Collingsworth: Haley Will Coach Cheifs

[Mr. Boldin]

NBC Sports analyst Cris Collinsworth expects Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley to become the Chiefs’ next head coach.

Collinsworth, who spent time with Haley before broadcasting the Cardinals’ NFC first-round win over Atlanta and will cover the Super Bowl between Arizona and Pittsburgh, said Haley’s star has risen higher than anyone’s during the playoffs.

“I think he’ll be the coach in Kansas City,” Collinsworth told me Tuesday on a teleconference. “I’m watching what’s happening with all the (new) coaches, and we’ve seen some of the defensive coaches come off the board, and the one guy nobody is talking about that has surprised me, and it’s because (the Cardinals) flew so far under the radar screen, was Haley. He’s not under the radar screen anymore.

“The biggest winner who has come out of this run by the Arizona Cardinals has been Todd Haley.”

Collinsworth was impressed with how Haley handled himself during some heated sideline discussions with quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Anquan Boldin in the NFC championship game on Sunday.

“For Boldin to be getting in his face in the middle of the most significant drive in half a century for the Arizona Cardinals,” Collinsworth said, “and to keep it together and call the plays to march it downfield against one of the best defenses in the league, showed great presence.”

Mike Sando: A very high chance if the Chiefs hire Cris Collinsworth as general manager, apparently.

Oh darn.

My sentiments exactly.

But since the Chefs currently have a coach we should probably wait until they - you know - fire him before we get to excited one way or the other

Like that would be a new thing. Cards make it to the playoffs for the first time in Arizona, and immediately, they offensive coordinator to go coach the Giants.
