A source within the otherwise impenetrable walls of One Arrowhead Drive advises that the Chiefs have fired this morning offensive coordinator Chan Gailey.

Gailey survived the initial purge of assistant coaches after Todd Haley was hired in February.

It's unclear what has changed between then and now.

More to come.

Whats the point of the off-season? I mean this move should have been made then and half the starters aren't even on the team yet.

Per Josh Looney's twitter account:

It's official, "I've assumed the role as offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs," Todd Haley.

Haley also goes on to say that Chan Gailey WILL remain with the team in some capacity...his role is currently being discussed

The 0-line coach should be next!

Listening to Petro right now, and I think his "take", albeit his conspiracy theory is right on. He stated that he wonders if Haley just didn't say "look chan, we aren't gonna ever become the perennial playoff contenders and superbowl contenders running the spread with guys like Thigpen. We need better players to run OUR system, but they aren't all here now. We will do the best we can within OUR system." In other words, he would rather take the bumps with accurate pocket guys than Thigpen types and run his system. Chan probably disagrees and with a bit of arguing, Haley tells him he's done. Sounds good to me.

I wonder if Haley hit Chan and broke his jaw?

Whatever happens, we'll always have memories:

Wow I guess they must really be convinced that Bruschi can run the offense.

pure speculation.

I've only scanned the first three pages, so if someone said this...sue me:

When Haley said every position is up for grabs he apparently meant EVERY position.

twinkiekid · 08-31-2009, 12:32 PM

Are we sure that Chan didn't just say,"fuck it. I can't keep a qb healthy and I'm not going another year with that Thigpen again. I've got better things to do than watch the defense outscore the offense. Boring."

I wonder what the reaction of Chiefs fans would be had the Raiders or Broncos performed the same move two weeks before the start of the season? Or if Carl had done it. Doesn't it seem a bit odd that it took weeks to come to a decision on a coach and a staff and then two weeks before the start of the season they decide to can the coach who has the 2nd or 3rd most important job on the team?

That's my take with it. I don't care about about Gailey.

As I posted earlier, any differneces should have been addressed a LONG time ago.
