haley here's why!

OzarksChiefsFan · 12-13-2011, 03:08 AM

I think Clark Hunt fired Haley. I think the game Sunday was the final straw. When you talk the talk like Clark did about building a winner blowout losses are not acceptable. I think Pioli got him to wait till Monday morning but I

don't think he could change his mind. Pioli may have been served notice to shape up as well. If you watched the body language in the Press conference Clark was exuding confidence and Pioli seemed a little shaken.

Hunt should've also fired Pioli for wasting the entire '09 draft, and failing to bring in any big time players via free agency.

The big time via free agency rout isn't the way to go imo. They tend to last average 2 years and we have to start over again anyways. How are the Eagles doing this year? How are the Packers doing this year? It's not that hard to figure out that for long term success building a team through the draft is the best way to go. Just need to start with getting the QB from the draft in the first place in order for it to work.

Chiefs fans arn't patient now because such a long drout from winning any thing big. We have to learn how to be patient with a young team and QB that has the potential to be something greater than the best teams out there. They need to play potential and stick to the guns and conviction in this to work. The wins will come as the team grows together and learns how to be a team that relies on each other keeping each accountable on and off the field. Consistancy & familiarity are key components in all this.

I was against bringing in Cassel or any other retread QB to boot. I have always believed in drafting a QBotf and letting him play his rookie year, to hell with sitting him on the bench for his first year. I didn't want Joe Montana at the time we traded for him. I have stuck with this team just to see a QB draft pick grow and develop into something special for long term success that is fun to watch. Not the two year window retread but for a 10+ year window of championships opportunity. That has been my conviction all these years.

Thank God we finally got to the bottom of this! It's like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

I don't think Clark fired Haley, but I do agree that Pioli seemed shaken. Whether it was an act, I don't know. Hunt may have let him have it. Perhaps he informed Pioli that Cassel is gone due to season ticket non-renewals.

When you talk the talk like Clark does, you sit on $30M of cap space and blame your HC for the team's failures.

I hear ya, and that number is well documented. I am curious though.

How do you go young, and build through the draft, without being under the cap?

Considering the lockout crap, and the general time table involved, what free agents would you have picked up? Where would you spend the 30 million?

I know it was two years in a row, but do you think it is being a tight wad or committed to the youth movement?

Where is Brandon Carr's new contract? How about Dwayne Bowe?

They weren't very active in free agency at all.

And the youth movement thing is bullshit when you sign a 28-year old QB who didn't even play in college.

But haven't you heard? Supposedly Pioli was never given any limits on the amount of money he had to spend. Nice cover for the boss.
