Chiefs make a hire: Todd Haley

[Diabeetus]

Herm Edwards was the worst coach in the NFL.

How can people ignore the fact that in his 3-years in KC he took his team from 9 wins to 4 wins to 2 wins this year. ZERO wins was up next for the Chiefs in 2009 with Edwards as the coach.

Carl Peterson had more to do with that than Herm.

You're clearly the one here with knowledge of the situation. Herm didn't want to keep those ancient bastards when he first took the job. He kept em and rode LJ to the playoffs where they were embarrassed. Then Carl foolishly refused to rebuild that offseason because he thought he could squeeze another playoff run out of them and things completely fell apart. The rebuilding just started last season. I'm not a Herm fan at all, but it was definitely Carl's fault.

I'm not sold on Thigpen just yet, but I'm also not ready to kick him to the curb. I'd like to see KC trade Tony G for Matt Leinart and let the two of them duke it out for the top gig.

Draft Aaron Curry in the first round, Chase Coffman in the second and sign Julius Peppers.

Hey, a kid can dream, can't he?

Marty Hurney will probably slap the franchise tag on Peppers to keep the Panthers from losing him for no compensation.

I get your dream - don't blame you - but just sayin'.

That's only if the Panthers can sign Gross first. Seems to me he's more important for the team's success.

I'd be happier getting Gross as a FA than Peppers :D

 

[pallister]

Oh yeah. Especially on a team with a young QB.

Jordan Gross is the primary focus. Get him signed, see what's left and tag Julius Peppers, then try to get him dealt around draft day. Make picks and go after some second- and third-tier free agents to fill the roster.

It's not like Marty Hurney is keeping any of this a serious secret.

 

[pallister]

Especially since the AP had a story today laying out Carolina's plans.

 

[Mark2010]

Do those plans include drafting/signing a quarterback?

No on drafting one, unless it's a late-round project?

Signing? Depends on what's out there and if the coaching staff thinks it's a major upgrade over Josh McCown and Matt Moore without rocking the boat.

Jake Delhomme is still the starter. One really bad game in the playoffs isn't changing things that much, no matter what the detractors think.

Pall, I hear you, but The Charlotte Observer has a little more in resources and insight. Mike Cranston does a solid job for AP - as did Jenna Fryer and Joe Macenka before him - but gotta go with the Observer on this one.

Couldn't have said it better

The Cardinals are $40M under the cap. They should forget about Boldin and concentrate on going after guys like Suggs or Asomugha.

 

[Diabeetus]

Asomugha will get tagged.

 

[FreddiePatek]

Kansas City is going to have roughly $40M in cap space as well. While I'd like to see them chase down Peppers, I really have no idea who Haley is going to grab as a DC.

I've got a sneaking suspicion he might grab the deposed Cards DC. That at least might bring Dansby into the mold.

I think the defensive market is gone to turn on whatever it is Baltimore ends up doing with their guys.

 

[Football_Bat]

Nobody evcer heard of this guy until Anquan Boldin yelled at him.

BUZZZZZZ!
