Knew it was coming but it still sucks. He will be missed. Wish him well in KC.

I just hope we don't have as big a problem finding an OC as the Whiners had...

GL to him, he will forever be remembered for his part in this season

Call Jon Gruden

HEEEEEEEEEEELL NAW. I don't want some douche that is universally hated and got his only Super Bowl win with Dungy's Buccs. Besides, if he is brought in, it would hurt our chances of Simeon Rice coming back .

Brian Billick anyone????

I've enjoyed listening to him on FOX, Sirius and NFL Network.

Just saw the Fox Sports update. Looks official except for working out the numbers. Sorry about that.

I'll throw this name out: Bill O'Brien. He was the offensive assistant for the 18-1 Pats, than became there WR coach last season and is now their QB coach. He'd seem like a good fit and it'd mean the Pats would lose another staff member causing further headaches for them. Win/win situation.

He's accepted:

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.
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.
"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.

Deeeeaqlyaineit!!!

Personally, I don't think he'll make a good coach.

Best wishes, Todd Haley. You will be missed.

Personally, I don't think he'll make a good coach.

I do.. I liked his gameplans and players credited him a lot with their improvement. Only questionable thing IMO was some of his playcalls (The Pick 6 in the Super Bowl should have been fade to fitz, and all those Draw plays that never worked).. which is something I'd expect him to not be doing as a HC

This is why I love this board, we get insights from people who are NFL talent evaluators.

NFL talent evaluators said Ryan Leaf was 1 and 1a with Peyton Manning..

Totally Agree!

Questions in play calling is always gonna be there. What if Quan ran his route in front of Harrison or Warner actually saw him fake the blitz? We have ran those pick plays all season and that was Kurts 1st turnover in the redzone all season. Haley was a big reason we were 2 minutes from hoisting the Lombardi, a big reason!!!
