I think this is a bad move on the part of Haley. This is his first year ever as a head coach and I don't think he quite knows what he is in for.
I think I would feel a lot better if we had someone else making the calls as two heads in a game that moves as fast as this one does is better than one which is splitting duties.
I hope I am wrong, but when we start seeing a lot of timeouts being called early in the game I think that will be an indication of a problem in coaching.
Why was Gailey even retained to begin with? Haley was hired because of his "offensive expertise" so he should call plays or at least bring in a guy who knows his system.
Bad timing??
I'd rather that Haley do it now than later this year.. The sooner he gets it like he wants it, the sooner we can move forward with "the new chiefs".
Besides in my mind Haley is a bit of a quiet superstar when it comes to play calling and making adjustments. I've watched a few of Arizona's games from last year, and obviously the superbowl.
They made it to the superbowl with a mediocre D (they did improve massively in the offseason though), and a pretty one dimensional offense (Arizona's "Luftwaffe" if you will :P)
Yet they still managed to beat some of the best defences out there..
One thing immediately springs to mind, the "resurrection" of Fitzgerald in the superbowl. He was completely non-existant the entire first half. The halftime corrections that Haley dished out clearly worked, and got their offense rolling again.
I specifically remember Haley talking (very animated) to Fitzgerald about something (im guessing he saw a chink in the steel armor), and on the very next play Fitzgerald splits Pittsburgs D down the middle for a huge gain.
Chan Gailey is a very good coach, he showed that last year, he had grapes yet he still made limonade.
He is however quite conservative, where Haley is very aggressive. This is probably why Herm (also very conservative) hired him.
Our new defence is going to be alot more aggressive, because that is how Haley likes it, so why shouldn't our offense be so too.
That doesn't mean we have the talent or weapons to do it perfectly at this point in time. But why put off until tomorrow what you can do today?
My biggest concern is that Haley can't handle it all, and burns out or something.. But he has a lot of experience around him, so I think it will work out.
Man what a wall of text that became..
Go Chiefs!
DON'T BE SURPRISED IF THEY DON'T HAVE SOMEONE LINED UP...u HEARD IT HEERE FROM ME 1ST...
I don't see why so many people are shocked by this news. Haley said when Chan was given the OC position that it was basically a "for now" type of deal. Obviously Haley didn't like the playcalling and decided to go a different route. Also according to LJ the two were constantly arguing during practice about how the offense was going to be ran.
Gailey did an admirable job last year and has earned a ton of respect over his whole career but Haley just wanted to go a different direction.
As far as the timing of it. WHO CARES? It isn't like the playbook has changed only who is calling the plays. They aren't going to have to learn a whole new system or anything.
His name is Todd Haley.Quote:

He certainly has experience.
Yes, he does have the experience and looks like he wore leather helmets at some point in his life, but we have him for SOME reason this season... either he steps up because he is on the Offensive side or get somebody better (maybe next season) Unless haley thinks he can take on the entire offense
Well, if it's anything I've learned with our Chiefs in the last three years is that most anything may well be possible, regardless of probabilities.Quote:
