Chan couldn't stop looking through Thigpen colored glasses so now he is unemployed.

I don't think Haley/Pioli liked what they were seeing from Chan pure and simple. Haley and Mo are more than capable of calling the plays in "their" vision. I applaud the move!

Haley's been quoted as saying that he didn't know who would be calling the plays this year. It could be Gailey, Mo Carthon or Haley himself. That pretty much tells me that he just wasn't familiar enough with Gailey as a coach, play-caller and person to be able to make a determination.

Now that he's watched Gailey call plays in three games, he decides to relieve him of that duty. Gailey's "style" isn't meshing with Haley's vision for the Chiefs. I think it's that simple.

In a way, I'm glad because unless coaches have worked together in the past, inheriting another regime's coaches usually doesn't work. And this is a prime example.

There can be no excuses now.
Still seems a bit curious to me.
It's not as though Gailey was calling plays from an entirely different scheme.
He was using Haley's playbook.

And no amount of playcalling can cover up the holes we have offensively.

at least these chiefs keep it interesting. they make a trade, swithc up the rotation, demote a player for slacking, pick players off the waiver wire, fire coaches. failure was cool with herm.

Well, in a way, I'm glad.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

This is Haley's deal now.

That comment about 22 players of the street winning more than 2 games is going to bite him in the ass...

Haley is on track to look better against St. Louis. He'll probably play Croyle who is much better than Thigpen. He'll probably play the entire #1 roster and not send out Copper and other no names with the first string. Thigpen missed a couple of wide open receivers including Darling on what should have been about a 40 yard gain.

I think this is why he got fired. He wanted to go back to that system and Haley didn't wanna go there.

You could be right, but I like a lot of the stuff we are seeing in the games so far. First team defense is looking pretty solid. And Cassel and Croyle have looked pretty sharp running the offense. LJ and Charles look good. Bowe is playing very well.

If TT doesn't run the offense for 3 quarters the other night, I think we beat the Seahawks. Well never know, but that is my opinion.

Then good for Todd Haley.

Ok, slightly off topic, but you keep referring to this, so:

Oak * 2
Den * 2


wouldn't you expect K.C. to split with each of them?

Inspector 08-31-2009 11:27 AM
Wow...

So, if it's true then that means Haley aint ****ing around here.

Ralphy Boy 08-31-2009 11:30 AM
time for the obligatory Mike Martz/Al Saunders reference...

....if someone else didn't already beat me to it in the 14 pages and 20 minutes since this thing hit the front page.

I think that if Haley hires Martz, Pioli will fire Haley.

I've seen several people say this and for the life of me, I don't see it.

Sure, there is pressure from time to time on the QB but giving up 300 yards a half isn't my idea of solid.

The defensive ends look good but the NT position and linebacker position leave a lot to be desired. Teams will just run right up the middle all day long on the Chiefs and as we all know, neither Page nor Pollard can tackle.

This defense will be good, but not in 2009.

Best offseason ever ROFL

The Chiefs are falling apart.
