Chiefs FOX sports rumor on Haley as HC of Chiefs - Page 4

Sources: Cards Todd Haley to be next Chiefs coach

League sources told the Daily News that GM Scott Pioli has targeted Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley to replace Herman Edwards, but doesn't want to kick him out the door until Haley officially accepts the job, which can't be offered until after the Super Bowl. -- Philadelphia Daily News

EDIT:

To Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli for his inexcusable treatment of the team's dead-coach-walking, Herm Edwards. Pioli, who was hired nearly 2 weeks ago, continues to let Edwards twist in the wind. He says he still hasn't made a decision on Edwards' fate, yet already has let three of Herm's assistants - defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham, secondary coach David Gibbs and special-teams coach Mike Priefer - leave to take other jobs.

Pioli also seems to be as paranoid as the guy he used to work for in New England - Bill Belichick. The Kansas City Star recently sent a writer to Pioli's hometown to do a harmless Scott's-roots feature. When Pioli found out, he called former teammates, classmates and neighbors and instructed them not to speak to the reporter. Beautiful.

Gets murky. Without officially asking permission, we'd be tampering. I have to believe that if we were dead-set on hiring him, we've talked to him. Perhaps we, Haley, and Arizona have an agreement in place to keep it quiet so as to not disrupt their preparation.

How about "unofficially." Then they can give the interview "official" status after deciding on Herm and no one's the wiser.

running a productive offense with all the talent his has in Arizona is NOT a big accomplishment imo.

Their Oline isn't that good. esp in the running game.

though I will admit they've stepped it up since the playoffs.

I gotta say, I have mixed feelings about his "overtly mum" approach. At first I was for it, because I thought the media scum would have nothing to write about. Turns out to be true in some regards.....

I don't understand what the point is of holding onto Herm.

Even if Haley doesn't take the job, there's no way you can bring Herm back now. That'd be a total disaster.

This was so 2008, it is tired.

I believe that. Then it's not a surprise we haven't asked for permission.

Maybe he wants Herm and Herm's staffs opinion on the current players on the roster and Senior Bowl reports before he lets them go.

I have a feeling Pioli is going to come out of no were with his choice for HC. Some of this stuff just doesn't make any damn sense to me. I could understand if he was trying to scoop another team to get his guy, but I don't see it. This is just getting stupid. Why not interview Haley this week, why wait.... unless he wants to see how he does in the big game.

Chieftain58 · 01-23-2009, 12:38 PM

If Pioli is firing Edwards he is a p.o.s. for making him squirm in his pants, imagine if it was you at your job and they were doing this to you. All signs are pointing to him getting canned so why wait? Plus, They would hav to abide by the Rooney rule and have to interview at least 1 minority and couldn't announce there decision immediately after the SB until this was done.

Did Herm even go with them this week? I haven't heard one way or the other.
