The Kansas City Chiefs introduced former player Emmitt Thomas to the coaching staff yesterday afternoon. Conducting a press conference with head coach Todd Haley, offensive coordinator Charlie Weis and defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel, here's what was sitting at the table yesterday afternoon (courtesy Josh Looney at KCChiefs.com):
- 12 Super Bowl rings
- 823 regular season wins
- 39 playoff appearances
- 102 years of NFL experience
- One Pro Football Hall of Fame Bust (Notice the HOF ring on Thomas' hand)
Yes, Josh. Holy crap is right.

All I can think is...
Lets Get Ready To Rumble!
Screw the super bowl, bring on free agency and the draft!
┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐
Coaching staff
I can feel the momentum & the positive confidence ; from this coaching staff ! Go Chiefs !
If I was a Chief or a FA
I would either be pumped to get to the offseason so I can obsorb all the knowledge possible that these guys have to pass on…. or I would really want to sign with the Chiefs
Man crush on Eric Berry.
+1
So you think you are so important that no one can replace you? Put your finger in a bucket of water and pull it out. Does it leave a hole? Nope, just some ripples that eventually calm themselves!

Pioli should be in that picture
I like the direction we are heading off the field. Hope everyone wil mesh and work well together. Now, let’s hope that Pioli will deliever more talent.
It’s tough for coaches to make chicken salad, out of chicken S***!
LETS GO CHIEFS
just ask Casey Printers about that!
* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* Pioli will make at least one trade in the offseason, and 2 trades during the draft
* I'd prefer "lightning and lightning" as opposed to "lightning and thunder" when it comes to RBs
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
My excitement has turned into the runs!
I need Depends….
Winning begins with Attitude - Haley and Pioli will be winners in KC!
I'll forever be a Chiefs fan! Only God himself could take that away from me, but when I get to my great reward, I'll rejoin two bigger fans, my Mom and Dad.

Lets not forget Thomas as a head coach also
I believe he was “interim” for the Falcons for a little while. That’s 4 Head Coaches sitting at that table.

If we have any players that do not buy in know, they never will.
As a player showing up for practice you better work hard and do your job or you will have to anwer to these guys.
Our head coach has just gotten a lot better. Haley has assembled one of the strongest coaching staffs in the NFL. These guys will help him a lot.
I was a little concerned over the Gailey fiasco last year and was concerned that Haley felt he could do everything better himself. These hires show clearly that Haley knows that these guys can help and that he is striving to become a better head coach. I am truly excited about the direction that the Chief’s franchise is moving.
if they dont buy in then let them walk
the entire team should be pumped up and excited for this coaching staff, lets just hope the fan base buys in as well and gets behind the team again.
Warriors come out and play
Not to mention...
…that’s 15 TRIPS to the Super Bowl, when you include Weis & Crennel’s first stint with NE in 96, and Haley with the Cardinals in 08.
My long, drawn-out predictions that no one cares about, nor will bother to remember:
1. Todd Haley will still be the Chiefs Head Coach up to the 2011 season.
2. Clancy Pendergast won't make it to the 2010 season and was never intended to. Last-minute hire for a position that needed to be filled.
3. Todd Haley will not be the OC at the start of the 2010 season.
Playoff Coaching Experiance
Thomas – 11 years
Haley – 4 years
Weis – 7 years
Crennel – 12 years
34 years of playoff coaching experience, aint too shabby!

Looking at Haley's face in that picture....
you think he just looked down the table at those guys and came in his pants? LMAO

When is the last time you can remember that you've seen a Chiefs press conference
with a table full of coaches smiling and laughing? Secondly everyone was worried about all that money that was left over for the Free Agents, etc. You want to know where that extra money went? Look at the picture. I know somebody here at AP is making a deal with the Kool Aid company to buy in bulk this year.
Yeah, let's just keep matriculatin' the ball down the field, boys! ...
The previous regime
How did the previous regime stack up? Edwards, Gailey, Gunther and whoever our b-backs coach was under Herman = how many Super Bowls, playoff appearances, wins, etc combined?
Throw Peterson and Pioli in the mix too, and compare the current braintrust to the previous brainless mistrust, and it shows what a vast improvement has been made.
It’s going to take some time, but this group will get the job done, and has proven that they know how to win in the NFL.

Longtime reader
I read AP every day. The comments are rare. But this…
…is exciting! I don’t know about kool-aid. Those are some serious stats. I’d like to see how that stacks up to other coaching staffs in the league. How ‘bout an infamous spreadsheet. We’re liable to stack up in the top 5 in the league in something other than ineffectiveness.
