I agree. If anything, they should have at least kept him for a few "real" games.

I would have to agree with this assessment.

Why does everyone automatically expect Haley to be the one who fired him?? I want to know, was it Pioli, Clark, or Haley. The head coach firing an assistant by himself is very rare. Im sure it was up to Pioli or Clark. Haley may have given his advice and thoughts on Chan, and Scott let him go. Something like that. Haley doesnt have full power over the team.

This.

Exactly. Gailey's statement is a very simple, very professional courtesy.

It let's everybody else know that he's a good soldier and won't burn colleagues.

Or the 4th and goal against the Vikings. You just can't hardly call that play anymore with the new out of bounds rule.

We'll see how this goes, most first year head coaches that call plays end up realizing it's way to much of a workload for 1 guy to do.

Haley is Shanahan 2.0!

Andy Reid does it too....I think he's the only guy still coaching that does.

The thing to be concerned with this is Haley is already showing extreme impatience and his idea to fix something is to put himself there. It's great that he thinks he can do it better but he's taking on a huge workload so you question burnout and if he can pay as close attention to everything as he should.

Haley is Gunther 2.0!

I assume it will only be this year most of the guys who've become head coach and called plays after 1 year decided they didn't want to do it anymore.

I just realized, Haley is the QB coach now too. ROFL

Its funny in strange way.

Bite your tongue! Gunningham is a spineless prick.

It just comes off like he's trying to do far to much, he can't do it alone.

Even Reid and Shanahan have (had) offensive coordinators. They just called the plays.
