God, if people are really calling for Haley to be out after 1 playoff loss, than thats ridiculus.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t want to be like the Raiders and change head coaches ever 2 years. That kind of stuff is hard on a team and thats why one of the reasons for the Raiders sucking is.

I have been all about the idea of bringing Cowher here since he retired from The Steelers. I think he is a top-notch HC.

However, Todd Haley is The Chiefs’ HC. And he has done an amazing job through two seasons.

If I were given the opportunity to choose, right now, I couldn’t possibly put this team through the changes that would occur with a HC change.

I wouldn’t hire Bill Bellichick in place of Todd Haley this offseason.

Todd Haley is our guy. And he now has to prove to me that he isn’t a great HC, for me to want him out.

Last year I would have let Haley go in a heartbeat. Even still there are things about him that make me want him gone. If he comes out again next season with the mindset that he can be head coach AND offensive coordinator, I will once again be off the Haley bandwagon. He simply is NOT that kind of coach right now.

That would mean that Haley really does need to learn to use an OC. he cannot be allowed to make game time decisions, coach players in the game, AND call plays all at the same time.

How ’bout Bill Parcells?

I still believe there is a place for Parcells. I fully expect them to announce that he is taking over as President of Football Operations for Hunt himself.

I agree. Haley has got to stay.

Look, I’m not Haley’s biggest fan. But bringing in Cowher would be a terrible idea.

I know the media sucked up to Cowher for a decade and a half, but he was not a strong game coach. He coached in the worst division in FB (AFC Central – some mixture of Bengals, Browns, Ravens, Jags, and Titans/Oilers) and ran up winning regular season records. But he was a miserable playoffs coach, only winning a SB in that miserable, horribly officiated Seahawks/Steelers SB. Mike Tomlin has done more in Pittsburgh in his four years than Cowher did in his whole tenure.

Anyway, it’s all moot, because Cowher will only go somewhere he has complete power over player personnel. And Pioli ain’t giving that up.

Pure horse s***!

With the exception of the first few seasons, Cower was 96-63-1 from ’97 through ’06. And, in that time, The AFC Central/North was a better than .500 division.

And that is allowing you to neglect his first five seasons, where the division was weaker. Over those five seasons, the new HC had a record of 53-27, with four divisional championships.

Now…

How about that playoff record of 12-9?

12-9 is a “miserable” playoff record?

Making it to two Super Bowls, winning one, (The other game may have been bought) is “miserable”?

This has to be a joke.

And Mike Tomlin, while he has done a fantastic job of sustaining the success that Cower brought, was clearly the luckiest man in The NFL when he took over as The Steelers’ HC. What a perfect situation to start with.

But, four years of excellence is, in no way, comparable to taking a losing franchise and turning it into a fifteen year domination machine.
