Congrats Scott Pioli!

[Brianfo]

You just embarrassed the chiefs on national TV with the whole world watching. Now we know, you are a fraud. Belicheck made the decisions and you took all the credit. Whitlock was right you are forever Egoli! I for one won't stand for it. Done rooting for this abortion of a team, until you are done. Todd Haley is a fb coach that has been handcuffed with a bunch of losers. You need to fall on the sword.

I'll lay things like not having a strong OL or DL on Pioli's lap. That is the reason this team gets bullied every time we play a good team. I'll lay everything else on Haley. The whole preseason thing was a sham. This team has not grown, it has not progressed, it has regressed. You also had a whole offseason to hire a competent OC and because no one wants to work with you, you end up promoting a 90 year old OL coach to the position. Now our offense sucks and our OL is even worse than it was.

This team lacks an identity and I also lay that at Haley's feet. Pioli, I still think he's a good personnel guy, but I think the thing he does best is work behind the scenes to get players that fit a coach's plans. With a coach like Belichick, that worked great. With a guy like Haley, it won't work because Haley has no plan for what he wants his team to be. I'd give Pioli one more shot with a second head coach, but it needs to be a veteran coach who knows what kind of team he wants on the field every week...

The problem is that Haley didn't have a choice. Nobody has a choice. From day 1, Pioli has forced Haley to make the Patriot Way fit in KC. That was obvious from day 1 the minute we drafted Tyson Jackson.

Thomas Dimitroff, on the other hand, is giving his coaches the autonomy to pick their system.

So who hired Haley in the first place?

Why is Palko on Pioli? Palko was a member of the cardinals while Haley was there, so Haley was obviously comfortable with him being the backup QB.
