Chiefs Coach Doesn't Want You Feeling Sorry For Him

by Joel Thorman on Feb 26, 2010 7:37 AM CST in 2010 Kansas City Chiefs Season

We've got a great story coming from Bob LeGere of the Daily Herald this morning (via NJ Chiefs Fan in Arrowheadlines of course).

LeGere sat down with Giants offensive line coach Pat Flaherty and Cardinals offensive line guru Russ Grimm. Flaherty said he spoke with Chiefs head coach Todd Haley following the Giants victory over the Chiefs in week four.

"I told Todd his team really played hard for him and they were doing great," Flaherty said. "Well, you know how Todd is. He said, ‘(Blank) you, Flats. Don't feel sorry for us. I don't care if they play hard, I want them to play good."

"So I told him, ‘(Blank) you, too Todd,' " Flaherty said with a laugh.

To be honest, Haley seems like a guy I would want to hang out with.

It's great to again have an easily fired up HC.

I love me some Todd Haley!

Awesome!

Love to hear that, great to know we got a head coach who isnt going to take pity!

Regardless of who the Chiefs pick at #5 overall, Whitlock will call it the worst pick in the history of the Chiefs. Heres to hoping that #5 pick runs Whitlock out of town.....

I like Haley

As a coach… I try not to cuss like that, but take the same approach to how things should be done on the team.

But… cussing can be funny sometimes.

Great passion

That is passion to me. He just projects it in a different manner than most.

Reminds me of Peyton Manning or Tim Tebow. The passion for winning is so strong with them. They would do absolutely anything to win the football game.
If they lose they can’t hardly deal with it.

I love that in Todd Haley. He wants the Chiefs to win so bad that he won’t accept moral victories. He wants W’s!

To be honest, Haley seems like a guy I would want to hang out with.

This I totally agree with. I love watching his press conferences. He has a great semi-hidden sense of humor always going on and to me he seems pretty down to earth. I have never understood the hatred and vitriol so many of our fellow fans and the local press have towards him.

I also think he’s going to prove to be a great coach.
