Chiefs hire Arizona O.C. Haley

? The Kansas City Chiefs have hired Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley as their new head coach, Foxsports.com first reported Thursday night.

The Web site’s Jay Glazer reported that contract details were yet to be finalized.

Haley interviewed for the position earlier this week and a Cardinals player at the Pro Bowl told Foxsports that Haley was scheduled to arrive in Honolulu for the Pro Bowl Thursday as a guest of Cardinals wideout Larry Fitzgerald, but canceled at the last moment because of the Kansas City job.

“He’s going to be a big loss for us,” another Cards player told FOXSports.com.

New Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli and Haley worked together in New York from 1997 through 1999, Pioli as the director of pro personnel and Haley as the wide-receivers coach of the Jets.

Haley moved on to coach wide receivers for the Bears and the Cowboys before joining the Cardinals last year.
