Chiefs can Gailey as coordinator, mum on Cassel

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Rookie coach Todd Haley fired Chan Gailey as Kansas City's offensive coordinator on Monday and assumed the role himself, 13 days ahead of the season opener at Baltimore.

Haley refused to comment on the status of quarterback Matt Cassel, who sustained an apparent knee injury on Saturday night and could be out for a time, raising even more concerns for the offense. Cassel was sacked on the first passing play against Seattle and limped away.

"I'm only going to talk about the players who are on the field," Haley said.

Haley also said that making himself offensive coordinator while still finding his way as a head coach was the most difficult decision he's faced. He was offensive coordinator the past two years at Arizona.

Umm okaaay--its only preseason and you fire your OC? Yeaaah...I'm thinking its not gonna be a good year for KC...:crazy:

KC has many problems but having an effective OC shouldn't be one of them.

Chan Gailey was the Cowboys coach when Princess Diana died in Paris.

Chan Gailey also presided over the demise of the Cowboys. Not sure where you are going with your comments, mix.

All I can remember about Gailey's tenure is that he was at the helm when Di died.
