The Wrath of Todd Haley

I am starting to have serious concerns about the future of the Chiefs. In a stretch of three straight winnable home games, I expected to see an improving Chiefs team. What I’ve seen is “22 guys off the street” that look like they’ve never seen a football before. Who is at the center of all this failure? The head coach.

As Turner Gill’s introductory press conference concluded this morning, I couldn’t help but be impressed. Gill passes the eye test with flying colors, and just listening to that man talk gets me fired up about the future of the KU football program.

In the midst of all of the drug-taking, player-poking, bashing tweets, and general disarray surrounding Kansas City and KU sports right now is a small ray of light. Sure, Zack Greinke won the Cy Young yesterday, which I’m not sure everyone is aware of due to all of the day’s other breaking news, but an even bigger award was presented to a KC sports figure.
