Kansas City Chiefs Coach Todd Haley Has Been Fired

Then QB Matt Cassel got hurt, and Tyler Palko was the alternative. Over the last 6 games, the Chiefs have scored 45 points, and the two touchdowns were a Hail Mary and a quasi-Hail Mary through a sea of hands in New York in garbage time. That is the third lowest total over a 6-game stretch since 2002, behind only the 2008 Browns (31 points from games 11 to 16) and 2009 Raiders (42 points from games 2 to 7).

Haley lost his cool on the sidelines (again) in New York and was penalized in a second half, something that rarely happens to coaches for sideline behavior. Watching Palko (16-of-32 passing, sacked five times) probably set him off. Pioli had enough, whether it was the antics, or the fact that the Chiefs have now lost 5 games by at least 27 points this year.
