Chan Gailey no longer Chiefs OC. Haley now calling plays!

August 31st, 2009 · No Comments

Very rare to see an Offensive or Defense Coordinator fired this close to the beginning of regular season beginning!  But based on what I’ve seen in preseason, it’s a smart move.  Their offense was so bland and predictable So, those who have, or are planning to draft Chiefs, you have something to cheer about.

Preseason Week 1: Browns vs Packers Fantasy Notes

August 22nd, 2009 · 1 Comment
