Haley on Arrowhead
From River Falls, Wisconsin
Since he was named head coach of the Chiefs back in February, Todd Haley has had plenty of chances to drive up the hill from the team’s training complex and visit Arrowhead Stadium.
But he’s purposefully stayed away.
“I’m saving that for Saturday,” Haley said on Wednesday morning.
He wants his first steps into the stadium as head coach to come Saturday night when the Chiefs open the pre-season schedule against the Houston Texans.
Haley has coached twice in Arrowhead while an assistant coach with other teams: 1998 with the New York jets and 2003 with the Chicago Bears. The Jets won, while the Bears lost.
“When we came in ‘98 with the Jets, in the pre-game the Wolf was out there running his four-wheeler over a dummy dressed like (Jets WR Wayne) Chrebet,” Haley said. “The crowd was going crazy and we heard the ‘home of the Chiefs’ and that’s an intimidating start to the game. We were able to win it on a late field goal by John Hall. After the game one of our coaches here now, Dedric Ward, stood up in that cramped visitors’ locker room and said ‘Home of the Jets’ and we kind of carried that slogan into the playoffs that year, all the way to the conference championship game.
“When you hear the crowd and the National Anthem finish with that, it gives you chills no matter what side you are on.”
Haley > Herm
Pioli > CP
anything > gunther
Amen, findthedr, amen.
The preseason doesn’t give us much more than a good view of those younger players, as well as some vanilla glimpse of our proposed 1st team. Defense is obviously better this year, while the offense must rely on the run, quick pass, shuttle and screen play to control the tempo.
Haley/Pioli will grow a team into a champion over time. More importantly it is obvious the assistant coaching staff is for the most part leaps and bounds above and beyond where we have been in recent years.
Herm took his teams to the playoffs his first year both KC & NY… takes offense when players don’t genuflect after/first make an appointment.
Herm is STILL The Man! > > nee ‘check’ mated

Rin says,
“Herm”
-Yes Rin, what is it now? I am attempting to drive ESPN into the ground the same way I did the Jets and Chiefs’ franchises. Was there something you wanted to tell me? What’s that, you say? I’m what?
“Still THE man!”
-Yes, I know, but remember, we were going to leave that sentiment to our little times in the airport restrooms together.
Hermy-o
“Herm took his teams to the playoffs his first year both KC & NY”
The Chiefs backed into the playoffs in Herm’s first year thanks to Denver. What happened in the playoffs? Oh yeah, that’s right…a 23-8 massacre in Indianapolis. No first downs in the 1st half? Wow! Something to be proud of!
Herm is totally awesome!
To bad its preseason and Arrowhead wont be near sold out, or even close.
I think it would do alot for this fresh team to have the stadium full, loud, and crazy. Nothing gets you pumped up more, too bad it will be a dissapointment to haley and the rest of the crew.
BPinKC said
- nothing, per the usual…
“The Chiefs backed into the playoffs in Herm’s first year thanks to Denver.”
- have you contacted Mr. Goodell as well Elias Sports Bureau et al to have this stricken from the record books? Any luck so far, knee jerk?
Let Rin know how it works out (He’ll leave the lights on for you…)
“What happened in the playoffs? Oh yeah, that’s right…a 23-8 massacre in Indianapolis.”
- massacre…a 1 TD/2 PT game in the 3rd quarter – less than 2 same the final outcome; lo siento pero no & au contraire what’s more – a massacre is what the Chiefs 2009 season will be, messers & the duo having to date through off season as well this training but they’re not getting it camp just how fe, fi, FAUX & fum they be…
“No first downs in the 1st half? Wow! Something to be proud of!”
- stats like trix are for kids – Cardinals 407 yards in the Superbowl that he > lost.
Nice try ‘check’ – we’ve a nice parting gift for you: exile to Kansas City… dress warm.
Herm? First coach in franchise history to take the team into the playoffs? Wow! Something to sneeze at!
“Herm is totally awesome!”
- and ‘check’ a football legend – in his own impotent mind…
The massacre begins Saturday night…BE THERE!

Coach Haley,
Arrowhead stadium welcomes you, your staff & the future “Right 53″ Chiefs. Home of the finest sights, smells & sound, in the NFL. May the 12th man & the football gods bless you & show you the way.
Let the “Dynasty” begin… Go Chiefs.
Good luck on Saturday. Remember it is only preseason, play the reserves find out what you have. Remember Herm’s best preseason as coach of the Chiefs was only 2 and 2, had a couble of 0 and 4 preseasons. Of course he was just getting his fans ready for the stumble out of the gate that was season with him.
You say stats are like trix are for kids…yet you say the KC vs Indy game was a 1 TD/2 Pt game in the 3rd quarter. Are points scored not stats? It was obvious to anyone watching that game that we were lucky the score wasn’t worse than 23-8.
Coincidentally, the Chiefs’ record took a downward trend the 2 years after that loss. I guess that’s the players’ fault though, right Rin? Not Herms. Herm and CP didn’t draft and sign players. The players drafted and signed themselves.
I was at the ‘06 playoff game at Indy. We were never competitive on offense. No first downs until the end of the 3rd quarter. Somehow, Hermit had dismantled the most productive offense in the NFL in less than a year. Hermit lives off the last coach and then tears teams down. He better work hard at ESPN, he’ll never be a HC again. Well exept for Rint-tint-toot’s raiders. Rint’s beloved Al Davis is THAT stupid/senile. (15-33) in 3 years. Hermit emptied Arrowhead, that’s a fact.
Herm Edwards said
“Yes Rin”
- and no to – agreed!
“what is it now?”
- well Herm, now is trying to teach KC’s WR’s how to stay on their feet, catch the ball and line up in the right place – but alas things aren’t going well.
Why? The players aren’t buying into it because… well, because can’t even remember what to do himself – he forgets to blow his own whistle because he’s too busy blowing his own…uh, horn.
“I am”
- not surprised, yes I know Herm – ‘check’ is even worse than anyone expected… Jr. already has a short list of candidates ready, attempting to save face.
“attempting to”
- yeah, just like he tried & failed to end of last season. Good thing he isn’t on TV like you Coach…he’d have been canceled after 1 episode.
Unlike you who’ve been a nice addition otherwise the flotsam & jetsam employed there.
“drive ESPN into the ground the same way”
- exactly – would’ve the same way he drives a wedge between his players & he… I think he clipped himself (several times) the back of the head his golf swings.
So, did you hear about how disastrous his input nee teaching of our WRs has been going?
“I did”
- why are you smiling Herm? Me too…heh heh heh.
Oh, about the Chiefs and the Jets franchises…
“the Jets and Chiefs’ franchises. Was there something you wanted to tell me?”
- yeah, they haven’t had any coaching leadership at all at either place since you left…we miss you Coach Edwards, ALL of Kansas City does. You’re…you’re…
“What’s that, you say? I’m what?”
- you’re STILL The Man Coach!
“Still THE man!”
- the one and only Herm!
“Yes, I know, but remember, we were going to leave that sentiment to our”
- our grandchildren and theirs, exactly so Coach. They already know that every ‘W’ in 2009 KC will go to the Herm account every ‘L’ same the result the mismanagement & – they’re no dummies- the grandchildren that is, but they can sure spot them operating in pairs.
“little times in the airport restrooms together.”
- what do you thin his face looks like whe he gets excited?
” ”
- wow, looks scary…sort of like that guy Teicher does the Star’s video blogs.
“that”
- hack, yes…the paper has had to cut back on personality so bear with him…he;’s doing the best he can nee putting his best face forward; alas, like his face as his best just ain’t good enough.
There’s only one Hermy-o!
“Hermy-o”
- you’re the best Coach! Oh … before I go: does the (inaudible) million$ ESPN is paying you sound any crisper as you peel them off than the $4 mill Jr. is still paying you?
daddy-o
BPinKC said
- nothing…again…per the usual.
“You say stats are like trix are for kids…yet you say the KC vs Indy game was a 1 TD/2 Pt game in the 3rd quarter.”
- so you’re retracting your statement regarding stats that you initiated in the first place?
“Are points scored not stats?”
- is entrance to the playoffs (the KC Chiefs 2006 season) not recognized? NFL/Elias et al nod “yes” it is, in the affirmative…
“It was obvious to anyone watching that game that we were lucky the score wasn’t worse than 23-8.”
- woulda, coulda & his other brother shoulda i.e. your aunt if she’d of had your mom’s balls (one’s your mom deftly/surgically excised from your dad.)
“Coincidentally, the Chiefs’ record took a downward trend the 2 years after that loss.”
- yes, coincidentally…they got old (nod of gratitude toward Mssrs. Weepy Dick & Carl P)…
“I guess that’s the players’ fault though, right Rin?”
- the first thing you’ve said that wasn’t a case you performing self-flagellation; go on then…
“Not Herms.”
- exactly, you’re making some progress…
“Herm and CP didn’t draft and sign players.”
- no, a collaboration of folks did so as has been affirmed by them, Carl P having final say as e’er he did…
“The players drafted”
- became Chiefs…
“and signed themselves.”
- because they did not want to hear themselves screaming whence they found out the circus was coming to town, starring &
Sign: the language of self-preservation…

Someone else put a team together and Herm was NO MORE than a specteator ,just standting there at ring side— clueless .
The next year — when KC played Baltimore — I knew that the first thing they had to do was stop or slow down Ray Lewis .
Ray Lewis played like he had a special PASS to have HIS way with Herm’s Offence—UNTOUCHED over and over .
Don’t go back and look at the film’s of that MESS –SICK–SICK–SICK . I walked back to the parking lot early—and have only stayed till the end of two game’s .
Won’t go out there with anyone , in case I HAVE TO LEAVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
woulda, coulda & his other brother shoulda i.e. your aunt if she’d of had your mom’s balls (one’s your mom deftly/surgically excised from your dad.)
RTT2W why do you make it personal? Insecure?
Signing off from RTT2W, Go Chiefs!
This will be followed by his patented I am a fairy response in the posters name, gotta love it, find a joke and stick with it.

- the pain your dangling participles be palpable.
Wow…that’s some of the worst method acting I’ve ever seen Jimmy. Well look, next time – ‘focus’ – ‘concentrate’ – really get into your blather so the audience can ‘believe’ in your character.
Even though you have none…
daddy-o
“no, a collaboration of folks did so as has been affirmed by them, Carl P having final say as e’er he did…”
Yeah. That collaboration of folks was Herm’s staff. Appointed by Herm and CP. Weird.
Got anything else Rin?
steve said
- i still can’t find my capital letters…
“RTT2W why do you make it personal? Insecure?”
-
a) I could call you by your real name but then all the other neuts would feel left out…
b) he said aft personalizing Rin via RTT2W…
but that’s ok he’s just an observer herein, Perry Mason looking for the missing capital letters … the case of – “Little Letters for a Wee Man.”
“Signing off’
- he’s blasting off, it’s the wee world of litle stevie! big world, little stevie, big world little stevie…
“from RTT2W”
- with Love, Russia…
“Go Chiefs!”
- do not pass go… pass incomplete. 4th down…
“This will be followed by’
- stevie’s (un)timely death. Cioran hath said – “It is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late.”
Answer: have someone else help you ‘out’, stevie…
“his patented”
- tack as his patent leather shoes suggests he be killer…
“I am a fairy’
- of course you are – don’t try to deny it, be what cruel fate intended you to be…
“response”
- see ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya…
“in the posters name”
- He that wrote it owns it!
“gotta love it”
- as all Rin’s manna!
“find a joke and stick with it.”
- what Jr. decided to do with his hires for 2009 Chiefs – but come 2010, he will realize mistakes come in pairs…like bad implants.

“Got anything else Rin”
- no, I just handed it to you…
daddy-o
Already took those numbers too… kickin
As well the names, every… fini.
If you win Mr. Haley the fans will come, and you will get the arrowhead experience. Good luck.
Go chiefs.
And when you lose we shall laugh at you heartily.
Rin’s jokes have stooped to an all-time low. Personal insults? Really?
Rin’s the best there ever was.
Wow, you make some bold predictions you pompous weirdo. The question is, will you be man enough to admit you are wrong if the situation warrants it? To think you would mock a first time coach in his first week of his first ever training camp for forgetting to blow his whistle and showing some discipline, yet will defend a man who did nothing but make excuses – and defend him in a pompous and pretentious way that only serves to make your claims seem all the more ridiculous i might add. What exactly do you like about herm? This mancrush/flag carrying crusade fascinates me….
Just going to watch excution of plays, OL and DL. Hard to do on TV. Do not care about the score but would be nice if some of the Pioli/Haley draftee stood out. But do not see much there yet.
Hey wow, just skip his posts. There is a lot of good info. on the site. When you see Rin Tin Tin 2 win, just skip over it. Started doing it late today, works great. Although I think some of the posts congratualating him, might be him. This site does not moniter that.

“Rin’s the best there ever was.”
- without question He is!

wow said
“Wow”
- stop picking on Josh… he’ll never grow into his hoped for God complex (like never has.)
Well if everything goes as plan I will be at Arrowhead stadium for the first home game against the Raiders. So i’ll be part of that loud crowd that will help lead our Chiefs to a victory over our hated rival the Raiders.
get real said
“Just going to watch excution”
- as the famous last words , ala Gary Gilmore: “Let’s do it!”
Oh good, ’steve’ started capitalizing all the important words & those that begin a sentence.
Tomorrow: his own name…

Im no herm fan for sure – and Todd sure looks like a breath of fresh air…BUT the 06 playoff game was ours for the taking…they stuffed indys offense -the chiefs d (which was non existant) remember the 03 game at home? against same Indy… Hello….no stops….One stop might have won that game….and then in 07 we were actually in 1st for a brief second – remember the SD game? OK – Last yr – forget it…rebuilding sucks…but it looks promising in the west for us….Lets go Todd…Herm – we’re glad you’re gone – you werent SB material…but playoffs? Yes – you got us there…and made us competitive
That truth thou jus’ spoketh wuz daddy-o
All except for these select parts: be LIES
“Herm – we’re glad you’re gone – you werent SB material.”
- forgive them Holy Father Herm, they know not what they do (or say)…
“and Todd sure looks like a breath of fresh air.”
- Rin thinks looks like a &!#@ with ears…
’m gone give a shot out to Tamba and Turk. I’ve been reading other sites reporting on those two guys and they have been getting nothing but praise from reporters on how well they’ve been making the transition to linebacker. Like I’ve said before this defense is going to shock some people on how good its going to be. I also read how Tyson phyically looks dominating on the defensive line with his power and quickness.
WATCH OUT this defense is going to be really good my fellow Chiefs fans.
Geez rin I’m so sick of your drivel. I can’t wait til the regular season starts so you can start eating your words.Get a life loser.
