New Coach for the Kansas City Chiefs

St. Louis Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley has accepted the position of head coach for the Kansas City Chiefs this week. According to anonymous declarations the Chiefs’ players are actually very happy with the decision since after dealing with him right before Super Bowl 2009 he showed a very friendly and professional presence and basically 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.

Todd Haley will be joining a franchise-worst 2-14 under coach Herm Edwards, recently fired on January 23t. Edwards lost all but two of his last 25 games. The Kansas City chiefs were working with Edwards on a rebuilding project though that made the Chiefs the youngest team during this NFL season.

Maybe the hopes are too high, especially if they are aiming to match the 2008 Chiefs game where they set an NFL record for pass-rushing futility with only 10 sacks, most yards allowed in a game, most points allowed in a game, and biggest lead squandered in a loss all of these under Gunther Cunningham’s supervision, who has become defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions.

Another issue that Haley will have to take into consideration for this years NFL season is that the Kansas City Chiefs haven't won a NFL postseason game since Joe Montana was their quarterback in the 1993. In more current matters, Todd Haley will have to deal with two very important issues regarding the Chiefs players: Larry Johnson who was saying that he saw no future for himself in Kansas City after he was benched for violating team rules for three games and suspended for one game by the NFL and a solution for Chiefs quarterback Brodie Croyle, that has been prone to injury and unreliable.
