Okay, now you can give up, Chiefs fans

Todd "Bro" Haley fired. A bit unfair given the hole injuries put him in this season (Pioli put them in their no-redundancies scheme more than Haley did), but after losing yesterday, the way they did yesterday (seriously, 81 yards of penalties in one drive?),

To make matters worse, he's replaced by Romeo Crennel on an interim basis, because apparently Jim Zorn wasn't available (oh, wait, he was). Maybe y'all should've just let the team coach themselves by consensus.

And if Pioli brings in Josh McDaniels, I may add a new skull to my wishlist.

After last night's game, I don't see Jason Garrett long for the coaching world. Cowboys fans are about to string him up. *snickers*

I caught maybe two plays of the night game (and one was a kickoff touchback). There's only so many cutaways to Jerry and Gene Jones I can take. I just hope that, when the Grim Reaper comes for Jerry, he's wearing a fedora.

Garrett's out, you're right, but probably only when the Boys get mathematically eliminated (as I believe the Chefs were yesterday). Sparano's out in Miami, but he would've been out this year if they'd gotten the other Harbaugh. Have to think Andy Reid and Jim Caldwell are on thin ice, too. Tom Coughlin probably bought himself another few weeks.

And, of course, Norv is gone. Even if they won rings this year, I still think he's gone.

Rumor is that the timing was so that the Chiefs can get a jump on courting Cowher. While the lack-of-depth-chart was some of Pioli's doing, the "we don't need no stinkin' preseason" training regimen was purely Haley's doing. It was obvious to even the casual observer yesterday that Haley had lost the team.

Cris and I had vowed not to renew if Haley was still coach just yesterday. So there's $260 I need to come up with.

I hadn't heard Cowher mentioned in KC yet. Of all the HC candidates out there (aside from, of course, Marty), he's probably my favorite. I'd heard him mentioned as a possibility in San Diego along with Jeff Fisher, but reeling him in in KC would be a real coup. But I think Pioli's mind has been made up on McDaniels since the latter was let go. Ironic that Pioli's operating under more of a Bro Code than Todd Haley.

And you're right -- Haley rolled the dice on the shortened preseason and promptly swallowed them, and Pioli can't take the blame for the charlie-foxtrot yesterday. (I flipped over the channel just long enough to catch the score, then ambled back to Skyrim. Time better spent.)

Hmmm... wonder if they could get Kyle Orton and Matt Cassel (and maybe Jamal Charles) to run things for a few weeks since they are paying them and all.
