The Kansas City Chiefs introduced Todd Haley as head coach on February 6, 2009. Haley had served as the Cardinals offensive coordinator from 2007-08, and helped lead one of the most explosive offenses in league history. The Cardinals advanced to Super Bowl XLIII behind Pro Bowl quarterback Kurt Warner and a pair of Pro Bowl receivers Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin.


A coaching veteran of 12 NFL seasons, Todd Haley joined the Cardinals as offensive coordinator after being hired on 1/25/07. Previously the Dallas Cowboys wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator for three seasons (2004-06), Haley was reunited with Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt with whom he worked on the staff of the New York Jets in 2000.


In Haley’s first season as a coordinator, the Cardinals finished the season with the 5th ranked passing offense in the NFL and also set a franchise record with 32 passing touchdowns. The Cardinals scored 404 points on the season, the second highest total in franchise history (423, 1984) and also scored 20+ points in each of the final eight games of the season, the longest streak since 1983-84. Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald was selected to his second Pro Bowl with an NFC leading 100 receptions and 1,409 yards, quarterback Kurt Warner threw for 27 TD passes, one short of the team record, and running back Edgerrin James rushed for 1,222 yards, the fifth-highest total in team history. The Cardinals also finished 2nd in the NFL with a 94% scoring percentage inside the redzone (New England, 94.4 percent).


Haley helped lead the Dallas passing attack in 2006 that finished 5th in the NFL in yardage and 4th in the league in passing net yards per play while featuring a first-time starting quarterback in Pro Bowl selection Tony Romo. Haley’s passing attack helped the Cowboys finish 2nd in the NFL in third down efficiency (Colts) and 4th in points per game. Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens finished sixth in the NFC with 85 receptions for 1,180 yards and an NFL leading 13 touchdown receptions while fellow receiver Terry Glenn went over 1,000 yards receiving for the second consecutive season with 70 grabs for 1,047 yards (15.0 yard avg.) and six touchdowns.


In 2005, Dallas finished the year as one of only two NFL teams (St. Louis) with a pair of receivers who each had over 500 receptions and 7,500 receiving yards for their careers in veterans Keyshawn Johnson and Terry Glenn. Glenn tied for the league lead in yards-per-catch with an average of 18.3 yards and recorded the first 1,000-yard receiving season for the Cowboys since 1999 with his 1,136 yards and eight touchdowns. Johnson led the team in receptions with 71 and was second in touchdowns with six. Dallas was the only NFL team in 2005 to produce three players who each had at least 62 receptions as tight end Jason Witten (66 receptions) joined Glenn (62) and Johnson (71).


In Haley’s first year in Dallas (2004), Johnson finished the season with 70 catches for a team-high 981 yards and tied for the team lead with six touchdown catches. Prior to a season ending foot injury, Glenn was averaging 16.7 yards-per-catch on 24 receptions (400 yards) with a pair of scores. A pair of rookies – Patrick Crayton and Terrance Copper - were the biggest recipients of Haley's teaching as both surfaced as productive late season additions.


Haley joined the Cowboys staff after three years as the wide receivers coach with the Chicago Bears (2001-03). Despite working with three different starting quarterbacks with the Bears in 2003, three of Haley's receivers topped the 40-catch mark for the season, with Marty Booker leading the club with 52 receptions and 715 receiving yards. Dez White was second on the team with 49 receptions for 583 yards and David Terrell recorded a career-high 43 catches for 361 yards.


In 2002, Haley oversaw the continued growth of Booker as he made huge strides following an outstanding 2001 season. Booker capped his 2002 campaign by becoming the first Bears Pro Bowl selection at wide receiver since 1971 and only the fourth receiver in franchise history to earn the recognition. Booker became just the second Bears receiver to record back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with a career-best 1,189 yards and a team-leading six touchdowns while just missing his second consecutive season of 100-or-more catches (97). His two-year total of 197 receptions in 2001-02 was tops in the NFC.


In Haley's first season with the Bears, Booker became the first receiver in team history to catch 100 passes in a season and the eighth receiver in Bears history to surpass 1,000 receiving yards in a season with 1,071. He also posted a career-best and team-high eight touchdown catches.


Haley joined the Bears after spending six seasons with the New York Jets (1995-2000). In 1999-2000 he mentored the Jets wide receivers. In his first season with the group, Haley helped guide Keyshawn Johnson to his second consecutive Pro Bowl appearance. Johnson finished the season with 89 receptions, 1,170 receiving yards and eight touchdowns, the second most catches in a season in club history. Prior to taking over wide receiver duties, Haley worked as an assistant to offensive coordinator Charlie Weis (1997-98) and helped the Jets to two 1,000-yard receivers in 1998 and Johnson's first Pro Bowl. Haley began his career with the Jets as an assistant in the scouting department in 1995, where he scouted regionally for the team and assisted in player evaluations.


Haley attended the University of Florida and the University of Miami before earning a bachelor's degree in communications from the University of North Florida in 1991. The son of Dick Haley, the former Director of Player Personnel for the Pittsburgh Steelers (1971-90) and New York Jets (1991-2002), Todd was a former ballboy for the Super Bowl Championship Pittsburgh Steelers teams of the 1970s. Haley was also a multi-sport standout at Upper St. Clair High School in Pittsburgh.


Haley and his wife, Chrissy, have four daughters: Taylor, Peyton, Kady, and Ella.
