The Facts:
HC Todd Haley could wind up calling plays next year. Haley said Tuesday he intends to hire a replacement for OC Charlie Weis, who is leaving to take a similar position at Florida. But Haley also indicated he might take a bigger role in calling plays, which he did in 2009 when he fired OC Chan Gailey shortly before the season opener and assumed the position himself.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Haley was a successful coordinator at Arizona, helping the Cardinals get to the Super Bowl before he took over in Kansas City in 2009. Asked Tuesday if he would consider calling plays next year, Haley said, “I’ll consider anything. ...” A number of possible replacements for Weis have drawn mention, including Josh McDaniels, who was fired before the end of the season as HC in Denver. But the two have had a stormy relationship. Another possibility may be Nick Sirianni, the Chiefs’ young quality control coach on offense. Sirianni would seem like a long shot because he has only two years in the NFL. But Haley has spoken highly of him in the past and given him much credit for taking a big hand in Cassel’s improvement. ... Whoever gets hired will be Haley’s third OC in three years. He said he’s not concerned about a perception he’s not an easy head coach for an offensive coordinator to work for.
