Chiefs Fire Offensive Coordinater Chan Gailey

LMAO! A coordinator fired during the preseason? Is this the first time any NFL coach has been fired during the preseason?

 

Wow.....This is going to be awfully tough for the Chiefs at this point. Cassell down and the OC out right before start of the season. In a year that looked like a good rebuilding year things just got harder.

 

Holy crap...wow!!! I'm guessing Haley is taking over the offense now.

 

Strange timing with this move.

 

Dude wtf is with the FO?

 

:icon_confused::icon_confused:

 

I just don't get this. Changing to a new system now? Haley is doing things his way now and that could be very different than the way things were run by Gailey.

 

Geez....why didn't they just wait until right before the opening kickoff Week 1?

 

Chiefs being the Chiefs hboy:

 

Exactly. There has to be some more behind this, wouldn't you think? Just very odd timing to fire a coach that's been around the league a while. Very odd.

 

This ^^^

 

Wouldn't a difference in philosophy have been noticed before now?

 

I'll wait for the press conference before I start looking for answers on my own.

 

Makes sense HH....just conjecture on our part right now.

 

It's too early in the new regime for me to be questioning their every move.

 

Even the Raiders laugh at that management style. Firing your OC on August 31, wow.


ps
I hope twinky Jauron gets fired before week 1.

 

:icon_lol:

 

Well it wasnt Chan's system...so its not a big loss like some ppl are thinking it is. Just gives Haley a more hands on with the players. Could be a plus if Haley felt things werent going right.

 

I am unable to open the link here at work, I think it will come down to one of two things, 1) Chan has some type of health problem. 2) Haley wants to pass more than Gailey, who is more of a run first guy.
