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.

God damn you are the most clueless bastard alive.

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

not best accolade

You like one way conversations. If you are going to talk shit on pioli moves then its ok for me to counter by saying why you are shitheads for getting on piolis case over crap like this when his track record has earned him some time to do things his way

When you get it back you whine that you are being told you can't say anything. Nothing of the sort. Fire away and have the balls to be fired back on

Jeeez. What a bunch of babies

Pioli isn't perfect just like everyone else. Please shut the **** up now.

missinDThomas · 02-18-2009, 09:45 AM

For Gibbs that has to suck. He used to be over Teddy Pendergrass and now he will be under him.

You're right... Now it's going to be "In New England this, In New England that."

Enjoy the change.

I have a comment and a question:

Comment- I'm not excited about the 'D' staff at all. Especially with Krummy retained.

Question- WHO IS THE F***** QB COACH and what is his credentials?

Pioli Zombie · 02-18-2009, 09:50 AM

Yeah. The Patriot way sure failed in New England.

It's frigging stupid to announce the hiring of new coaches but not announce what position they will coach. It's not hard to understand. It has nothing to do with what Pioli did or did not accomplish in NE. Until Pioli proves he can do it on his own, I happen to think that Belichick is the primary reason for NE's success. Has he earned the right to pick coaches and have fans give them time to prove themselves, sure. But it doesn't mean it isn't stupid to keep their job duties secret. It accomplishes nothing except try to prove to the media and fans that he is top dog and nobody is going to think about pissing on his tree.

missinDThomas · 02-18-2009, 09:56 AM

I heard one rumor that they are waiting to announce postions until they figure it out. they got the people they want now just have to figure out where it is best to put them.

Hell I don't know....damn rumors

Pioli Zombie · 02-18-2009, 09:57 AM

After the peterson era that may not be such a bad reason. And just because he hasn't announced it you why are you so sure he hasn't told anyone who NEEDS TO KNOW?

That is exactly what I think is happening. It's not secrecy, it's just chaos.

Pioli Zombie · 02-18-2009, 10:00 AM
