AGM Linebacker and I will bring the pain.

I'm a sports fanatic. I hail from Nelson County Virginia, and thats where I learned to be a Virginia Cavalier fan. I also learned to be a Dallas Cowboys fan because I hated how good the Redskins were doing. I've played sports at almost every level with the exception of being a fulltime professional, as a result I have a great perception on the sporting world. I love to talk sports and I've never been shy to share my opinion with someone.

Kansas City Chiefs Turn To Todd Haley To Coach Them

Kansas City Chiefs Hire Todd Haley As Head Coach

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's name has bounced around the coaching carousel since the Arizona Cardinals made their big splash in the post season this year.

According to sources Haley was in Kansas City earlier this week on interviews with the team. Todd Haley will be a nice addition to the Chiefs organization.

Haley may best be know for his fiery explosion on the sidelines with disgruntled wide out Anquan Boldin. There is no doubt that Todd Haley is an extremely fierce competitor and he will light a fire under what has been an underachieving Kansas City Chiefs team. However, my once concern with hiring Haley is he may be too much of a competitor to be a head coach. It is okay to be the in your face coach when you are a coordinator, but once you become the head coach it is your job to become a manager. Todd Haley will have to tone his temper down just a bit, especially considering some of the personalities on the Chiefs.

Wow, so.....

No Todd Haley.

Anquan Boldin is probably not coming back.

Kurt Warner is possibly not coming back.

The Super Bowl Loser's Curse.

Things are already looking up for the Seahawks!

Seriously though, the temper problem has to go, but at least he won't have to deal with Larry Johnson being stupid. Let's see what he can do, he was a big part in Arizona's success and now he has to rebuild a totally crap offense in KC.

He has said all season that he is going to test free agency. Fitzgerald said last week that he would restructure his contract to keep Boldin.

You know Boldin, since Houshmazilly could be an Eagle, and Crabtree coming here isn't a guarantee, I have a team where you can stay.

Boldin I think has some sort of clause in his contract that would let him out of Arizona.

You're right, JuT, my bad. He has threatened to demand a trade.

I haven't seen anything...lemme know

I remember during the Boldin/Fitz potential trades last year, Boldin has 3 years left (including 2008) and when Fitz signed, he was really upset and was saying that he was prepared to walk in 2011...

I do believe he's looking to force a trade...

S'all good...I was posting on an Eagles message board about this...but someone else mentioned Boldin was an FA...which is incorrect... maybe there is an outclause, but I think he's looking for a trade like that article says...
