Every other game they've scored 19 points or more. The Ravens scored only 9 points against the Chiefs, and have scored 23 or more points in every other game. Coincidentally, the Steeler and Raven games are the only games that the Chiefs have attacked early and often on defense from the opening kickoff. I don't need a history lesson on the mistakes that haley made, but I contend that you are wrong that Haley was an example of the peter principle.

Whisenhunt/Cards: Steelers Pioli/Chiefs: Parcells Jets/Parcells Dallas (Also, his Dad was with the Jets as well) Tomlin/Steelers: Steelers/Hid Dad If the guy is fired and hired by a team like Seattle next year AND he succeeds, I'll give a little. Until then, he's just another in a long line of guys that have jobs in the NFL due to nepotism/cronyism. That's actually just one reason I'd like to see the Chiefs hire a guy like Chip Kelly and let him do it his way: No NFL ties. |

He certainly had a lot of fail in the "role players" he added but when you have a strong GM its hard to think that most of the actual players added is on the first time head coach vs. Mr. Amazing GM. I would argue he did a good job with DJ and Bowe.
Again, whatever your feelings on him as a coach, I think the actual roster decisions need to fall on the guy whose ego seems too large to let a first time head coach make any major player decisions. He got a few role players and Breaston. That didn't set us back 5 years. |

This is year FOUR since Haley and Pioli were hired. Haley's since been fired. Crennel and Pioli will soon be fired. How is 2013 NOT five years? |

You said Haley ****ed the team over for five and thats my issue. Pioli is the one that has ****ed them over for five years. Pioli is the common factor for every year. Haley didn't make the roster decisions that are the issue with this team. If you feel he didn't use the roster correctly that's fine, but if that's the case the team should be better. Since it isn't, its pretty clear that the set back of five years doesn't fall on Haley, it falls on Pioli. |

While it's true that Pioli has done a piss poor job of identifying free agents and college draftees, Haley didn't help himself or the team by playing Larry Johnson and Mike Goof for ten games, nor did he help himself by going for it on 4th down on his own 20, etc. and so on. Pioli has been an abomination as a GM but Haley did absolutely nothing to help this team. Nothing. It'll be 2013 before this ship has been "righted", making it five years. |

I guess I just hear ****ed over and think a long term affect that keeps going beyond their time here. Like what DV did. I just think the difference is DV had a lot more say in personnel. Haley's affect on this time was strictly limited to the play on the field, and imho, wouldn't affect future teams once he wasn't around. Really, my beef with your comment isn't what Haley did when he was here but the implication(at least how I took it), that his impact was still being felt. |

Really?
Then why were they 5-8 when he was fired? Why did they win 2 games AFTER he was fired? I don't remember the San Francisco 49ers falling off a cliff when Bill Walsh retired. I don't remember the Denver Broncos falling off a cliff when Dan Reeves was fired. I don't remember the Pittsburgh Steelers dumping seasons after Cowher left. Yet, I'm to believe that the absence of Todd Haley and Todd Haley alone means that the Chiefs fall to 1-8? Bullshit. |

Meanwhile, in KC...Bowe, DJ, and others have gone back to pre Haley form...or at best have gone back to being inconsistent. |

No. As for Dwayne Bowe, he's clearly mailed it in. Every report says he wants out and it's clear from his level of play that it's true. He must hate the Kansas City Chiefs, Pioli, Crennel, et al so much that he's willing to leave money on the table by playing so poorly. That, my friend, has nothing to do with Todd Haley. |
