I read Peter King each and every week so his take is not surprising to me. He's always liked Cassel and Pioli and has said he thinks Haley will probably succeed. He mentioned that it appears that the QB is in place and it appears that Haley is a strong coach that will be given 3 years.

I can tell you that it appeared to me that Haley was the right hire before the season started and it appeared that Matt Cassel was going to perform okay based on his two preseason performances. But at this point, you could make the argument either way.

In my opinion, I haven't seen anything that's convince me that Cassel is the long term solution at QB nor have I seen anything to convince me that Haley is the long-term solution at head coach.

But, we're only seven games in. There's plenty of time for that opinion to change.

This.

King didn't exactly go out on a limb.

He said this:

Which team will turn it around in 2010? My guess is Detroit and Kansas City have the best chances because they have what appear to be strong GMs, strong coaches and quarterbacks who look like they have a chance.

When he would have said this, had he actually believed it:

Which team will turn it around in 2010? My guess is Detroit and Kansas City will, because they have strong GMs, strong coaches and franchise quarterbacks.
