Chiefs refusing to pay Haley?
If coaches didn't think KC was an attractive place beforehand this certainly won't help

No shit, this is a nightmare
So Pioli is angry over what Haley told Babb and now refuses to pay him?
Nicknames I have coined:
Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'
Shaun Smith = 'Big Nasty'
Kelly Gregg = 'Old Gregg'
Why else would Pioli refuse to pay him?
Nicknames I have coined:
Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'

I have no idea.
I offered a couple theories below, but they’re just guesses.
"Be an analyst. Don’t be a douchebag." - Terrell Suggs to Skip Bayless
Ugh, I think the Chiefs need Free Agency to get here quicker than we do
Seems like they don’t know what to do with themselves when nothing’s happening.
Idle hands are the Devil’s tools, or some junk.
"Why are all these people here? There are too many people on this earth. We need a new plague…"
-Dwight Schrute
"For cause."
Insubordination? Tanking games?
"Be an analyst. Don’t be a douchebag." - Terrell Suggs to Skip Bayless
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.
"Be an analyst. Don’t be a douchebag." - Terrell Suggs to Skip Bayless
But if Wright said it
you know it has to be true.
Also
they obviously have the recording since the whole building is bugged
So berating a player means you don't get paid?
What is this? Little league softball? Give me a break.
Tanking games? Weird paranoid rants? Don’t you think that is stretching the truth a bit?
Nicknames I have coined:
Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'
Shaun Smith = 'Big Nasty'
Kelly Gregg = 'Old Gregg'
It does if it's the reason they get fired.
For instance, if the coach is making a hostile locker room.
I don’t know what happened.
Who cares?
Pay the man, admit your mistake, and move on.

I didn't sign the contract.

It would have to be pretty egregious. For something petty, it just looks like sour grapes and is a bad look.

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.
yup, this could get VERY interesting

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
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
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.
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
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.

He said he was at One Arrowhead for the interview
So I assume he was still employed, I think he said it was right before the Jets game
the chiefs better be able to prove this or it will cost them more than just money.
haley could get his contract and then some. the image of the chiefs is at stake as well.

Well winning football games becomes much hard
When you can’t find a competent coach willing to come here, because of upper management.
Nicknames I have coined:
Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'
Shaun Smith = 'Big Nasty'
Kelly Gregg = 'Old Gregg'
The Chiefs are really making it hard for a lifelong fan to continue liking them
What. The. Fuck. is going on at One Arrowhead Drive?
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.
"saints_chiefsfan1979 is a genius" - yes, I lost a bet.
Good one
But in all seriousness…WTF. Just pay the man.
Nicknames I have coined:
Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'
Shaun Smith = 'Big Nasty'
Kelly Gregg = 'Old Gregg'
The Chiefs might have missed a playoff berth because of Haley's infatuation with Palko.
The Chiefs might actually have a legitimate case here for being cheap bastards.
"saints_chiefsfan1979 is a genius" - yes, I lost a bet.
Fired for starting the wrong player?
It doesn’t work like that.
Nicknames I have coined:
Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'
Shaun Smith = 'Big Nasty'
Kelly Gregg = 'Old Gregg'
What if Pioli had told Haley to start Orton (that was the reason Pioli claimed him off waivers) and Haley refused?
Then we have evidence of the Chiefs moving the ball and winning games after Haley was fired and Orton started.
"saints_chiefsfan1979 is a genius" - yes, I lost a bet.
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.
Nicknames I have coined:
Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'
Shaun Smith = 'Big Nasty'
Kelly Gregg = 'Old Gregg'
So if its true, what legitimate reason would be cause to not pay Haley the last year of his contract

Nope, but you didn't answer the question
Would that be “cause” enough to not pay him his contract in full?
I'm so overrated, I'm underrated.
by RememberDelaney37 on Jan 26, 2012 9:00 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Because it's a contract?
That’s kind of how those things work. Should Haley of been fired? Sure, but he was under contract so pay him.
I don't think there is any way that can be used as a "cause"
What other option did Haley have besides Palko? A rookie playing against NE, Pitt, Chi, and the NYJs? Pioli is as much at fault for having Palko on the roster as Haley so I don’t think there is any way they can say he was throwing games by starting him.
Orton...
And the evidence for their case is the GB, OAK and DEN game.
"saints_chiefsfan1979 is a genius" - yes, I lost a bet.
He didn't even know the offense yet

If this is indeed true, re: not paying Haley his final year
For something petty like insubordination — yes, I am upset by it. Very upset.
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.

But it is not a casaul relationship
If not paying Haley the final year of his contract was a necessary means for us to win a championship, I would obviously support that decision.
But I only see it hurting us. Both in terms of publicity and respect from potential coaching candidates, free agents, etc.

So you believe that this will negatively affect the product on the field then?
It couldn’t possibly have a positive affect, only negative?

if it affects who has a desire to be hired as OC would you say THAT could have an affect?

If it hurts our chances to land a real OC
Or a FA that helps us win games (e.g. Paul Soliai), yes…I could see it hurting the product on the field.

That's not the point.
They’ve had no trouble attracting coaches and players. That they often choose the wrong ones is on them.
"Be an analyst. Don’t be a douchebag." - Terrell Suggs to Skip Bayless
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.
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.

Heh. So you are basically saying...
if we don’t land an OC or free agents that you deem “real” or “that will help us win games”, then this situation must be the reason we didn’t land them.

I will not be coaxed into this
Wright doesn’t have any more info, he just wants the ratings. Does this all the time. Pimps up like he is breaking some big story or has news on something, and never does.
Kind of like reading a HuffPost headline…
Nicknames I have coined:
Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'
Shaun Smith = 'Big Nasty'
Kelly Gregg = 'Old Gregg'
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.
Insert witty yet thought provoking phrase here.
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.
Nicknames I have coined:
Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'
Shaun Smith = 'Big Nasty'
Kelly Gregg = 'Old Gregg'
That is what I'm thinking, if its true
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.
Pretty good PR move actually, if that is what is going on

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.
Nicknames I have coined:
Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'
Shaun Smith = 'Big Nasty'

When I say the article “began”, I meant it literally. The article opened with the Haley info.

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

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.
