Text of Todd Haley statement

The former Chiefs coach released a statement through his agent. It reads:
“First, I would like to thank Clark Hunt and the kansas city chiefs for giving me the opportunity to coach this historic franchise. Growing up in the NFL, watching my Dad help build those great Pittsburgh Steeler teams, I have a profound love for this league. This opportunity has been a dream come true.

I would like to sincerely thank my coaches and my players for their commitment and loyalty throughout my time with the chiefs.

I would like to thank all of the great chiefs fans. my wife chrissy and i would also like to thank the city of kansas city for welcoming us and our 5 children and making us feel at home.

I am proud to have been a part of continued improvement and the first afc west title since 2003. this year has been extremely challenging, but despite losing several key players to injury and free agency, we have been able to remain competitive and remain in contention with 3 games remaining in the season. i wish the coaches and players good luck down the stretch.

NFL football is extremely competitive. Being hired and fired is part of this business. i want to thank everyone for their support and i look forward to my next opportunity in this great league."

It's so stupid it's almost laughable.

Wow.

I love comparison's like this.

Like there's any correlation. He's a lot closer to Cam Cameron than he is BB.

We'll see in 5 years. I bet Haley is coaching another team, and has them in the playoffs, before the Chiefs get to the playoffs again. As has been said, if you don't try to stick with a guy and ride it out, you end up tearing it all down before you've even built it up.

Ultimately I just didn't see anything so horrific from Haley that he needed to be fired and for the rebuilding process to start over again. There are many problems with the Chiefs. Cheap ownership. A general manager who increasingly looks like he's in over his head. No quality starting QB. Injuries. And yet Haley gets run out of town? Everyone says that the Chiefs made the playoffs last year on a weak schedule, and that a step back may have been expected even before the injuries, and then with the injuries many expected a collapse, and as expected it happened. And yet Haley gets run out of town? Makes very little sense to me.

When Pioli and Haley are considered, there are four possible outcomes:

1.) Haley was a good coach but Pioli's still the problem. Chiefs blew it and now have to rebuild with another coach who may not be as good.

2.) Haley was a sucky coach and Pioli's still the problem. Chiefs blew it and are now still stuck with Pioli, who will continue to **** things up.

3.) Pioli is good, but so was Haley. Chiefs blew it because they dumped a good coach, and now have to find another coach and rebuild.

4.) Pioli is good, but Haley was a sucky coach. Chiefs made the right move.

I bet, if Chiefs fans are polled, most would pick 1, many would pick 2, a few would pick 3, and very few would pick 4.

We aren't cheap. The Bills are cheap.
