April 2009 Todd Haley Approval Rating

to go Anquan Boldin all over Haley. He’d probably rock me but, dude, whatever. He ain’t go no love for B Dubbs, no love for badboy Boiman, prolly no love for Babin, and his boy Bobby E is whack. His coaching staff is more ragtag than your underwear, Pops. The only thing he can do to get on my good side (short of winning the Super Bowl) is kissing & hugging the KC Wolf. Then will I know he’s a rough rider

I voted unsure.“You are what your record says you are”. Right now Haley as a HC for the Chiefs is 0-0. Until I see what he does with the squad there isn’t anything to base a positive or negative assessment on.

The only positive thus far is his handling of “nosy” players, but that doesn’t account for wins.

As far as the hires are concerned, I put those squarely on Pioli’s shoulders since he makes the acquisition/retention “final” decisions, so I can’t blame Haley (for Krumrie) or praise him for retaining (Gailey).

I’ll judge Haley on his preparedness in the offseason and before games which will reflect in wins or loses.

No more, “we should have won 3-4 more games if we were a bit luckier” crap like some contest with Herm. There aren’t stats for “almost winning”.

And sorry if that sounded mean or out of line…but you know my take. I look at the end result bro.

So once things are really under Haley’s vision, his program Offseason Workouts, Draft Picks in place, a offensive and defensive scheme that we can see underway and working, player feedback and most importantly wins/losses, then I’ll have more of a say. Just not much to go on right now.

That was all I needed to see from him to know what kind of coach he was going to be.
Make no mistake, Haley is the big cheese. Anyone, no matter how long they have been here, that thinks they are just going to walk up and set the policy or make the decisions can kiss his ass.
The Chiefs have had 5 years of touchy feely crying coddling player run teams. It’s about damn time someone with a set of balls reminds the players that they get payed to play, not to coach.

His continued approval rating will be contigent on his ability to make the most of the team he has, win more games that the team did last year, and improve the 2nd worst defense with the absolute worst pass rush in football; but for now just being able to strap on a pair earns him my approval.
