Chiefs Hire Charlie Weis Approval Poll

And 43 votes before somebody makes a comment?

Similar offensive style to Haley will make the transfer smooth. Plus he has a good track record with QBs. Can’t wait to see our offense next season.

Upcoming Notre Dame players in the 2010 draft…..QB Jimmy Clausen, WR Golden Tate, and OT Sam Young! All great players and all from the offensive side of the ball. My January 6th prediction is OT Sam Young around the 4th round.

voted no!!!!!

at the beginning of the season and thats why Haley took over OC so that the team would have a jump start on the offense when Weis got here. Alot of people were expecting Weis to be fired at the end of this last season.

This hiring has to help our odds of taking golden tate in the second round..

Is Weis can just slide into the system thats already in place and run it with very little “overhaul”. For the rest I dont really care one way or the other that he’s hired.

This is an instant solution to the team’s single greatest deficiency; Haley in the three coaching roles of HC, OC, and QBC.

It gives Haley a TON more credibility IMO. He’s admitted a weakness, addressed it in fine fashion and he should have far more time to be the HC next year than he did this year. He got the one man who has the right combination of experience and familiarity with the system Haley wants to run.

Bravo!

On deck… DC

Weis and Romeo- last time they were coordinators together, they won a few games didn’t they?

Be curious to see the results of it after this announcement.

I do think Weis is an upgrade, and I’m certainly happier with Weis as OC than with Haley pulling triple duty, but let’s just say that I’m not expecting any miracles with the offense. But I am glad the Chiefs finally have an OC.

Will he try to keep him? Trade Bowe? Fun is about to begin.

would give us a legitmate WR as well as upgrade the returns 100%…. Oo.

I was originally hesitant to have the Chiefs bring Weis in, due to not wanting to lose the continuity the offense seemed to gain the last few games and having to learn a new system, but after listening to Coach Haley’s press conference, he stated their offensive philosophies are almost identical, so there should be a minimal learning curve, especially for Matt Cassel, who, of course played under him. I think it is the right decison by Haley, to delgate the OC position, and to be just the Head Coach, and I see no power struggles between the two, due to their past relationship. I think Cassel will thrive under Charlie Weis, if given the personel to give him some additional weapons and protection. Look out NFL, this is gonna be one explosive offense! Now, if we can get someone to hold the other team under 30 points, we won’t have a repeat of the Vermeil era, and can be very good on both sides of the ball. The nucleus of a playoff caliber team is there. Pioli and Haley just need to add some pieces, and I trust they will. Can you say playoffs in 2010? Can you say Lombardi Trophy within 3 years? Damn, I’m as optimistic as when Montana and Marcus Allen were brought in, and I think this is even better, with a young team, great leadership, and the potential to be a contender every year. Chiefs, the new dynasty of this decade! Mark it down!!!!

In his last Press Conference, Haley was pressed to say whether or not he would keep Pendergrast, and he moved around the subject fairly well. He sure as hell didn’t endorse him, but was being politically correct in saying “the evaluation period is just beginning, and all coaches, including himself will be evaluated.” I think Mo Carthon is going to learn alot from Haley and Weis, if Weis agrees to keep him on the staff, and he is someday going to be a great OC or even HC. I hope we can keep him around awhile. The players respect him, Haley is in love with him, and with Charlie’s weight issues, he is a stroke or heart attack waiting to happen. Good post about him passing Haley’s conditioning program! My hell, if they also bring in Crennell, those 1,000 lbs. the team lost last season, are going to be made up in two hirings!

It removes pressure from Todd Haley. If all this does is give him more time to do his Head Coaching duties, then it’s a great hire. And the fact that he can rely on Weis to run the same kind of offense and train his guys the way he wants them to be trained is huge.

GREAT hire.

Our coaching staff was thrown together at the last minute and we had to settle. All great teams have good coaching and we have only to go up from here. Haley can’t wear both hats and he needed some one who can bring along Cassel and our recievers. We are not going to stop here….I see a new DC and a bright future.
