If you can win by osmosis...

Todd Haley, the offensive coordinator of the Cardinals was hired as the Chiefs' new head coach today.

Before becoming Arizona's offensive coordinator, he was on the staff of Dallas, Chicago and the Jets. He also scouted for The Steelers and Jets. But that's not the half of it.

Remember Bradshaw and Swan and Harris and Greene? Todd Haley used to bring them Gatorade. He was the waterboy for the Steelers during the halcyon days of the 1980's. But that's not even the REAL connection. He got that job because his dad was Dick Haley, the director of personnel for the Steelers from 1971 until 1990. Anyone who played for those Steelers teams and was drafted or brought in as a free agent during those years, was approved by Dick Haley.

Not bad genes.

Then, he went on to work to help with the bills -- Bill Cowher, Bill Belichick, and Bill Parcells.

He was offered the head coaching job at Miami last year by Parcells, and turned it down.

I think the boy has been exposed to how to build a football team. Let's hope he took good notes.
