Chiefs’ Haley puts together coaching staff
By ADAM TEICHER
The Kansas City Star

The Chiefs now have a staff of assistants to work with new head coach Todd Haley. In keeping with their new policy of hiding as much information as possible, the Chiefs wouldn’t disclose the duties of their assistant coaches.

But they retained Chan Gailey, who presumably will continue as offensive coordinator, and three other assistants from the staff of former coach Herm Edwards: Bob Bicknell, Joe D’Alessandris and Tim Krumrie.

Haley also hired seven new assistant coaches, including Gary Gibbs, the likely defensive coordinator. Gibbs, 56, spent the last three seasons as the defensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints.

The head coach at Oklahoma during 1989-94, Gibbs has also served as linebacker coach for the Dallas Cowboys.

The other new assistants:

•Joel Collier, who has 17 seasons of NFL coaching experience. Collier most recently was the secondary coach for New England during 2005-07.

•Steve Hoffman, a 19-year NFL coaching veteran. Hoffman spent 16 seasons as the kicking coach for the Cowboys before moving on to special teams duties with Miami and Atlanta.

•Bill Muir, a 31-year NFL coaching veteran. Muir most recently spent seven seasons as Tampa Bay’s offensive coordinator and line coach, though he didn’t call the plays.

•Clancy Pendergast, who was the defensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals for the last five years.

•Pat Perles, who has spent most of his coaching career in college other than two seasons with the Rams in the early 1990s. Perles spent the last four seasons as the offensive coordinator at North Dakota State and recently was hired as offensive line coach at Ball State.

•Dedric Ward, who played wide receiver for eight NFL seasons. He started his coaching career at Missouri State in 2006 and was an offensive assistant for the Cardinals for the last two years.

Judging from the backgrounds of the new coaches, one likely offensive scenario has Gailey joined on offense by Ward (wide receivers) and Bicknell (tight ends). Muir, Perles and D’Alessandris have backgrounds coaching the offensive line, so it’s unclear what their duties will be.

On defense, both Gibbs and Pendergast have been coordinators and coached linebackers. Krumrie will likely remain as the line coach while Collier could coach the secondary.

Hoffman would be the special teams coach.

Brent Salazar and Cedric Smith were also retained from Edwards’ former staff as strength and conditioning coaches.

Through the Chiefs, Haley refused an interview request to explain his decisions.

The returnees: Bob Bicknell, Joe D’Alessandris, Chan Gailey, Tim Krumrie.

The newcomers: Joel Collier, Gary Gibbs, Steve Hoffman, Bill Muir, Clancy Pendergast, Pat Perles, Dedric Ward.

Has there been "billeting" for lack of a better term of the new coaches yet? I mean, has a DC been declared, so on and so forth?

PTI Mr Fax, but I find myself concerned that Mr. Pioli Zombie will use up all his Go Phone minutes in this useless banter!

Whew, I thought the final straw of the shattered economy had finally broken here in Springberg. Thank you for the information Mr. FAX.

FAX

Two bottles? That sounds high.

Damn runaway inflation.

for the umpteenth time, moron, sure questions can be asked. But "questions" werent asked. Assessments of Chaos and "this secrecy is bullshit" and stupid judgements of doom were made and when people post idiotic things its perfectly ok to point it out.

Saying that anything I have posted was in response to merely "questions being asked" is total bullshit.

Except you came into this thread and started spewing your incessant bullshit without any assessments of chaos nor claims of doom present. You're a ****ing moron who needs to quit worrying about things here and instead focus on your ****ing pathetic life destiny of choking on dicks.

Kill yourself.

Do you think he's a better talent evaluator than Ozzie Newsome or Ernie Accorsi/Jerry Reese or Kevin Colbert?

I'd say they're probably equal but I don't know about better.

Holy ****ing Pioli.

I never want to be a pathetic ****er like you who simply accepts things without question.

To call us morons because we have questions is ****ing stupid.

The only real moron is one who never questions.

Hmmm. Perhaps it would be helpful if you would take a moment, Mr. Pioli Zombie, to define your terms with a tad more detail. For example, when you use the phrase, "assessments of chaos", do you mean that the information lock down in the FO is beneficial to the team's performance on the field and does not lead to an inordinate amount of unnecessary speculation and that the result is, in fact, not somewhat chaotic? And, when you say, "stupid judgments of doom", are you referring to your inability to swallow more than 7 or 8 geriatric, wheelchair-bound, homeless men's loads per day?

hey, try reading. its so helpful when you are posting.

I just finished saying to the previous moron that I NEVER said people shouldnt question. What I was responding to were people on this website wailing and crying and assessing. When you do that its fine if you are willing to be answered back. When people cry out that the Chiefs are in "Chaos" than its going to be responded to. And whether or not things were said in this thread or not, these threads dont live in some little vacuum. So dont hide behind that nonsense. The overall tone on this site towards Pioli has been negative and im going to respond to that.

Grow some backbone people.
