The only thing I dont like about him is that he is unproven as a head coach.
That being said, everyone has to start somewhere, and I am not mad at Pioli for picking him in any way. I like his fiery attitude, and his resume says that he is a good developer of WR's~
so I guess this is more of a positive post in the negative thread about Haley.
sorry :(
I think you guys should get over it. We just gone thru hell with Herm, and there isnt ANYONE worse than him.
He won't say he just likes to complain, he sounds like some of those losers on the old Star forum all they did is complain about everything that the team did they were never happy. I think sometimes they complain just to hear themselves.
Dude at least we got rid of CP and Herm. It is like when CP first got here he hired a DC to be the new HC by the name of Marty and he did okay.
I do not know if Haley will be any good or not only time will tell but at least he is young and bring some fresh blood to the team. I am not happy or unhappy with the signing, but I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until he proves otherwise.
I am sure Hunt and Pioli both know more about who would and who would not come in as coach. As I am sure they brought in the best in their minds. We do not know who turned down the job before they gave it to Haley.
I was hoping for a proven winner like Cowher. But I am optimistic about Haley. He has a very good resume. His father, Bill Haley helped build a dynasty in Pittsburgh. His Mentor, Bill Parcells needs no introduction. Haley has helped turnaround several teams. I think this team is better today than we were in Novermber with CP and Herm in charge. I think they are tons better.
Landing Pioli will prove to be the best thing KC has done in years IMO.
Coach Pioli yes I do agree he was the best option for the chiefs. I think we should have kept Herm for atleast one more year I'd be happier then i am right now.
Part of me wonders if that wasn't the best option as well due to all of the big name coaches available next year. But, I think Herm would have been a lame duck coach this coming year and it would have set the team back by another year.
I would have preferred Cowher. But you can have Holmgren, Shanahan, Chuckie, and the others. There were no guarantees the Chiefs would have landed Cowher and I think Pioli knew that. Cowher doesn't need a rebuilding project. He will inherit a great team somewhere when he's ready to comeback. Very likely San Diego. I think Norv will get the axe next year. I'd be willing to bet money on it.
Well lets not forget some of the good things CP has done. He got Tony and Derrick, arguably some of the best Chiefs players in the entire franchise and when the Chiefs were a sucky team he brought in coaches players and whatever he needed to make Kansas City have some of the best fans around.
Saint Cowher was once unproven as a head coach, too.
While we don't know much about Haley as a head coach, he's not unproven or a "one season wonder" as an offensive coach. Some of the same things that have been mentioned, I also find worrisome (the Cards' rushing and defensive performances come to mind).
I think it will be important to see who he comes up with as a DC, and how the coaching staff looks in a week or two.

I don't think you can blame him for the lack of running game entirely. When you've got two of the best receivers in the league supported by a 3rd who could easily be a two, a respectable tight end and Warner tossing them the rock, I don't blame him for throwing it as much as he did especially when you're running game consists of an average line with an aging star and a rookie who wasn't able to handle the load. As far as defense goes, hopefully the right DC will take care of that for the most part.
Great point Cannuck.
Play to your stengths. If he had employed the run,run, pass, punt philosophy that Herm adored, I very highly doubt that Arizona would have made it to the superbowl. But I would be willing to bet that they would have finished higher in the NFL in rushing.
A more important statistic is TOTAL offense. Arizona ranked 4th this year. Can your team move the ball? Isn't that really the only thing that matters.
You give me Tom Brady, Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, and Tony Gonzalez and I will show you the worst rushing statistics in the history of the NFL and a Lombardi trophy.
A portion of this hire was his ability to evaluate talent. His father Dick Haley was part of a draft for the steelers in 74 that took 4 HOF's in one draft. Not to say he is his dad, but they talked about how much time he spent around that organization-watching film, listening with scouts, etc. Who he chooses as coordinators is going to be super important especially Def. Co.
Everyone is unproven before they get their first shot to be a head Coach- but this guy has worked along some of the best to see how to build a strong team- Chuck Noll, Bill Parcells, His father
Out of all the HC hires this off-season it would be tough to say anyone of them was a hands down better hire than Haley
As far as the whole experience thing goes, how long have Wisenhunt and Tomlin been around? They both made SB appearances this year.
Good point
Tomlin Def. cor. for the Vikings for 1 year with 2 years as a DB coach at TB
Whisenhunt off. cor. for 3 years with the steelers positional coach previous to that
Hopefully we can match some of this success, it comes down to if you have talent around them
At least in tomlin's case that team is pretty much the same Bill Cowher team that won the Super Bowl
Then why do u think Haley will get more wins?

You sound like such a fun guy to be around not happy about anything. You wanted more of Herm and his 9-8, 4-12 and 2-14 total 17-34 three year record. You should have been on the Star's forum you would have fit in there real good. For three years all people did was complain about CP and Herm and anything they did. I was really sorry it closed down I wanted to see how they reacted to all the changes that were made alas it is no more.
Oh well it takes all kinds to make the world go round I hope you enjoy your life, I know I will mine with a lot more positive outlook than you have.
anyone is better then herm edwards...that guy just sucked i think hayley will be good in kc.
