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.

Haley’s staff
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.

JFC, will you just shut the hell up already.

We get it.

You're the Stepford fan and are happy with everything that Scott Pioli does.

We also get that we aren't going to be informed of the decisions that are being made.

But that doesn't mean we don't have the right to wonder and speculate in a public forum.

So go fist yourself until you bleed your life out through your ass, you dumbass.

Krumrine,

Get off the internet. Quit using the patty cake method to select defensive linemen, and start earning your paycheck.

Pioli Zombie · 02-18-2009, 09:26 AM

Sure you have a right to whine and complain and I have a right to explain why you are ignorant for doing so

You want to be catered to then go get peterson back. I'd rather have a winner

I agree completely as those two hires bring up many questions. Im already tired of all this "cloak and dagger secret shit" about everything. There's a time and place for all that, but IMHO this is not it.

You do realize you are being a jackass to folks who have been Chiefs fans for in the ballpark of 40 years don't you? We have pretty much seen it all. We stuck it out when times were really bad... bad like you pretty much can't imagine.

We have earned the right to whine and complain a bit, but we most certainly are not ignorant.

You really are a dumbass, aren't you?

We know that we aren't going to be catered to, dumb****, so there's no reason for you to explain it to us, shit for brains.

RustShack · 02-18-2009, 09:35 AM

Zombie, if you have absolute faith in Pioli and are getting mad at us for having opinions, just leave then. You have no reason to be here if you don't want to talk.

Oh, and dumbass, you aren't explainiong why we are ignorant to complain.

You are only pointing out the obvious fact that we aren't going to be informed.

no matter how much you trust Pioli this has to scare you

Gibbs stayed for six years, leading the Sooners to a record of 44-23-2 in that time. While he succeeded in his primary task--cleaning up the program's image--he was perceived as a coach who couldn't win big games. He went 2-15-1 against Oklahoma's biggest rivals--Texas, Nebraska and Colorado--and never won more than five games in the Big 8 Conference. Moreover, the Sooners were hobbled by NCAA sanctions. During Gibbs' first two years, the Sooners were barred from bowl games, and were also banned from live television in his first year. More seriously, they were only allowed to give out 18 scholarships rather than 25. He wasn't able to field a team with a full complement of scholarships until 1994. Even so, discontent with his lackluster record in big games led Oklahoma to force his resignation after the season.

Pioli Zombie · 02-18-2009, 09:38 AM

I can't imagine? Living in New England for 40 years? I've seen worse football than you'll ever know. If you folks can't see the gift you've been given this offseason I'm sorry for you

This is the good time people a dawning of a great age of chiefs football. So stop worrying about assistant coaches for cry eye

Yeah the secretive bullshit accomplishes nothing. The staff is in place so lets here what they're going to do. I see no edge in keeping it a big secret. What do you tell players you interview at the combine when they ask what you do for the Chiefs? "Who knows, your guess is as good as mine, wouldn't I like to know, well I 'm shooting for the D-coordinator spot, but their still chewing on my qualifications. That has got to be confidence inspiring to potential free agants and draft picks. Starting to remind me of a bunch of high schoolers. "We know, but we aint telling." WTF
