Yeah…the team is being run by a micromanaging jerk who has no people skills and quits at halftime, which is definitely an issue.

Injuries. Conversations with players. And now signs? Somebody should ask him about the Bud Light Signs and the Sprint signs.

I’m also sure I’m leaving a bunch of things out.

You know your team is bad when the media is asking a bunch of questions about signs and the head coach is actually combative.

I started out very supportive and am a huge and lifelong Chiefs fan but I am getting to the point where I have just about had it with this jerk. He reminds me of Don Rumsfeld. An arrogant and therefore ignorant, rude, know it all jerk. No free agents are going to want to come here and be treated like third graders or benched because Haley woke up on the wrong side of the bed. He is an outright embarrassment to our city.

Seriously, this guy will not make it in the NFL unless he grows up fast. If you were a prime free agent how much more would you have to receive in cash to play for a jerk? How much more cash would you need with the knowledge that Haley could bench you at any moment. I am just tired of it. First we had Carl treating agents like crap. He was proud he made John Taits agent cry and then sold out Jared Allen to the press over his dui’s. Now we have a coach who is like a petulant little kid throwing players under the bus (Mark Bradley-game one) and putting up stupid gimmicky signs and then bitching at the press. He is an embarrassment. Arrowhead is locked down like Fort Knox and past players such as Grunhard and Eric Hicks say they are treated like crap. Again, no free agent players will come here unless we pay them a bunch more money. These guys need to change and change fast.

this is in interesting post, for all of those people that want to “fire Haley”

People felt the same way about Coughlin in NY, he came in stubborn, and acting like a jerk/dictator… then they won the SB. Now, they are struggling again… look at this post

“Or, have the players begun not to hear the things Coughlin and his coaches are preaching? Even terrific coaches have season where they simply don’t get their message across to players.”

“It’s Not Coughlin.
C’mon, guys, gals, lets have a little acceptance here, Ed touched on it earlier: This defense just DOES NOT have the TALENT. "

“TC, it’s time to go!
Sorry BBV, but although I agree that TC has been there during times of crisis .. I don’t credit him for turning anything around. I don’t SEE a leader who’s willing to shake the tree and get things changed. He talks. A lot. But doesn’t say anything.”

For the sake of argument, let’s forget the content of the sign, and whether it’s indicative of a locker room problem.

Haley’s comments today clearly show that he considers public discussion of the sign inappropriate. OK… that’s his call. The Chiefs are certainly entitled to keep their motivational signage just as private as what transpires in team meetings.

But if that’s the case…

1. Why post the damn thing where members of the media can see it?

and

2. Why in the hell did Josh Looney of the PR Department put it out on the Internet(s) for everybody to see?

I’m aware that many AP posters consider this sign no different than the myriad motivational signs displayed around NFL stadiums, parctice facilities and locker rooms. I don’t happen to agree. However… even if it is innocuous, this affair has been handled very badly. In this incident, the guys running the Chiefs were not on the same page, and that does not speak well for them.

What else is the right hand doing that the left hand knows nothing about?

without being rude about him.

I was just venting. He is saying that I somehow insulted someone on AP. I had not read a single comment at that point. I was strictly saying I can’t believe “here we go again”.

Another failed coach. Another losing season. Re read it. I wasn’t replying to anyone’s comment on here what so ever. I am not UC. I don’t need to learn from anyone. I’m ME!!

I don’t call Haley names. And for the last time…I WASN’T referring to anyone’s comments as I HAD NOT even read a single one when I posted my comment. In fact right after I hit post on my comment I read UC’s comment first and smiled and was thinkin’ “there’s my boy telling the truth, tellin’ it like it truly is”. I wasn’t mad about anything or anyone on AP what so ever at all.

why was I warned?

Then maybe they could get him to stay home instead of standing around in street duds.

thisn’t a gang up on UC ok? I am just taken back a bit. It wasn’t a very friendly warning. Not the kind I would expect from a friend of mine on AP who should know me a little bit on here by now.

not commenting on the post. No one likes being called names.

Our last loss was horrible and then we went into a bye week, then all this crap with LJ jumped off and passions were inflammed even more….this mirrors exactly what happens in the locker room of a losing team. Some players bicker with each other while others take issue with the management. We need collectively take a deep breath and understand what’s going on. All this negativity is infecting our dialogue and we are losing sight of why we come here, most of us are Chiefs fans and we are here to discuss our team. We all have different perspectives on what is best for the team but this level of free-flowing anger/frustration is damaging and prevents logical and civil discussion.

have a good night all. goodnight AP

Really really do..

Here was a comment from a post of mine a couple months ago on ten things to like about the Chiefs.

“4. Todd Haley. He might be a bit of a prick but who cares? He and our GM demand perfection and football knowledge. What is wrong with that? As Adam Teicher said, this is the best camp he has seen in years. According to Adam, under Herm there was no sense of urgency in camp. This year, players know they better be ready every play. There is no coasting under Coach Haley. Benching Bowe was a great message. He is basically saying if you just want to earn a check and get stats, go play for the Bengals. If you want to play the game right and win championships here is what we are doing in Kansas City. I like his schemes on both sides of the ball. He also has the confidence to hire great assistants, Pendergrast, Gibbs, even the now fired Gailey, the OL coach etc. We had such weak assistants under Herm. Too often in the past, we either played defense (Marty), offense (Coach Vermeil) or neither (Herm). Coach Haley will build both sides of the ball. He also understands what Herm never seemed to- if they do not know what you are going to do, it gives you an advantage. His Dad, one of the greatest scouts in the history of the game (70s Steelers +) offers the same pedigree as GM Pioli. These guys are football breathers through and through.”

 I am just starting to wonder now and this sign thing kind of set me off. I am not seeing much imagination on offense and I see a coach who is paranoid and has lost control of his team. I was kind of sick of Herm as a “players” coach and was ready for more discipline but Haley just seems so petty and todays NFL players have 32 chocies and I am concerned that we will be on the bottom of the list come free agent time. I hope that I am wrong and he turns out well. It is just hard to see.

He will be the O-coordinator next year when Pioli hires Bill Cowher as our HC…..and Crennel as our DC

of a situation where that happened – that a HC was demoted to a coordinator position?

Bueller? Bueller?

And Haley will not be going anywhere…regardless who is right about his coaching potential.

that is the sign? i don’t believe it…. it’s pretty silly. i don’t know how some of you are so fired up about it? it looks seriously photoshoped.
