Amazingly, he was not asked about his messy departure from Kansas City. New coordinator Daboll wants Chiefs to attack on offense http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/07/3415817/new-coordinator-daboll-wants-chiefs.html http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/07/3415817/new-coordinator-daboll-wants-chiefs.html#storylink=rss Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:00 CST Brian Daboll said the right things, leaned on his impressive set of influences, and introduced himself to Kansas City as an offensive coordinator who's confident and comfortable -- and who might break from the pack and stay a while. Haley lands in Pittsburgh http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/07/3415171/haley-lands-in-pittsburgh.html http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/07/3415171/haley-lands-in-pittsburgh.html#storylink=rss Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:41 CST Former Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley has been named the offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Former Chief Willie Roaf elected to Pro Football Hall of Fame http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/04/3410118/willie-roaf-selected-to-pro-football.html http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/04/3410118/willie-roaf-selected-to-pro-football.html#storylink=rss Sat, 04 Feb 2012 05:00 CST Kansas City gave Willie Roaf the boost he needed to be elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Roaf, a towering offensive tackle who spent the last four seasons of his career with the Chiefs after nine years in New Orleans, was among six players voted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday night. Roaf's road to Canton http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/04/3410820/roafs-road-to-canton.html http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/04/3410820/roafs-road-to-canton.html#storylink=rss Sat, 04 Feb 2012 05:00 CST Personal and career highlights in the life of former Chiefs and Saints tackle Willie Roaf, 41, who on Saturday was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Cassel is familiar with Chiefs' target for offensive coordinator http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/04/3409448/brian-daboll-to-be-chiefs-offensive.html http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/04/3409448/brian-daboll-to-be-chiefs-offensive.html#storylink=rss Sat, 04 Feb 2012 05:00 CST Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel doesn't make a habit of studying the offenses of opposing teams. But he admits to paying some attention when he's watching the offenses of Brian Daboll, who was the Patriots' receivers coach for a couple of seasons while Cassel played in New England. Haley reportedly lands job as Steelers offensive coordinator http://chiefsblog.kansascity.com/?q=node/1950 http://chiefsblog.kansascity.com/?q=node/1950#storylink=rss Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:27 CST Reports surfaced Monday that former Chiefs coach Todd Haley will be named the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive coordinator, replacing Bruce Arians, who wasn't retained after the 2011 season. Chiefs make Daboll new offensive coordinator; Haley nears Steelers job http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/06/3413194/chiefs-make-daboll-new-offensive.html http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/06/3413194/chiefs-make-daboll-new-offensive.html#storylink=rss Mon, 06 Feb 2012 05:00 CST The Chiefs made it official the day after the Super Bowl, naming Brian Daboll as its new offensive coordinator. Daboll, 36, was Miami's coordinator in 2011, but the Dolphins did not retain him after Joe Philbin replaced Tony Sparano as head coach. Hiring Daboll just another pat move by the Chiefs http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/04/3410634/hiring-daboll-not-a-bold-move.html http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/04/3410634/hiring-daboll-not-a-bold-move.html#storylink=rss Sat, 04 Feb 2012 05:00 CST Maybe the Chiefs choosing Brian Daboll as the team's new offensive coordinator is a good hire, maybe it's bad, but here is what it definitely is not: bold. In choosing an old New England co-worker, new head coach Romeo Crennel followed the established Scott Pioli pattern of valuing familiarity above inspiration. Chiefs assured one prime-time game in 2012 http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/03/3408209/chiefs-assured-one-prime-time.html http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/03/3408209/chiefs-assured-one-prime-time.html#storylink=rss Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:00 CST The Chiefs will be guaranteed at least one prime-time, regular-season game in 2012.

They've hurt every day for as long as he can remember. Belichick in rarefied air among coaches http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/02/3407395/belichick-in-rarefied-air-among.html http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/02/3407395/belichick-in-rarefied-air-among.html#storylink=rss Thu, 02 Feb 2012 05:00 CST Bill Belichick told a joke the other day. Seriously. Coughlin goes from hot seat to Super Bowl http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/02/3407397/coughlin-goes-from-hot-seat-to.html http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/02/3407397/coughlin-goes-from-hot-seat-to.html#storylink=rss Thu, 02 Feb 2012 05:00 CST Every year, it seems, as the New York Giants' season teeters toward a disappointing finish, coach Tom Coughlin finds himself listed in some ignominious company. Former Chiefs Shields, Roaf wait for Hall call http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/03/3408766/former-chiefs-shields-roaf-wait.html http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/03/3408766/former-chiefs-shields-roaf-wait.html#storylink=rss Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:00 CST New England Patriots guard Brian Waters doesn't think it's a difficult choice between former Chiefs offensive linemen Willie Roaf and Will Shields for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Offensive line coach Bill Muir tells Chiefs he's retiring http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/01/3403891/bill-muir-tells-chiefs-hes-retiring.html http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/01/3403891/bill-muir-tells-chiefs-hes-retiring.html#storylink=rss Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:00 CST Bill Muir coached in the NFL for 30 seasons and was planning for a 31st, this one as the Chiefs' offensive line coach. The 69-year-old Muir had an abrupt change of heart this week. On Wednesday, he walked into the office of Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel and said he was retiring from the Chiefs and from football. Chiefs still seeking final pieces for coaching staff http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/03/3408684/chiefs-still-seeking-final-pieces.html http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/03/3408684/chiefs-still-seeking-final-pieces.html#storylink=rss Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:00 CST The Chiefs got a jump on other NFL teams looking for a new head coach or assistant coaches by promoting their defensive coordinator, Romeo Crennel, to the top job on Jan. 9. Almost a month later, the Chiefs are still looking for an offensive coordinator and position coaches for wide receivers and the offensive line. At the rate they're going, the Chiefs might not have a full staff by the start of training camp this summer. Chiefs narrow coordinator search, want QB competition http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/02/3406996/chiefs-narrow-coordinator-search.html http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/02/3406996/chiefs-narrow-coordinator-search.html#storylink=rss Thu, 02 Feb 2012 05:00 CST Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel has interviewed quarterbacks coach Jim Zorn and Oakland Raiders offensive coordinator Al Saunders for the vacant offensive coordinator's job and emphasized Thursday the need to bring in competition for Matt Cassel at starting quarterback. A late bloomer, Pierre-Paul has become a star http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/01/3405033/a-late-bloomer-pierre-paul-has.html http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/01/3405033/a-late-bloomer-pierre-paul-has.html#storylink=rss Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:00 CST Somewhere high in the stands at Lucas Oil Stadium, Jean Pierre-Paul will take in Super Bowl XLVI. Eli Manning and the science of clutch play http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/01/3405029/eli-manning-against-thousands.html http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/01/3405029/eli-manning-against-thousands.html#storylink=rss Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:00 CST The questions about his brother are both silly and annoying, but the ones about how Eli Manning will perform in America's biggest game are not. This will be different than four years ago, when he could play freer, when the thousands of years of evolution weren't hitting his body in the same way they will be this weekend. In other words, now is his chance to convince the NFL's skeptical circle. Ex-Liberty coach was a big part of Patriots' early days http://www.kansascity.com/2012/01/31/3403009/ex-liberty-coach-was-a-big-part.html http://www.kansascity.com/2012/01/31/3403009/ex-liberty-coach-was-a-big-part.html#storylink=rss Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00 CST A good player on some long forgotten teams, Ron Hall was on the verge of being lost to history. He toiled for the Boston Patriots during the mostly regrettable early days of the franchise, an era even their most ardent of fans didn't want to remember.
