It's been nearly two months since Haley took the helm. Here's a quick rundown of some of the things he's been involved in:
- Hired a coaching staff
- Offended Brian Waters
- Spoke at the Combine
- Said Tyler Thigpen will compete for the starting QB job
- Signed WR Bobby Engram
- Didn't talk about Larry Johnson and off season conditioning

Would exactly would you 35 No-Unsure voters have Haley do to get your approval?
Hand out click clacks and sing “I always loved you”?

I'd love
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.

Exactly
No results yet so I voted unsure. If we go 2-14 this year then i’m sure a lot of the yes voters would change their minds.

Yeah, I was teetering between Yes and Unsure.
It is hard to judge a coach for GM and Owner level decisions. I voted Yes, but there is little to judge at this point.

Well then, we must ask ourselves, why should we be polling
on Haley before camp starts? There is not much there to judge him on according to what you guys have said. I actually agree with most of what you guys brought up. :)

I also feel to date that it's been the Pioli show
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.

Not that that is unexpected
Nor that what he has done is bad. Just in holding pattern with an open mind.

Aside from some questionable defensive coaching hires I think Haley has done all that can be expected of him. I hope that all those unsure votes are gone by mid season

WTF???
Why isn’t every vote UNSURE? How can you feel anything but Unsure about a guy who has never been a head coach on any level???
Just because they aren’t Carl & Herm doesn’t mean you should just roll over for them!!!

because he walked in the door refusing to coddle the players
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.

I don't buy that argument at all
Demanding respect without / before earning it doesn’t make him good.
That’s basically the same protocol as a douche.
(I’m not saying Haley’s a douche)

Good job TC,
I agree with all you said, some people may have voted no because of his deal with Waters, but he has made it clear, the players do not run the team. Now I hope that translates into getting the players to bust their ass on the field. Parcells had good luck with this approach, hopefully it works for Haley. I am optimistic about this year, I honestly believe this is the beginning of something special. I hope we have a stubborn defense, but man I really wanna see some fast paced, high powered offense!
Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!

I just hope he understands
that you play to win the game.
If he does, he’s got my vote.

You don't play to evaluate talent?
Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!

Haley I will admit is a good coach and a good play caller
Im pretty sure he will have success on the offensive side. As for the hires on Defense I dont know they were pretty much bottom of the barrel coaches on bad Defenses. But like I have said before .Good players make coaches look good and sometime vise versa. I hope to see our coaches and players do well only time can tell. oh by the way I voted unsure.

It's real hard to judge
when we havent even started the season. A coach is remembered for the seasons that he coaches! Pioli and Hunt are for the off season stuff not Haley. So give em a little time before you judge.
