Andy Reid On Todd Haley
Philadelphia’s Andy Reid is one of the longest tenured head coaches in the NFL right now. Reid is in his 11th season as leader of the Eagles. Only Tennessee Titans head man Jeff Fisher has held his job longer; he’s in his 16th season.
He took over the Philadelphia job back in 1999 after coaching with the Packers for seven seasons on the staff of Mike Holmgren. When he arrived with the Eagles, he handled the play calling for the offense. “Early on, I did everything,” said Reid.
Thus, he understands where Todd Haley is coming from as the rookie head coach has also become the Chiefs offensive coordinator.
“Todd is extremely good at what he does,” Reid said on Wednesday. “When I was in his chair during my first year I absolutely did everything. I made sure that every play, every drawing and everything was the way that I wanted it. You build a foundation that way, just like he is doing.
“He is doing it his way, building a foundation that will strengthen him to have a nice, long career in Kansas City. I know what Todd is doing and he’s doing it the right way.”
Reid said when the offense struggled he turned over the keys to the offense’s car to assistants like Brad Childress and Marty Mornhinweg, who is currently the Eagles assistant head coach/offensive coordinator.
“I never hesitated, if things weren’t working, to turn it over to Brad or Marty,” said Reid. “That wasn’t a hesitation. Whether it was during a game or a week or whatever it might be.
“I’m still involved. Marty and I talk every day about the offense and so on. It’s a unique situation and it was the same way with Brad. I was with him at Northern Arizona and had a lot of trust in him.”
.
“Todd is extremely good at what he does,” Reid said on Wednesday. “When I was in his chair during my first year I absolutely did everything. I made sure that every play, every drawing and everything was the way that I wanted it. You build a foundation that way, just like he is doing.
“He is doing it his way, building a foundation that will strengthen him to have a nice, long career in Kansas City. I know what Todd is doing and he’s doing it the right way.”
I’m pretty damned sure Coach Reid never said anything like this about The Herminator.
What….. Reid going against the village idiot ……saying Haley is very good !!!!!!! Just affirms what Hunt/KC already knows…. Haley/Pioli is The Man …..not that old coach/Gm whats their name . PnS
That was great Andy…you been studying with Bob DeNiro again huh. OK, now this time tell us the truth Andy – how you’re gonna rub s nose in it out in Philly on Sunday afternoon…
heh heh heh!
Andy Reid said “I know what Todd is doing”
- had no idea Andy graduated Bill Belichick’s In The Hood(ie School) “Disinformation, Black Ops & Telephoto Lenses”…can you let know what he’s doing too? He hasn’t a clue…
daddy-o
Oh Rinnie the pooh??? You can’t run retard! I mean…my special boy. HA!!
What you are about to read makes ample use of the swear word “Damn.” Please be advised before reading.
Damn Haley.
Damn Haley for demoting D-Bowe and embarrassing him until he started making blocks downfield and stopped dropping the ball!
Damn Haley for benching Mr. Fumble-rooski Jamaal Charles, who has home run ability but just hasn’t hit any home runs yet in the 21 games he has been a Chief!
Damn Haley for using Savage instead who played pretty well and has shown consistant promise since preseason when he has been given an opportunity.
Damn Haley for playing Matt Cassel over Brodie Croyle, Tyler Thigpen, Trent Green (current day version) Lenny Dawson (current day version) Ryan Leaf, Santa Clause and Barney the Purple Dinosaur.
Damn Haley for yelling at Jack O’Connel for not being on the field when he was supposed to be and costing the team a time out!
Damn Haley for yelling at Brodie Croyle who, after a time out, somehow managed to get the team a delay of game by not SNAPPING THE F#^$ING BALL!”
Damn Haley for berating the morons on special teams who stood around a punted football and had a circle jerk instead of picking up said ball before it rolled into the GOD DAMN ENDZONE!
Damn Haley for not answering questions the way Jason Whitlock wants him to.
Damn Haley for choosing to fulfill his obligation to speak to the media but exercising his right to not make public his plans until the absolute last moment so as not to give his opponent any unnecessary advantage before Sunday.
Damn Haley for saying he will start the players he and his coaches feel will give the team the best chance to win and then ACTUALLY DOING IT!
Damn Haley for demoting DJ and then getting 2 games in a row of solid production out of him! We like our DJ awesome one game and non-existent the next game. None of this consistent play, earning your starting spot for Chiefs fans! If they are supposed to be good we want them in the line up whether they perform consistently on the field or not!
Damn Haley for nearly knocking off the Ravens, who were in the AFC Championship game last season, on the road, without his starting QB and CB.
Damn Haley for getting his team to show remarkable improvement in offensive yards, first downs, 3rd down completion percentage and run production in a matter of a week. Furthermore, damn Haley for getting his defense to have a complete turn around, with a tip to the hat of J Russel. Damn particularly the defensive line which had its best game in years and the run defense which shut down a potent running attack that gashed them for 100’s of yards last season.
Damn Haley for yelling at his players for making stupid mental errors like jumping off sides and killing drives on a day where the offense was moving the football. Damn him for not waiting until the game was over and he was behind closed doors to berate his players and express his displeasure. As the boss, he should wait until the team is done screwing up before letting them know about it.
Damn Haley for letting that Bobby Wade guy play over Mark Bradley. That Bobby Wade guy who caught 3 passes on the team’s first scoring drive, including a 16-yard pass.
Damn Haley for not sprinkling some magic fairy dust on a team that won 2 of 14 games the previous year to make them a winner in a matter of 2 games. Damn the improvement shown on the pass rush, however mild it has been. We want 6 sacks a game damn it. We want them from Wallace Gilberry and Wallace Gilberry alone. And we want them now.
Damn Haley for making it apparent that he is doing everything in his power to turn the Kansas City Chiefs into a winning football franchise. Damn him for demanding accountability from the players and coaches, including offensive coordinators. Damn him for following through on his word instead of just saying “we can build on this” like Herman Edwards.
Damn Todd Haley. He is a garbage head coach. He is a terrible game manager. He is mean to his players. He makes them work hard in training camp. He wants them to be winners. He demands perfection. He endlessly searches for the best player at every position. He doesn’t take their crap and stands up to them as their boss and not their friend.
Damn Todd Haley. Damn him to hell.
I agree Larry, good post!
Also, I like men, not women – so any guys out there up for some homo-erotic adventures, just post here and we can “get together” on this!
daddy-o
Oh wait, I did find where Reid has commented on Herm. “That doofus had no business being an NFL head coach. He’ll never be one in this league again”.
Those were my posts under Rin Tin Tin’s name. Sorry.
Real Rin ® daddy-o sez
FINAL SCORE SUNDAY -
PHIL 38 – ch(sputter)ie (wheeze)fs (splat) 13
heh heh heh!

You cant help but think about the story I use to read to my kids. It seems to be appropriate for this blog ….. with one hare judging the whole season on 2 games . If you haven’t already guess Iam talking about the Tortoise & The Hare ….we all know the ending the tortoise wins .The tortoise keeps his head down walking his way …..while the hare runs…. stops to run his mouth ….in the end is a no show at the finish line.Mush like the chiefs under Carl/Herm. PnS
Uh, no they were not. I have never, nor will I ever, post under another posters name.
Rin you are about as childish as they come. A grown man would be embarrassed to pull the nonsense you do.
Sheesh.
Stiv and the rest need to quit impersonating Rin… then they’ll all feel better.
Sheesh.
Wow Rin, that was some real insight into this coming Sunday’s contest. I don’t think I could have said it better if I were a 6 yr old autistic kid.
Try child, try…
heh heh heh!
How sad to watch someone paint a clown suit on themselves.
Damn Haley for bringing Monty biesel back so that he could be the leader of the circle jerk as he watched the football go into the end zone, he is Haley’s moron, but was Vermiel’s first time around…
And I wouldn’t quite tip my hat to J Russell larry, he completed 7 of 24 for 109 yards… 4 completions or was it 6 on the last drive to win the freakin game… Sorta like how the Dolphins can give the ball to the colts for less then a quarter and still lose the game… I would rather see the team get blown out then watch that junk.
How sad to watch someone paint a clown suit on themselves.
I know. I’m a real mess.
Larry Goebbels gobbled
“Damn Haley for yelling at Jack O’Connel for not being on the field when he was supposed to be and costing the team a time out!”
- who’s Jack? He related to ‘Jake’ last name two l’s O’Connell, Chiefs TE? Or maybe his dad? But why would his dad Jack need to be on the field – living vicariously through Jake?
Damn! None of your blog makes any sense at all Larry Goebbels – but then neither does when he speaks, coaches or fidgets at the podium.
Damn, Larry. That was damn good post. Best damn post I’ve seen here in a long damn time. Which is a damn shame, really.
And of course it didn’t make sense to you, Rin. Because, it DID make sense. It was well thought out, added a sense of humor, and a healty dose of truth. None of which, would make any sense at all to a friggin’ MORON like yourself.
While we’re at it, damn YOU Rin, for fu*king up Bob’s site on a daily basis. You’re nothing but a low-life, Chief hating piece of sh*t. F*ck you.
I think Haley will be one of the most successful Chiefs coaches of all time. He just needs time to get more talented players on the roster. I gurantee year 3 under Haley will be alot more successful than year 3 under Herm. As for Rin like I’ve said before just don’t read the guy blogs. If you do that then you want be getting all upset about the foolishness he writes.
Damn, A-Train. That was damn sorry post. Sorriest damn post I’ve seen here in a long damn time. Which is a damn shame, really.

Damn good post Larry! One of the best damn posts in a long time! Thanks for one of the most well reasoned and expressed entries we’ve seen here.
Nice post, maybe Bob is not RTT after all.
You know its funny, Rin posted throughout the whole game Vs. The Raiders. It seems he probably spent more time posting than watching.
I actually kind of feel sorry for Rin. In truth its really kind of sad that posting blogs is that significant in your life. Like if this blog means that much to him, maybe we should all show Rin some love.
If he is smart as he acts, he must understand that it is not a good indication of a happy life to dedicate that much time to a blog. Which is why I am lead to believe that RTT is retired, unemployed, or is a guy that has an easy free lance website job with a football team and blogs in all of his free time to vent frustration at how the ball didn’t fall his way.
Nice post, maybe Bob is not Kevin B after all.
You know its funny, Kev posted throughout the whole game Vs. The Raiders. It seems he probably spent more time posting than watching.

Rin Tin Tin is the greatest blogger in the history of the NFL!
He’s not a blogger, he’s a blog commenter.
FACT: Rin tin tin is not a blogger, but is in fact, a blog commentator.
FACT: Rin tin tin is not a blogger, but is in fact, a complete dickhead.
Spit me out, Rin. I’m all used up. You’ve sucked my completely dry. I’m done.
P.S. Herm’s asshole would appreciate you removing your lips from him, too. He told me to tell you that he appreciates your dedication, but he’s moved on to other things and you should too.
Andy Reid’s Mustache – you are CORRECT!
heh heh heh!
ppl qit bitching back at rin the guys a loser with no life if u dont respond maybr he will go away
FACT: awesome is spelled awesome, not awsome.
Larry, excellent post about Haley and the Chiefs. Don’t pay no attention to Lassie,Lassie’s fake crew, and arrowhead1978 as they wouldn’t understand and don’t want to understand. Winning means paying attention to detail and that’s what did not happen last year. Once the Chiefs start playing for a full 60 minutes and not 50-58 minutes the wins will come. Right now they need to find something positive to hang their hat on and inspire confidence instead of feeling that something bad will happen.
I eat my own poop.
Larry Goebbels should point out that his “Damn Haley” comment is copied from a piece originally published on the Arrowhead Pride blog.
Doesn’t matter-it’s still well written by whomever wrote it the first time. Please quit posting in RTT’s name- he’s the only one I scroll past without reading and I won’t see yours if you publish under his.
um Bakjon, I dont think you understand either, how exactly is Haley the best coach in the NFL?? I think Sparano came in his first year as the Miami Dolphins coach from a 1 win season and had the team in the playoffs the next season. So, hmm, hmm, what exactly is the hold-up with Haley?? Do you understand?
By the way Cassell is junk, if you can’t see it then your a blatant homo!!!
Yea and if he didn’t write it he should at least list his references… Damn plagiarist..
Bakjon says “Winning means paying attention to detail and that’s what did not happen last year. Once the Chiefs start playing for a full 60 minutes and not 50-58 minutes the wins will come.”
When exactly is this playing for 60 minutes supposed to start? It seems to me that it’s the same problem they’re having this year? So it really isn’t just last years problem anymore, is it??
no one is going to want to play for hailey if hes a jerk to his players
Rin HATES plagiarism! Cut, it, out…
Larry Goebbels is a LOSER!
Even though I do copy and paste everyone’s post who disagrees with me that is….I DON”T CARE! Bothing has to make sense as long as I’m cool with it!
Right guys?
guys…..?
I’m so alone
WHY WON”T MY FAMILY COME VISIT ME!?!?!?!?!?
