I don't understand how people who post on this board can't remember (and I am not including you amongst those) simple facts about Haley's first year. Yeah, the offense sucked the beginning of the season due mainly to the O-line not understanding the blocking schemes, but by the end of the year, it was league-average at minimum. Haley was far from incompetent with the offense last year. Add Lilja, improve Cassel's footwork, and we have shown some improvement from the 2nd half of last year, but nothing like the improvement we showed pre vs. post bye. I just don't buy that this is all or even mainly Weis.

Agreed. Excellent post.
Weis has done a great job this year, but it's the same offense that Haley is accustomed to, as well. Too many live in the instant gratification world and when things go bad, that are quick to make snap judgements and throw people under the bus. .
Putting it in perspective, this is only Haley's SECOND YEAR, as our coach...let's also not forget he was coordinating the offense for a Super Bowl team just a few years back.
