I could see taking Haley to task for a few issues (namely that fourth preseason game), but blaming him for the current pear-shape of the season is just a bit ridiculous. If the Chefs hit .500 this season, he should be Coach of the Year. If they go 0-16, given the fact that nobody seems to have knees in the KC metro area anymore, I don't think anybody should be surprised, and hanging him out to dry isn't going to solve anything. And bringing in Josh McDaniels...oh, God, it's nonsensically idiotic enough to be plausible. And this is the point at which I suggest that Scott Pioli might be too dumb to live.
My suggestions for the Big 12 were to meet, shitcan Beebe (which has been a long time coming), vote out OU and UT (who seem intent on undermining the conference by threatening to bolt at every turn), and merge with the remnants of the Big East. Texas is going to have its sweetheart deal with ESPN any way it's cut, and there's no point in pretending there's a level playing field with that condition. Oklahoma would join the Warsaw Pact if it gave them fifty cents more a year and soothed their ego. If OSU and Missou want to go and can find anyone that wants them, punt 'em too.
What's going to end up happening is that, when all the cards are dealt and the dust settles some 15-odd years from now is that ESPN, by virtue of the Longhorn Network, will have killed the NCAA. And I just wish it could come sooner.
