Chiefs Offer Todd Haley Head Coaching Job
So in a move that most have been expecting the Kansas City Chiefs have officially offered their head coaching job to Cardinals’ OC Todd Haley.
FOX Sports on MSN - Jay Glazer - Sources: Cards assistant tabbed to coach Chiefs.
FOXSports.com has learned that the Chiefs offered the position to Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley and he has accepted. They are now trying to work out terms of a contract agreement.
And apparently the reports of Haley interviewing for the Chiefs head coaching job this past week were also true (go figure, huh).
Haley interviewed for the position earlier this week and a Cardinals player at the Pro Bowl told FOXSports.com Haley was scheduled to arrive in Honolulu for the Pro Bowl Thursday as a guest of Cardinals wideout Larry Fitzgerald, but canceled at the last moment because of the Kansas City job.
It is nice have a guy (almost I guess) that is highly respected and that the players realize is a big loss.
“He’s going to be a big loss for us,” another Cards player told FOXSports.com.
A different Cardinals player said, “He was really liked in the locker room, because we felt like he was always trying to figure something out for us for Sundays. He never stopped.”
Haley called the plays for the high-flying Cardinals offense that shocked the world by not only getting to the Super Bowl, but nearly winning it last Sunday.
So, it’s looking like a “Welcome to the Kansas City Chiefs” is in order for you Todd Haley.

I think this should be a good hire for the Chiefs. A young, but respected coach to instill new life. I truly hope he keeps Chan Gailey on as OC. Both of them have interesting philosophies when it comes to running an offense and could work wonders together. It will be interesting to see if Thiggy gets a shot at starting again or if they’ll bring in someone else (Cassel?) to be a more “standard” NFL QB. If Cassel is the target we better be able to work out a trade with New England, because giving up two 1st rounds picks would be too much.
Tell me what you're thinking...
