I was simply saying that KC could just be waiting until the Steelers win to hire their new head coach

To be honest I think Haley would be a bad hire. Scenes like the one with Boldin on the sideline follow Haley around. In Dallas it was well known that his poor communication lead to arguements with TO, Keyshon, and Glenn

I cannot see how adding a guy with a track record of fighting with his super stars is a good plan toward rebuilding a fractures team like KC. Notew this is not the good disagreements like Parcells has, in which the Tuna lays down the law and then enforces it. This is just frustration because Haley does not interact with his players on any level.

It certainly does not seem like the Patriot way, which is exactly how things will be done in KC from now on.

expect KC to drop the axe... maybe Dallas, if their young offseason continues with the controversy. I think Jax and Cincy stay pat though. Jax with good reason. Cincy? uh... well... they are Cincy.

at least in Cinncy they have a QB, who when healthy can be expected to play better than probably 60% of the league

problem is keeping him healthy

part of that is getting a defense

the other part is protection

I was shocked to see an aging tackle like Willie Anderson actually have one of he best seasons in Baltimore. Which leads me to believe there was an upgrade coaching wise.

If the Benglas stick with Lewis they need to force changes in his staff upon him.

Mike Brown will not fire Lewis as he does not want to eat the salary. Rumors abound of other teams wanting to raid the Bengals staff. Maybe QB coach Ken Zampese to the Lions or something.

I know Zampese is Ryan's #1 choice with the Jets, if Brian Schottenheimer is fired.

I was specifically talking to the Oline. Historically under Lewis the Bengals have not been able to keep either QBs or RBs healthy. I mean the track record on that is pretty clear and that is a POOR reflection on their oline in my opinion.

If this is the only part of the post someone saw, you could very well have been talking about Parcells.

I understand, which is why I added the next paragraph

there is a distinct difference in why the two men conflict with some players

one does not like you and tells everyone so ~ which is why even players that hate him line up to play for him

the other does not like you and keeps it to himself ~ which is why he has almost had his arse kicked by three different WRs
