Collinsworth: Haley will be Chiefs' new coach

NBC Sports analyst Cris Collinsworth expects Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley to become the Chiefs’ next head coach.

It’s becoming more apparent that the Chiefs are waiting until after the Super Bowl to identify their next head coach _ or why not send Herm Edwards to the Senior Bowl and let him replace assistants who are fleeing?

Collinsworth, who spent time with Haley before covering the Cardinals’ wild-card win over Atlanta for NBC and will work the Super Bowl, said Haley’s star has risen higher than anyone’s during the playoffs.

“I think he’ll be the coach in Kansas City,” Collinsworth told me Tuesday on a teleconference.

“I’m watching what’s happening with all the (new) coaches, and we’ve seen some of the defensive coaches come off the board, and the one guy nobody is talking about that has surprised me, and it’s because (the Cardinals) flew so far under the radar screen, was Haley. He’s not under the radar screen anymore.

“The biggest winner who has come out of this run by the Arizona Cardinals has been Todd Haley.”

Haley worked with new Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli with the New York Jets during 1997-99.

Some have speculated Pioli may hire Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, but Ferentz' son, James, will be a sophomore offensive lineman on the Hawkeyes' football team next season, and it's hard to believe Kirk will want to walk away from that.

And if Ferentz was the choice, why not make the move now?

Sometimes, timing is everything.

Interesting.

Makes sense with all the voodoo silence.

Interesting. I don't know much about him; but I did hear some interesting commentary about him during the NFC Championship game in which one of the announcers said something to the effect of "He's not a players coach; he's more of the Parcells mold" etc.

I got the impression he's not the type to take sh*t from players (although Boldin tried his best).

Should this happen, it'll be intersting to see the personality conflicts between him and LJ. lol

interesting.

Amnorix · 01-20-2009, 03:06 PM

Well, that would explain alot...

ClevelandBronco · 01-20-2009, 03:08 PM

Finally a decent theory.

Archie Bunker · 01-20-2009, 03:09 PM

Sounds good to me. Grimm could be a possibility as well.

**penguinz** · 01-20-2009, 03:09 PM

I would like to see this pick.

Demonpenz · 01-20-2009, 03:10 PM

Agreed.

I like the dude. But is he really that good. To be honest, I think the Cards got this far because everyone underestimated them.

If they win the SB. I am totally sold on him. No questions asked.

FloridaMan88 · 01-20-2009, 03:13 PM

Todd Haley would bring in an aggressive offense to the Chiefs... I'm all for it.

Todd Haley and Jim Haslett as defensive coordinator?

If LJ returns..I think it's best we move on

I know that some ****er will come and make fun of this so might as well do it myself.

Really? glad SB is good enough for you. Dick Head.

Hmmm. Intriguing article. Thanks for posting.

I thought for sure that Pioli would go after a coach that has his roots on the defensive side of the ball.

Why not can Herm now and hire Haley after the SB?
