are why Haley is my favorite Chiefs coach since Marty. I don’t know he will work out but I sure like what I see.

No one said they missed Herm did they?!?!?!? Wow. He turned a perenial 10-win team into the clusterfuck of a team we cheer for now.

I’m still not sold on Haley, but I’m a Chiefs fan and he’s the head coach of my football team and I’m going to support him.

I’m a Vermiel guy.

Paddy for President!!!

Paddy just saved the Day

Thank you for putting this season into Perspective for these our fellow chief brethren

bring back Dick Curl as the defensive line coach.

He should totally coach the QB’s.

And Bad Moon Rison to be the offensive line coach.

I tried to use a little CAPS in there but I wanted it to be readable…

But I see your point…it would have given me oh so much more authority. People would have known how much I meant it, not by the content of my post but by the text!

WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! &$&(@#(%(#@

When you take into consideration pioli saying he has no idea when we’re going to start winning, but boy are they going to try hard…. That’s BETTER?

Herm was perfectly capable of coaching the Chiefs to 5 to 8 wins this year. I never had any doubt about that. The change in GM AND HC, though, gives me hope for an eventual championship and SERIOUS contention, and NOTHING we’ve seen so far is any reason to think it necessarily will or will not happen.

Although the line looked a bit better in week 2. Let’s hope they are improving.

when they’re winning, or at lest not losing in an embarrsing manner to a raiders team with the worst QB performance I’ve ever seen.

And I’m proud of myself for passing over reading and any comments on the latest Shitlock article that came in on the overnight. Just KNEW when I saw the quote who wrote the article and that I wouldn’t dignify it with my time.

He’s a great guy and we PSU fans love him. For shame! ;)

Damn Haley for calling a QB sneak on 2nd and 1 on the raiders 25 and not taking a shot in the endzone.

So what you are really trying to say is “Damn Haley for getting a first down?”

Nice.

because I have a two year old and a 6 year old nephew….

but, yeah I played organized sports the whole time I was growing up, I played football, wrestled and baseball, I was offered scholarships by several small schools to play baseball but ultimately when to school at george washington in DC which unfortunately doesn’t have football, and I never tried out for baseball because I was goig through a pretty intese cellular and molecular biology program. No I didn’t respond well to people cussing me out, as most, reasonably intellegent people don’t.

And like I’ve said before…. coaches get too much credit for wins and too much blame for losses… ha… and I’ve also said that coaches can fuck up a team, but they can’t take a team devoid of talent and make them really good.

You absoloutely meant to take a pot shot at me, and that’s fine, it’s an internet board… who gives a crap if you want to question me. but I still support my original statement that people more often than not aren’t motivated by crap like that.

You forgot this:

“Damn Haley and his inability to run the LJ/Charles Wildcat EVERY PLAY OF THE GAME. Everyone knows all of our QB’s suck and we don’t have the offensive line to pass protect, so we should doubt the NFC Champion Offensive Coordinator and abandon all QB/WR hope.”

Or something like that. Again, great post. =)

I think it was more for the all-around qualities of Savage. Won’t win a straight-line foot race with Charles, but for 10 yards, his quickness is comparable, he can catch the ball on the move (maybe better than Charles), AND he can run between the tackles and make more yards after contact.

Firing an OC who’s ego allowed him to turn a sow’s ear into a silk.

We don’t know how this will work out. I do know that Haley is the coach and was hired to do what he thinks is best for the team. There is no way to prove that Chan Gailey would do any more for this offense than Haley will. And don’t throw The Arrowspread at me as an excuse for how brilliant Chan Gailey is. New regime with new idea. They ddidn’t HAVE to keep Gailey in the first place and inthe end, they didn’t.

Alienating veteran leadership day one.

How so? By letting Brian Waters know who is in charge of the team? As far as I can tell Brian Waters threw a little bitch fit, got over it and is still playing t a pretty high level. Also, he isn’t running his mouth. He is showing up and playing. Brian Waters is now doing what he is supposed to be doing; his job.

Playing little league mind games with Bowe and DJ and not getting JACKSHIT more out of them than they have always produced.

Little League mind games? Says who? Generally employees who do a bad job get repremanded. Those who do a terrible job after being warned get fired. As for the players not procing anymore than usual…we will see how the rest of the season goes but right now D-Bowe hasn’t dropped a ball and DJ has had the two most consistant games he has ever had as a Chief. So right now it looks like you are wrong.

Benching one of two o-weapons in J Charles to play Savage a guy not fit for Canadian football.

Yeah. Except for the fact that Savage performed at a high level in place of Charles…Charles who usually follows up the few good runs he has had with a fumble. Give me a breakon Chrles. Potential doesn’t mean shit if you can’t hold on to the ball and don’t get it done on the field. Prsumably Todd Haley knows a little bit more about football and both these athletes than you do. If Savage went out their and layed an egg it might be a different story. You can’t fault a guy for playing a guy who does well. Then again, maybe you have been watching too much Canadian Football.

And finally just being an arrogant incompetent a-hole

Absurd statment. Have you ever met Todd Haley? I have heard him described as level headed, thoughtful and passionate. From both his GM and former players. As for him being incompetent, he must have some ability to coordinate an offense to the Super Bowl and have them nearly beat the best defense in the league.

The only thing that is little league is your arguments and their lack of substance and evidence. You think Haley is arrogant for telling Brian Waters he didn’t have time to meet with him because as a vet and a leader? That he showed disrespect to Waters? How about the disrespect Waters showed showing up demanding a meeting and then bitching to a reported about wanting a trade. I know everytime my boss gives me some shit I run to a reporter and cry about it. I do that to show my great leadership.

Give me a break.

Unfortunately it is likely to get worse before it gets better. I lvoe the improvment the team showed against the Raiders but they very well may take a step back against the Eagles. Even if they do not take a step back it may APPEAR that the team is taking a step back due to the talents of their opponent. Hopefully the team will put things together more rapidly and steal a win from one of these NFC East teams.

I keep thinking back to the year Marty took over the Redskins and they started off 0-8. The team then finally bought in to Marty and they finished the season 5-3. Snyder, being the moron that he is, fired Marty. Marty is a very good coach and I think he can get just about any team winning. His failures in the playoffs aside, he is a great coach.

But it doesn’t happen over night. I have no idea if Haley will go on to be a great coach. All I know is that I like what I see, I like his no nonsense attitute, his work ethic and that he isn’t going to turn the team around in 2 games.

I’ll rec you for it
