Chiefs Haley expected to interview with the Chiefs - Page 2

Tertullian · 02-02-2009, 12:17 PM

The Chiefs are expected to formally interview Cardinals OC Todd Haley about their head-coaching vacancy this week.
Haley is so widely expected to get the job that multiple minority candidates have turned down interview offers, which GM Scott Pioli will still need to satisfy the Rooney Rule. Pioli should be able to come up with a minority coach from somewhere, but it won't be someone who takes the interview seriously. Feb. 2 - 12:50 pm et

They kept the GM search under wraps very well, why would the head coach search be the same way?

I'm guessing that Herm interviewed to keep his job and that satisfies the Rooney Rule. I highly doubt Pioli is going to gaff this right off the bat.

And if he does, and we have to pay 200k for the coach we want. Then so be it. At least we aren't giving up draft picks again.

HALEY’S IMMEDIATE PLANS: GOING TO PRO BOWL
Posted by Aaron Wilson on February 2, 2009, 1:21 p.m.
The reported frontrunner to become the Kansas City Chiefs’ successor to fired coach Herm Edwards has no immediate plans to sit down with Chiefs General Manager Scott Pioli, according to the Kansas City Star.

Unless Todd Haley is taking a detour to Kansas City on his way to Hawaii, site of the Pro Bowl, or Pioli is going to fly out to the land of luaus to meet with the Arizona Cardinals’ offensive coordinator, then the Chiefs’ head coaching search appears to still be in a holding pattern.

Following the Cardinals’ Super Bowl loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Haley said he plans to attend the Pro Bowl this week as a guest of quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receivers Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin.

“I have no plans,” Haley told the Star when asked if he was going to interview in Kansas City this week. “The quarterback and receivers have invited a bunch of us to go to the Pro Bowl. That’s what I’m thinking about. It might take my mind off of this right now.”

Haley added that he hasn’t spoken to Pioli, a former colleague with the New York Jets back in the 1990s.

“As I’ve said for the last two weeks, my focus has been on this game, which is the biggest game I’ve ever been involved in,” Haley said. “That is what I have told my agent, to not talk to anybody, and that’s what I’ve done.”

Of course, since Pioli has already demonstrated that he’s more than willing to tell friends and former teachers to not discuss personal anecdotes about himself with nosy reporters, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the Chiefs’ personnel boss might have already instructed Haley to keep his mouth shut about Chiefs business.

Or, should we say, none of your business.

Its tongue in cheek...

anyhow, hogfarmer is black so its ok for him to say that.

BTW, is MLK untouchable that people can't joke at his expense?

What about Rosa Parks?

Malcom X?

Is it just the black people who were famous for the civil rights movement that are untouchable or can we not laugh about Thomas Jefferson and his oddities because he was important too?

Why the **** do they even have this Rooney rule? If he's qualified, he'll get the job, black or white or green or whatever color they are. Who gives a shit about color, this isn't 1950 anymore, give me a ****ing break.

I couldn't agree with you more, Ron.

According to Schefter several weeks ago, this does not satisfy the rule.

Red Dawg · 02-02-2009, 01:41 PM

We just had a "minority" coach and that should make us exempt from having to interview one.
