KC Star : Haley's coaching performance was embarrassing

[Coach]

Let’s hope Todd Haley spent Sunday night standing in front of a mirror, screaming at himself. If he holds himself to the same standards as his players, he might be on the waiver wire this morning.

Wow Fatlock admitted why he hates Pioli, boo whoo they don't tell me anything. I don't understand why Fatlock still has a job.



From the above article.


"Many of you don’t understand why the tone of my columns about the Chiefs has been so negative after I initially campaigned for Scott Pioli’s hiring and identified Haley as Pioli’s likely head coach.
The amount of arrogance from Pioli directed toward the media and the unwarranted, know-it-all arrogance Haley directs toward his players make King Carl Peterson look as humble and down-to-earth as Lamar Hunt."

How was Haley embarrassing? He can't help if the players can't get it done. There was maybe 1 bad call, but it was probably cassels fault.

I can think of at least 4 instances:
1. 4th and 1 from the 5 and kicking a field goal.
2. Not instructing Cassel to throw the ball away at the end of the 1st half if it appeared we couldn't stop the clock.
3. Allowing Clancy to put us in a prevent defense on the faders last drive.
4. Not getting the ball to Bowe when Asamgua was not in the game (which was numerous plays-we took advantage ONCE.)

I for once agree with Fatlock, Haley does have to look in the mirror.

Look, penalties is a product of poor game preperation. You have to mentally prepare the team to play smart and not make mistakes on the field. False starts at home are uncalled for and Albert had at least two.

Those two timeouts we spent that we needed before the half, those are Haley's fault too, think about it, had we had a coordinator, then those plays could have been prepared sooner and called in sooner. Since Haley insists on doing it himself there we are.

I found it funny when Cassel said "The plays here are a lot like New England, it is the screaming in my ear that is hard to get used to"

Yeah Haley might want to tone it down a bit. Instead of getting respect out of his players, he'll simply lose them.

It was 3rd and 5. Not for 4th down. It should have been a shot to the endzone, and if need be a field goal

Cassel admitted he was at fault for the pass. You can't blame just one person for that.

1. You can blame Haley for Calling the play.
2. You can blame Cassel for throwing where he did.
3. You can blame the RB who caught the ball knowing he would get lit up in bounds as soon as he caught the ball.

It was a bad mistake by everyone. So would like to go back to herm where he would have waste a timeout and screwed up everything.

No doubt Cassel was at fault. But Haley is the qb coach, offensive coordinator, and head coach. And he called a time out before the play. It was at this point that Haley should had made sure the Cassel understood the situation.
And I understand Cassel is getting paid millions of dollars for making these decisions and that it was his first game as a Chief. All the more reason....
And who can we blame for not having a OC or qb coach to help Cassel in these types of situations...
Obviously Haley can't, won't, or didn't do it...

Let's keep this all in perspective...Whitlock is paid to get us all stirred up. Not that we need any help coming off a home opener loss to the stinkin' raiders, a winless preseason, and a previous year of 2-14.

Mr. Whitlock, please get over the fact that Pioli doesn't give a whole lot of time to the media. It's nothing personal. The man has bigger fish to fry. Right now that bubbling sound you hear is the entire offensive line and coaching staff being dipped in batter.

With that being said, I do agree that Haley should control himself better on the sidelines. If it's truly that bad, do what Mike Singletary did - tell the player to go take a shower and play someone you don't have to scream at.

Yeah, what he said.

I hope Haley didn't bite off more than he can chew.... next thing we know he'll get po'd at the Defensive Coordinator and assume those duties.... then he'll assume the duties of the special teams coach, etc, etc.....
