Report: Haley accepts offer to be Chiefs coach

From FOX Sports

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 interviewed for the position earlier this week and a Cardinals player at the Pro Bowl told FOXSports.com Haley was scheduled to arrive in Honolulu for the Pro Bowl Thursday as a guest of Cardinals wideout Larry Fitzgerald, but canceled at the last moment because of the Kansas City job.

"He's going to be a big loss for us," another Cards player told FOXSports.com.

A different Cardinals player said, "He was really liked in the locker room, because we felt like he was always trying to figure something out for us for Sundays. He never stopped."

Haley called the plays for the high-flying Cardinals offense that shocked the world by not only getting to the Super Bowl, but nearly winning it last Sunday.

this says OFFERED, not ACCEPTS...

hopefully, you didn't jinx it, huh?

I don't know what article you're reading JRock, but this does say he accepts... they're just working out the contract now.

ya, says he was offered the position and that he accepted it. First sentence.

You ask me, I dont think 2 little arguments with the players during the playoffs really grants him to be that great of a guy... i mean, that was the only time his name ever really popped up too often.

Good hire.
Time to see a turn around in the KC.

I dont think a guy with no head coaching experience is the right direction for this team.

If I was a fan of the team I would have wanted someone with experience.
