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.
