Since I have appointed myself as a board advocate for Haley, here we go, my friend.
Unfair? Pffft. It's no more unfair than doing a Whitlock (cherry-picking one vague comment out of an entire 30 minute presser) and jumping on Haley with both feet over the OC question less than two full days after season's end. To wit;
In the presser, Haley notes and thanks the strength coach, nutrition specialists, and trainers for their hard work during the year. (Odd thing for a crazy egomaniac to say.) He states (without prompting) that the entire organization is and will undergo a full review and eval. This evaluation will include players, coaches ... and ... wait for it ... himself as head coach. (Dang. Could that be right? Haley's a moron! He wants to evaluate his own moronic performance? Why would he want to do that?). He says their goal is nothing less than to become a championship team and that it will happen sooner, rather than later. (Note that he didn't say his goal was to dominate discussions, control the offense, alienate coaches, and make a complete ass out of himself on the sideline.) He mentions that he's proud of what the team accomplished this year because not a lot of people outside the building (other than some of the fans) believed they could make it to double-digit wins and a playoff appearance. Then he says ... and this is kind cool, I think ... that they have to, and will, do a better job next time ... including himself.
On and on and on.
In other words, there were tons of comments made in that presser that were encouraging and thoughtful and forthright and honest. It isn't all about the OC and Haley's megalomaniacal desire to control every detail or person with whom he works.
