It seemed inevitable all along---

We know that MB loves Haley...

We know that no offensive coach has pushed Fitz more and gotten more out of Fitz than Haley...

If what MJ reported about Ray Horton's choices for OC and DC is accurate---that assembly of a staff would be tough to sell to an SEC school. Not kidding. Not that Kirby Wilson and Lou Spanos are bad coaches---they are both immensely unproven, and neither has any NFL experience as a coordinator.

Plus, how many RB coaches become OCs?

Moreover---with MB barking about holding onto Kevin Kolb---how does Horton sell his HC candidacy when he wants to hire an OC who has no experience with QBs?

Sorry, Ray, but C'MON MAN.

The good news is---there's no way Horton gets a HC job elsewhere because there is no way he can sell that staff.

Haley didn't want to be a token interview.

Haley wanted to be taken seriously.

Now he's coming to interview.

It, imo, is a lock.

Haley fits the criteria that MB wants.

He brings an edge...and apparently, with advice from Bill Parcells, an improved level of maturity.

Todd Haley---

No matter what---it will be very interesting---

And I like that he had the KC experience, for good and for bad---which, imo, makes him better qualified than all these intriguing, but seemingly not really ready OCs.

Great. Another coach whose built his résumé with Kurt Warner.
I thought the Cards needed a coach who would build players up by being warm and fuzzy...

I wouldnt be fired up, but I would and will always hope for the best. He certainly got shafted in KC, but he brought a lot of tat on himself. If he could bring a better personality, and ability to be more of a players coach, while keeping the intensity and offensive ingenuity, it could work out.

The fact that The Rapist doesnt like him means very little to me. Hes a douche. But obviously, there is cause for concern...

Haley's comet brings angry vomit. I want to run the ball this year, not watch some guy point his finger more than Jan Brewer. I hope this aint the next HC but if he really is showing up than we really need to worry.

The real question is how long after the Cards hire Haley will the Steelers bring back Whiz and Grimm.

This is a worst case scenario. We fire Whiz so we can bring in a guy who runs the same system and is also being sold on clearance at the "Jerk Store".

Even if I thought Haley was a great coach (and I dont) his personality is so wretched that he cant last more than 2 years anywhere.

I'm back to Horton and any DC or OC who has coached in pee wee or junior high.
