Does Todd Haley have a Mental Disorder

The most infamous start of Haley's career was his argument with Anquan Boldin. Within a year of coaching, he broke a golden rule of NFL coaches and refused to shake hands with Josh McDaniels. This was not McDaniels first outing against Haley. However, during this outing Haley accused Josh McDaniels of spying / cheating on the Chiefs and their gameplan. His warning to McDaniels was that everyone was on to him.

This is a sign of paranoia. But it has its own right. McDaniels was part of SpyGate. But so was Pioli, the man who hired him.

Todd Haley refuses to shake Josh McDaniels hand (via astroph)

During the Famous Monday Night Overtime Win, Haley decides to chew out whatever coach is on his headset (most likely it is Steve Hoffman, the special teams coach ) saying the F-bomb clearly to a fellow coach. Again, even the most controversial coaches treat their fellow coaches like they are on the same team. This is another sign of him not acting like a leader but a spoiled child.

This is how Todd Haley talks to his coaches. (via seahawks4life34)

Haley clearly picks a fight with Bill Muir in this video and walks off. Muir, a veteran coach, seems furious at Haley's childish actions at this point. Haley went through 4 Offensive Co-ordinaters in 4 years. It became apparent in the offseason , after Weis left, that no assistant coach wanted to be in Kansas City with Haley.

Taking it one step further, Charlie Weis notified the press that he would become the Offensive Coordinater of Florida 2 weeks before the playoffs began. Why?

It would make sense if Weis was going to become the Head Coach of a college team with re-cruiting. But Florida and Weis making this knowledge public showed that Weis had enough of Haley and the Chiefs.

According to several first hand blog reports (all which came on different sights around the same time), Haley was at the Cigar Box and drunk with his friends. A group of Chiefs fans were in the table near-by and Haley felt that they were giving him and his family funny looks. Haley errupted on them and started to pick a fight. The police were called in and no report was made. The Chiefs PR team stated that Haley and his family just happened to be near an encounter despite the rumors that Haley was actually involved.

Buzz about Haley and incident at Cigar Box (via NBCActionNews)

Then there was an incident involving John Harbaugh during a pre-season game. One where Haley was trying to pick a fight w/ his fellow AFC Coach about how he was doing his job (after the Chiefs were beaten by the Ravens 2 consecutive times). Again Haley's mind wasn't where it should have been. It was at the blame of someone else instead of taking it in internally.

Nestor asks Harbaugh about Todd Haley's angst (via WNST)

Perhaps Haley wasn't made to be a head coach. He was simply a man that didn't have the mental capacity that a head coach of a promising franchse? Even the tiny details... Haley's appearance as a bum on the sideline during practices and meetings. His quietness during halftime. His lack of motivation to take Tyler Palko out of the game.

Haley said in various interviews that he felt like he was going to get fired last season. And after the Baltimore game. He let Jim Zorn take over the QB coaching. In THE WAR ROOM Haley notes that he isn't able to coach a quarterback. That Zorn was the answer.

But during this argument look at Zorn and look at Haley. Look at McClain , not telling his Quarterback to settle down but his coach. There weren't small issues with Haley coaching the Chiefs. There were MAJOR ones.

The point is that there’s a difference between saying “f-bombs” within sentences and saying “f – you”…. especially when you’re a boss. I’ve had bosses that were crazy like that. Lets just say that a) i didn’t work their for long b) the company didn’t succeed.

Haley seemed to be a cancer. Look at how different the team acted once he left. No one seemed to be shaken by the move.

Maybe they really like Crennel and were fighting for his job?
Or maybe they were happy to get a real QB on the field?

He let Jim Zorn take over the QB coaching.

Does Pioli pay well for this kind of thing?

Many fans here saw Denver playing that first series like they knew the Chiefs’ every move. I will always admire Haley for the finger wag. Every OC change has a perfectly logical explanation. I hope Crennel keeps Muir just so you don’t have to worry about his sanity.

After that, this article plunges into blatant attack mode pretty quickly. You act like coaches never get upset or say the F-word. Follow some other coach around for 3 years. Is Gunther Cunningham mental ill? How about Hue Jackson? Rex Ryan?

I do have to give you credit, however. The timing was impeccable. Exactly when all eyes are on Pioli, Haley again becomes the problem.

Shackett is just putting his ideas down in a post................there are two sides to a story

….Whether we agree or not is a whole different story. I do see Haley as a Skitzo ; ) oopps sorry about that. No, I really do think Haley had some paranoia going on. Maybe it is part of his DNA or maybe he was driven to it by “inner” pressures. Haley always seemed like a spoiled kid to me, the “country club” upbringing type thing.

Who knows what really has happened. I personally don’t think he has a disorder, I do believe he had,

And that's fine

Perhaps the dude burned out and Pioli began to clash w/ him.

But my point is that the Phone Tapping charge is pretty intense. Phone tapping federal crime that involves prison time.

Now lets think of what we know logically….

1. Haley thought he was being phone tapped. He decided to tell this to Kent Babb (not veteran Adam Tiecher) prior to being fired after the Jets horrible loss.
2. He brough Babb aside in the CHIEFS conference room to tell him that he was worried about the place being bugged. Now… if you thought , logically, that a place was being bugged ….why would you EVER tell a person who works for the MEDIA that theory in a place that you claimed was bugged?

3. Reports loomed in that Haley said something about Bowe in an argument during practice before the Jets game. Those words were the final straw between Pioli and Haley. Within the same week, Haley decides to confront a journalist and tell him everything he knows about the Chiefs “evil” organization ?

To me …. Babb = Haley’s voice and frustration. Babb has an inside contract with Haley and because Haley has an NDA, Babb writes quotes anonymously.

Do I believe that rooms have high security in them? Yes. And they probably should. You should watch what happens in locker rooms. If a fight breaks out, you should know how it happened. Pioli nor his staff have time to watch every minute of every day.

But Phone Tapping….. ( See DELUSIONS)

I find it odd that there seems to be so much animosity towards Haley NOW, yet a year ago when he didn’t shake McHoodie’s hand he was practically revered for it

when he had the pre-season blowup with Harbaugh and the Ravens, etc, he was merely being “competitive” … anything that’s ever happened on the sidelines was a result of his “passion for the game”

now, suddenly, he’s attacked by virtually everyone …

regarding Pioli, I do have one question: how much “proof” of abuse or endangerment does Social Services require before removing a child from the parents/home? I ask because all too often I read of children who end up dead (or nearly so) and in the article it often says that “protective services had been called in the past” … so what proof is needed? a body?

I'm not really sure about the CPS analogy

But usually children don’t go to the media. They go to the authorities with these things. Whether it was the Police or the NFL itself.

It’s not like Haley doesn’t come from nowhere. His father is NFL pedigree. He’s one of 32 coaches in the NFL.

What would Pioli , Haley’s boss, get from wire tapping his phone. Extra info on the game plan? He already gets that in the film room…. What Haley really thinks of him? It’s pretty certain that Pioli already knew that.

The point being was that Haley wasn’t that great of a coach to command so much inside interest from. His personal life or way he handled things was also on the table for everyone to see.

Heh you definitely have a selective memory, ups

There was always plenty of animosity toward Haley. It waxed and waned depending on how well our guys were playing. But you can’t possibly mis-remember things to the point of thinking it was all sunshine and puppy dogs regarding Haley here around AP and elsewhere.

I spent a good deal of time defending the guy against some pretty rampant bashing, even at times when I wasn’t really in support of him or his actions – just because the Haley-bashing was so vicious at times.

let me put it this way: I did NOT like Haley when he first got here and played Mr Hardass Guy and said so … and was summarily blasted from all sides by a bazillion people for saying that

second year Haley was the ultimate here … what I noticed was a softening in his stance, the going to movies thing, remember that? indeed, I noticed a change in him halfway thru 2009 (and mentioned it several times then and later) … in 2010 the team played hard for him and we got to the playoffs (despite having a team in need of more talent, primarily because of a supersoft schedule, but hey … we won the games we needed to win)

and indeed, I ended up changing my mind and thinking “well, sees like Haley is learning from his mistakes yadda yadda” … again, the point is that he was vigorously defended and promoted by a LOT of people … at least so long as the team was winning

I’m not a fan of witch hunts. In either direction. Just how even though I don’t think Cassel should be “the guy” as the locked-in guaranteed starting QB, I’m not going to call him names and act like a spoiled child about it – something that goes on an awful lot around here. I’ll just say that I hope the front office gets us some better candidates to compete with him, and that the coaches develop and promote accordingly, because I’d like to win and do it consistently.

But you have a side of the story that you already *want* to be true

So you only perceive the opposite side more.

There’s just as many on both sides. Some creaming for Pioli’s head no matter what. And some vehemently defending the guy, no matter what.

People all too often predetermine what they want to be true and then only see the things they want to see that back up that desire. Very few want to just find out things as they actually happened. There’s that ingrained need to be “right” that is much more important than the need to find out the truth.

Anyone who thinks Pioli can do no wrong no matter what is going to only really take note of those calling for his head, and tend to minimize in their minds the others who are also 110% pro-Pioli. And those who are on a constant witch hunt are only going to note those defending Pioli, and in their minds they see some lopsided ratio of defenders vs detractors.

I dunno.

I think Haley has a pretty thick skin, and when he’s with his guys, he dishes it out and can take it. But not everybody responds to a guy being blunt with them. Haley wanted guys who’d respond positively to his sharp tongue. I think you get all kinds and need to coach all kinds. That doesn’t mean treating people differently, but it does mean taking an approach that sets standards AND shows respect.

I think that’s where Crennel comes in. I just hope he can walk that line, and still demand and receive the best from his guys. Sometimes a player’s coach is wildly popular, but through no apparent fault of his own, people get hurt, because they’re not training and conditioning properly.

"Haley clearly picks a fight with Bill Muir in this video and walks off. Muir, a veteran coach, seems furious at Haley's childish actions at this point. Haley went through 4 Offensive Co-ordinaters in 4 years."

You can find video of Parcells shoving Haley when they were with Dallas if you look for it. And Haley didn’t go through 4 O coordinators in 4 years, A. He wasn’t here 4 years and B. He only went through Muir, Weis and Gailey.

If you’re going to write an attack article at least get the facts correct.

Without Haley the following does not happen...

Derrick Johnson becoming one of the top MLB in the NFL
Bowe becoming a true #1 WR
Charles becoming the runner he his now
Excellent conditioning program

Arguably our three best players (Hali as a OLB wouldn’t have been good regardless) are what they are because of Haley. Whether people realize it or not, that’s the purpose of coaching and Haley (not Crennel, not Pioli, not anyone else) got them were they are today. As a chief fan, I’m thankful for making these players what they are and not simply lost talents.

Isn’t making players better the principle quality of a good coach? Without Haley, DJ and Bowe would be under darker skies and Charles a situational 3rd down back at best.

how the hell do we know?

Dj bowe and everyone else only are where they are because of haley? Cassel had a great year under weis, and crennel has a huge impact on defense. Haley may get some credit,but shouldnt get all or even most. He hasnt been stable since he has been here. I liked him but we never seemed to be a fully functioning team. Yo-Yo is what we were

Good stuff

Haley just doesn’t know how to work with people. Ironically, he claims he was in a toxic environment, ha. Glad this dudes not around anymore.

Hey ain't Missouri one of the biggest Meth places around? Haley kinda looks like he

found a supply. I don’t think they piss test coaches, do they? And Meth is known to create mental disorders. Har Har

FWIW

Haley looks more like a coke head than a meth head.

Nicknames I have coined:

Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'
Shaun Smith = 'Big Nasty'
Kelly Gregg = 'Old Gregg'

The guy did a lot for the KC Community

and we still have dbags trying to put devil horns on him because he didn’t like how he ran an entertainment business.

Jesus, I’d gtfo here too.

Best wishes Haley, sorry you weren’t a good fit here.

oh, I think Cassel, Palko and some of the other players did that quite nicely w/o help from Haley

Good Grief

Who’s the conspiracy theorist here? Kent Babb being a reporting or you guys who want to call Todd Haley a nutjob and discredit Kent Babb altogether? Here’s the fact. This idea of paranoia has existed before Kent Babb’s story. Jim Trotter blurted it out during an interview on Nick Wright’s show. That’s a guy for Sports Illustrated. Quit being “Likes to go there guy”. The victim is not always at fault. The media is not always wrong. Get real.

I’d say it must be nice to be on the Chiefs payroll, but those people hate their job.

random and or related thoughts on these video clips...

1: Why would anyone want to shake hands with someone you suspect of cheating? Especially if they just beat you.

2: How many times has anyone of us has wanted to tell a co-worker F-You?
Or maybe Norv or Rivers was on the line :)

3: Maybe confrontation is Haley’s best (only?) motivational tactic?

4: A show of hands; who here hasn’t gotten drunk in the P&L and ended up on KCTV5?

5: I just don’t like or care about the Ravens, well not so much the team mostly #52.

6: I really liked that he got into Cassel’s face for that stupid play instead of running for the endzone. I recall cussing at the TV also.

avtually he ended up taking all the players to the movies ... twice I believe, had a "movie night" (that horrible, awful, mean Haley)

and allowed the players to play Cornhole in the locker room … how horrible of him! and got upset at his players, yeah … tragic right there, not a single coach in the NFL has ever done that

just look at Hoodie: all smiles all the time
