After watching him for two weeks, I’m worried about his safety. He’s liable to snap one time too often at the wrong player and have that player go all Latrell Sprewell on him. It’s one thing to coach with passion; it’s another to lose your composure.

People act like he's a constant tyrant on the sidelines
The only times I’ve seen him blow his top is after a player makes a dumb decision on the field.

I haven't really said anything about hating pioli
But, yet again, people take the liberty of putting words into my mouth… and I don’t hate haley. I just don’t think his style will be successful, and there’s not point in arguing about it because the only thing that will determine who is right and who is wrong will be wins and losses

I like how you talk yourself up about being the only person
on this board to have ever led men into combat. If you have ever seen combat you would know its loud, chaotic, and can be confusing as hell. Then you go on to bitch about how Haley needs to stay calm its managment 101 crap. You say there is no room for this kind of behaivor in any work enviroment.
Let me tell you, when your adrenaline is pumping and the bullets are flying ( or footballs in Haley’s case) you will be fired up. Cussing, yelling, and generally getting in the face of your soldiers ( players) is acceptable in the heat of the battle (game). Now if your soldiers are doing what is expected of them with out being told then there is no reason to yell at them. But if they are fucking up they could end up getting thier buddies killed (losing the game). In circumstances such as these your politically correct kill them with kindness approach will probably not net you the desired results.

I believe a team takes on the personality of its head coach — good, bad, calm or nervous, serious or indifferent. The manner in which the head coach conducts business is the way the players will conduct their own business with each other. Professional football is not high school. Players are adults and should be treated in a respectful manner – this was part of his article too and if haley did things this way he would just be slappin guys on the hand when ever they mess up screw that these are grown men who have played this game long enough they know its a mean game ….. like people sayin the army dont take it personal.
And that's why
all these professionals were in just as good a physical shape this year as last year. They know they play better when they’re in shape, so that’s why Haley didn’t need to make it a priority. That’s why everyone is at the same playing weight as last year.
This crap is pathetic. People respond to expectations, even professionals. And Haley is calm compared to coaches like Cowher. I’m tire of this garbage. I’m still not sure if Haley is going to be a great coach or not, but I’m hopeful and I’m not going to make up crap to put him down.

I think
Haley is completely IN control actually. He knows what he’s doing. He’s building a core of tough, do it the right way players. He’s building a group of guys he can’t lose. You watch. You’ll see his attitude completely change in the next year or so. He’s building a base of a team to build on. A base of guys that do it so well that when new guys come in they know “This is the way we do it here.”
Ha.
I know doubt understand that but remember how many guys were on this team last year and aren’t on any teams this year. If we didn’t do something drastic and soon, it may have been a long time since we won a game, let alone become a respectable team. When one of your “star” players on defense gets cut before the season and doesn’t get signed, you have to realize we were in worse shape than we thought.
Remember how many guys were on this team last that aren't on any team this year.

People act like just because Haley and Pioli are here that we are automatically a million times better.
Thats not the case folks. We’re as bad or worse than we were last year.
People keep talking about all the guys not on the roster anymore. Well of course not. Has everyone forgotten the kind of garbage they were having to put on the roster because there was no talent left over from the Vermeil regime? Once those veterans retired, there was NO ONE on this roster left over to play.
At least Haley has some building blocks left over from the Herm years. Who did Herm have?
He had...
shields for his first season. Herm by far inherited a better football team than Haley. Don’t forget about Jared Allen.
by I_Bleed_Red. on Sep 23, 2009 11:50 PM CDT up reply actions
The team was already disintegrating when Harm came along, imo.
I think that was part of Vermeil’s decision to move on. Harm got the 10-6 season Vermeil prob’ly would’ve gotten, and an early playoff exit, on a team that was on its way down. They’d made their push and already fallen short, imo.
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
Peterson was struggling to rebuild.
But he probably would’ve done an OK job building a competitive roster that would play .500 ball, and Herm could’ve coached ’em up to play .500 ball. Get our hopes up in a 10-6 or 11-5 season, with a typically rapid exit from the playoffs.
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
Really?
Herm would have coached them “up”? Herm never coached any team “up”. Not one. He took over a Parcells team with the Jets that was playoff ready, got them to the playoffs as expected and then promptly ran that team into the ground. He took a playoff ready team in KC and promptly ran them downhill.

Herm had..

I am far less worried
about how long it takes to win A game than about how soon we can have a team that wins consistently. I believe we are building a basis for a team that wins a lot and that starts with Haley (well, actually Pioli). The thing that I think people miss is he is not ALL yelling. He spends as much or more time giving praise (and as players make the plays better there will be more reason to give praise) and guess what….he yellls that too. It just drives me nuts that people make this type of statement:
I have not been in the locker room, nor have I talked to Chief players. Maybe during the week Haley does keep his composure, and maybe be does teach in a calm, respectful manner. But when the bullets are flying and the game is on the line, clear and precise thought requires a calmness and composure.Because the assumption in an article like this is that he is in the pissed off yelling demeanor all the time and I don’t think that’s the way it is at all. And stating that you have to be calm and composed during a game…look at the shouting match with Boldin that everyone points to. When did that happen? In the middle of a 10 minute long game-winning drive for the NFC championship against the Eagles. Haley was totally on top of what he needed to be on top of.
Bottom line….I disagree.
Chiefs go 9-7. LJ makes 1400 yards. DBowe makes 1200 yards. Defense #18.

In the heat of 'battle,'
the best field commanders are usually foul, curt, and downright mean. If I’m Wellington, I want somebody like Haley at sergeant or captain of rifles skirmishing in front of my massed muskets and artillery. And ‘the men’ want somebody tough, like that, 9 times out of 10, but he DOES need to tuck WIN 1 under his belt. This is the toughest part of the grind. The trick is that the men know that the crusty bastard respects them, at heart, but has tough decisions to make.

Yells when you fuck up but praises you when you do well. That’s all we ask for in life. Positive and negative re-inforcement.

Michael Lombardi is a complete idiot.
He writes: “I often compare the NFL to chess.” Oh yeah, the NFL is exactly like chess. Except in chess 300+ pound guys aren’t trying to hit you as hard as they can and injure you if possible. I don’t see many elderly men in parks playing games of tackle football.
Has this guy every played football before? I hate these pencil necks (to be fair Lombardi looks morbidly obese) in the sports media who have never competed at anything a day in their lives complain about what coaches and athletes do.
Yeah, football is exactly like chess. That’s the stupidest comment I’ve read in a very long time.
Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.
Why doesn't that line of reasoning
Apply to Todd Haley. You’d never know it from watching him belittle players on the sidelines, but he never played football. Haley was a golfer. A golfer who never quite “made it.”
Look, I support Haley. But to say that someone who never played football at a high level can’t understand the game is—especially in a conversation about Todd Haley—kind of silly on its face.

I don't know what your getting so excited about...
Not sure exactly what you think that statement proves, Just because athletes like golf doesn’ t mean being a college golfer qualifies you to be an NFL coach….
Golf is still a competitive sport. Chess isn't.
I’d much rather have to fight Bobby Fisher than Tiger Woods.
Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.
Tiger woods is kind of an anomaly
Frankly, I’m kind of a big dude, and wouldn’t want to fight tiger woods…. he’s pretty cut up….. Either way, I think now, you’re just saying stuff to contradict anything I may say… but hey we all evidently like games…. I’d lump golf in with nascar, it’s a skill, but I’m not sure I’m ready to call it a sport anyway…. There are very few correlations between an indivudial sport in golf, and a team sport in football. (I mostly say that about golf, because I’ve been playing for about 6 years and still can’t break 90…. damned ball… get in your hole….)

Snippet of bio.
Lombardi headed the Oakland Raiders’ and Cleveland Browns’ personnel departments and also worked with the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles and Denver Broncos.
Taken from National Football Post. He’s been around, some. Probably worked in the league before some of our members were born.
That being said, I often think he’s just taking a very superficial perspective, and mouthing things he’s heard others say, like we sometimes hear on AP, a day or two after an article comes out, and you hear people paraphrasing the article as if the words are their own, original thoughts. ;o)
Just remember, Mills. Pointing a finger at someone else means 3 fingers are pointed back atcha!
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
That's why I point at people Drill Sergeant style.
With all four fingers. Takes that saying and throws it in the trash.

My 4-finger point is kind of icky, with ring and pinky fingers like Brian Baldinger's.
So I’ll never do the 4-finger point. But I get YOUR point.
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
I agree, Lombardi is an idiot. This isn't the first year that Haley has coached and
past players are coming to KC to play and several key Arizona guys have indicated that they would not mind playing for him. This is BS and Lombardi is just completely stupid. He probably grew up in a “never raise your voice” type environment/family and is a total wimp. “Lombardi, stay away from KC, we sure as hell don’t need your kind.”
Could probably leave it at this
I have not been in the locker room, nor have I talked to Chief players.
Slow news week, I guess.
"Slow News Week"
was the title of the comment I came in here to make, Scuba.

Haha yeah...
That’s like that one lady who was on CNN bashing a video game and said “well, I’ve never played it or seen anything from it…but I’ve heard about it.” Really? So Lombardi has watched Haley blow up a few times and without asking any players or being in the locker room of any games…forms an opinion and posts it? That’s called “stupid” to me.
Penn State to Kansas City...Always a winning combination.
He's just playing off the negative nancy's elsewhere.
Lombardi leads the news wave by jumping on after the wave has passed.

thank you stag
lombardi doesn’t know ketchup from mustard – honestly, his resume is bullshit and i’ve watchd him on Inside the NFL and through NFL Network and some of the things he has said always puzzled me.
With that being said, I don’t know how many times this year we are going to have a week where all we do is bitch about a loss. But when we win, we’ll still bitch, because that’s what being a fan is all about. Listen, this team hit rock bottom the past few years and every one of you know that we’ve looked better in the last two games then we have in recent memory. (queue the picture of the dead horse from southpark) Rome wasn’t built in a day, there are 14 more games this season to see what Haley can do. With a tough schedule, we will get a very clear look at just that. How we play against great teams, how Haley reacts to losing those games or winning them for that matter. What are you supposed to do when you coach a team, not yell at your players? You kidding me? The guy doesn’t hold anything back, and for that, I envy him, very much. At the same time, you will never hear Haley not praise the good or tell his player he is doing his job the right way. He probably LOVES to do that, and you can see with last years run in Arizona him and Fitzgerald had a great relationship because he saw his coaching paid off and gave that team a much better chance to win games.
This team needs time to become great, and it will…but you can’t rag on a guy because he’s not afraid to show his emotions.

We have no pretensions here on AP, and we constantly rip each other when we’re off-base. The point here is that Lombardi’s authority (in terms of authoritative source) is pretty much discredited. Same as us, he ain’t in the lockerroom. Different from us, he isn’t chasing after every single morsel of news available.
He’s a paid expert. None of us are. And we’re pretty much coming to the conclusion as a group that he knows LESS than we do about the things that matter to us.

Insecure. Unstable. Inept. I never saw a person struck out on live tv before, will be interesting

Everybody wants to believe in the new regime. The new all that’s good, the former all that’s bad. I think Pioli can get the job done, Haley ? Well before midseason we will see his little pinhead pop like a pimple. Mid scream.

This team is without question better than it was last year
I know the record doesn’t show it yet, but with exception to the TE (a big exception, mind you), we are FAR better at pretty much every position.
I think Haley will mellow a bit as he goes along. Being intense is just his style. It works for some coaches (Cowher) but not for others (Dungy). Unless he turns into Bo Pelini and gets a penalty for screaming, I think we’re going to be OK.
Give the “process” time. Despite Whitlock’s best efforts, this team will come together by the end of the season when the schedule lightens up.
Gee guys you're right
Haley is GREAT!!! He is the combination of Hank Stram and Bill Walsh and Bill Cowher—accept he’s a winless idiot.
Yep, there it is!
The already tired “winless” toss away critique. Seriously? Would it be great if we were 2-0 or 1-1? Yes. But, it is extreme to nth degree to be bitching about being winless already. It’s only 2 games in and look at the team we had to start with.

I’m going to tell yall what the problem is every sense we’ve gotten our new GM an HC because of where they came from we expect sucess asap man look our “D” is looking okay but (it was Oakland) we can say somthing after this weekend but we making ourselfs think it automatic success and its not just give Pioli &Co. some time yall see what we do “patience”.
In the immortal words of Coach Dennis Green...
“They are who we thought they were”
Todd Terrific
He’s great, he fires the OC and the offense not only goes in the toilet but he blows crucial end of half goal line costing the team the winning points. Maybe he shouldn’t be active this week.
It wasn't that much better...
But Gailey deserved to keep his job…. he took a team with little or no talent that couldn’t move the ball and installed an offense in just a couple of weeks that moved the football. It’d be pretty hard right now to discredit what gailey did for us last year.
There are two ways of seen how an OC should work. One says you should have a system and acquire the right players, the other says you take the talent you have and you make something work… he obviosly did the second piece last year.
it wasn't a case
Of Chan not deserving to keep his job or not being a good OC. It is a case of there is a difference in play calling philosophy between Haley and Gailey which was causing Haley undo tension so he made the decision to go on without Chan. Just another step in making things go the direction that Haley wants them to go. And if you noticed yesterday Andy Reid says he thinks Haley is doing things the right way. But then you probably think Reid doesn’t know anything either.
Chiefs go 9-7. LJ makes 1400 yards. DBowe makes 1200 yards. Defense #18.

It’s funny that it was Andy reid of all people, because someone asked me the type of guy I wanted coaching the chiefs, I brought up rex ryan…. and Andy Reid… just a little too damned convienent… The Gods of football just wanted to piss on me this day…. so basically, I’m going to put my fingers in my ears and say la la la la la I didn’t hear anything… ha
That play...
was on Cassel dumping it off to Savage. It was a mental mistake by him. Was there really any doubt this team was going to have growing pains? It is hard to turn over a 53 man roster in one offseason. I always say there is a 3 year rule. 3 offseasons really to get your personal in place and the kind of talent you want. I personally think we can win the AFC west after one more offseason.

I'll quit complaining...
when the players start f-ing up. And I’ll start complaining if I don’t see the HC trying to correct the f-ups. This team is young and it is lacking talent. Haley has already shown that he can get more talent out of our more marquis players in Bowe and DJ then Herm ever could. Larry Fitzgerald would not be who he is today without Todd Haley. If you watch inside the NFL on Showtime they did a bit in week 1 where they miked up all of the new coaches. I think there were like 8 first time head coaches this year. Anyway, after watching it I’m more convinced that we got the right guy for the job. He was the only one they showed who was trying to get the most out of his players. Guys like Spagnola, McDaniels, Schwartz, and Cable looked lost. I like Rex in NY, but I really like how Haley motivates and drives players to become better. I also think his gameplan against the Steelers in the Superbowl was genius.

Lombardi & Walsh
I’ve thrown down a couple of comments on Lombardi’s article. I don’t mind opposing opinions. Lombardi’s a Bill Walsh disciple and pretty much disapproves of everything the Chiefs are doing. Some of which I can see his POV, don’t agree with all of it, but I can respect it. On the “character issues” crap he published and “Haley has no composure” he’s off the reservation though.
Has this guy ever seen Parcells or Coughlin during a game?
The biggest threat to Haley’s career is winning games, not losing his composure (which I don’t think he has done so far). And we need a few more than two games to decide whether he can do that.
I'm starting to think
AP gets paid per comment… Has anyone else noticed the influx of haley/anti-haley articles posted lately… I think they want to stir the pot…. ha
That & the QB controversy!
LOL!!!
I noticed that yesterday, all of the Star writers tried to create a controversy from 3 different angles. Probably got a few more hits yesterday than what they normally get. Without controversy or differing views there aren’t as many views of the views, so to say!
As far as AP getting paid per comment, I haven’t a clue; although if they do, your persistence in “stirring the pot” should get you a commission! j/k (kinda)
