No shit, this is a nightmare

So Pioli is angry over what Haley told Babb and now refuses to pay him?

This.

It could have something to do with what was reported here locally in KC by Wright. Haley saying something extremely derogatory to Dwayne Bowe, Pioli hearing about it and telling him he can’t do that, and then Haley continuing to berate Bowe for it.

Not to mention the tanking of games, terrible sideline behavior (I don’t mind fiery, but come on), the weird paranoid rants.

If this is true.

They better be able to prove it, or it’s going to cause them more trouble than it’s worth.

is that we have no idea if this is story is true, and if it is, we have no idea why they’re refusing to pay him.

ROGUE TODD HALEY STRIKES AGAIN

I cannot emphasize how excited and glad I am for the Chiefs front office making this deliberate, full-throttle nose dive straight through the bottom of the barrel. If they don’t pay Todd Haley, his confidentiality clause is void! The ensuing interviews will be gold!

Whoooo!

It's not good press for sure

but how does this mean the organization is tanking?

And so what if Haley goes on the media circuit? What Fescoe just tweeted is completely correct. Pioli shouldn’t have hired him and he should have acted like a freaking adult.

Haley would be an idiot to sign an NDA without a contract guarantee

But who knows if thats part of the contract. Or maybe… maybe the KC Star report broke the NDA he signed and now he won’t get paid. That would at least be reasonable. Right now the Chiefs just look cheap from this news

by Sam D on Jan 26, 2012 7:15 PM CST up reply actions  

The only problem with that is...

Haley spoke with babb before he was fired so the NDA wasn’t even around yet. So the “cause” they say would have to likely be something we don’t know about yet.

by jsChiefs23 on Jan 26, 2012 7:27 PM CST up reply actions  

True, i thought of that after posting it

Still, the details of the NDA could have a bearing on that even if he spoke before he signed it. Maybe it was in his coaching contract not to say things to the media detrimental to the image of the team/FO

by Sam D on Jan 26, 2012 7:32 PM CST up reply actions  

yes that what i think haley might have in his contract

will the chiefs ever draft a Qb in the first round, not since todd blackledge in 83. and the chiefs could of had marino. OH well atleast 65 toss power trap worked for KC, it should be wide open red. Hank stram still the man.

Playing Palko for 4 straight games seems like reasonable cause to me:
He tweets that he is hearing the Chiefs are refusing to pay the final year of Haley’s contract for cause. This has not been confirmed. If that is the case, it means the Chiefs are saying they fired Haley for a specific reason that was problematic to the team, and that they don’t feel like they should have to abide by the contract.

Yes, we have retrospective evidence. We don't know how Palko would have done.

I don’t mind firing a coach if his decisions didn’t work out. That is, of course, why all coaches get fired — they don’t win, presumably because their decisions didn’t work out.

But that doesn’t void your contract and it isn’t cause for not paying someone the last year on the contract.

This is an Al Davis bush league move.

What does this have to do with winning games? How does not paying your ex-HC the last year help you win games? If anything, it makes the jobs on our staff less attractive to future candidates and hurts your team.

by Tarkus on Jan 26, 2012 9:16 PM CST up reply actions  

they've had problems attracting coaches.

they couldn’t give the job(s) away in 2006. after they fired Norv Turner, agents weren’t returning phone calls, nobody would even wanted an interview. after a SIX WEEK hunt, they had to hire Art Shell (he didn’t want the job, just felt it was his duty as a “Raider Legend”) for the second time and Art had to beg Tom Walsh (someone who hadn’t coached any form of football since 1994, he was running a bed and breakfast) to be their OC.

knowing Art Shell was just a 1-year hire, they started their hunt for their next coach in-season and were once again having the same problems. so, they had to overpay a 31-year old to take the job.

by bansky on Jan 26, 2012 11:51 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah, that was pretty bad.

I think they had a few interviews (Martz, Gilbride…maybe Whisenhunt), but they all left NOT wanting the job. I think they were willing to make Petrino the highest paid coach ever, he wanted nothing to do with them.

The Raider’s front office (Mr. Davis) was the cause of that awful streak after going to the Super Bowl.

My theory

Haley knew he was going to be fired at the end of the season. So he started contacting other teams about his availability, including the Cardinals. Pioli found out about it and approached Haley. Bowe was staying late at the office, finalizing his imports for the Jets game. Luckily, he was there to break up the fight. Haley slung some racist slurs at Bowe. Thomas Jones punched a baby. All in all, it got real ugly.

But how did Pioli find out? They must have tapped Haley’s cell phone, because he made all contacts through a personal line, not a company one. Haley went to Babb in trust, but Pioli already had a bug on him. That was the final straw.

Let’s see how long it takes for Nick Wright to tweet this.

Wonder if he had a clause in his contract saying he couldn't talk negative about the Chiefs when he left

and he violated that big time with his interview with Babb.

Also, if they are going to try to prove he tanked games or created a negative environment for players then that could kill Haley’s career.

Babb's story came out after Haley was fired

But the conversation he cites happened before the Jets game. Haley hasn’t spoken with the press since leaving the Chiefs.

Haley never had an official interview with Babb. I am guessing his comments were off the record to Babb.

This Babb article was scathing and detrimental to the team at the worst possible time. And it all started with what Babb claims Haley told him.

The organization, by possibly using this as a contract breaker, may force Haley to come out and deny he said that to Babb if he wants to get paid.

He did...

I don’t know why they keep bringing this up.

What does that have to do with anything?

It is right in his article that Haley told him what he thought, and Haley was STILL the coach of the team, under contract at that time.

Again, speculating that the “cause” to not pay Haley was that he said these negative things to the media about the team while under contract.

What does anything you just said have to do with that?

You say the article started with Haley

It had started way before Haley. Haley allegedly spoke with Babb the week before the Jets game, but Babb had already conducted numerous interviews with current and former business-side employees about the working environment.

I got that

When I say the article “began”, I meant it literally. The article opened with the Haley info.
But it still doesn’t change nor take away from what I said.

Babb “quoted” Haley saying these things while he was with the team. Bottom line

Haley got fired

because his team looked like a bunch of bumbling idiots that couldnt move the ball on a high school team

Well Pioli brought in most of those guys

So does this mean he isn’t taking a paycheck either?

Nick, you just keep throwing shit against the wall like it was allready there.

We know almost no facts. NONE! Yet you are going nuts. Makes no since to me at all.

Who did Pioli bring in? How do you know?

If I had a contract to paint your house and you paid me half up front, would you be so adamant about paying me the other half if I also got over spray all over your new car.

Come on man lets wait for some facts.

I agree completely with you.

As of right now we know NOTHING and this is all speculation. However I think Nick is saying you can’t use the argument that the Chiefs aren’t paying Haley because the team looked like crap. I think he is insinuating that Pioli is responsible for signing players and Haley was using what he had. In that case Pioli should not receive his paycheck either. Just playing devils advocate.

Thank you.

A poor performance is not grounds for voiding a legal contract.

I don’t know the details, but I know the fact that we went 4-12, 10-6, and 7-9 isn’t grounds for ignoring the contract.
