Don't try and tell me Haley wouldn't have won two straight division titles if it weren't for the three ACL tears. He would have. Who knows, maybe it's a blessing in disguise that they got hurt and he was fired. Time will tell. |

Todd Haley being a prick to the coaches? No way.

don't you find it odd that Haley's most calm season here was the one where Weis was forced on him? |

I have no doubt that RAC is more calm than Haley and that that makes the team seem more cordial and organized. The question is whether that style translates into in-field performance or not. Some guys just need someone to kick them in the ass to get motivated.

I often model Marty in that situation when talking about the right way to yell. You think he didn't yell? You think he never grabbed a player by the facemask? But he didn't do it every single time something didn't go right. |

Player's coaches always do great for the first few years. But if they're too soft, there comes a point when the honeymoon ends and the players realize they can get away with anything. If Romeo doesn't tear into his players who show up late, who don't work hard enough in practice, etc.... players start to get soft. I hope something has changed. Because that was his reputation in Cleveland -- a real nice guy that players loved, but so nice that his players softened up over time. |

And I firmly believe Romeo was hired for one reason only: he's gonna do whatever Pioli wants. Haley had a little power and things didn't go well. So now Pioli has all the power.

That may be true. All I know is RAC is off to a good start for as far as he can be judged. We put together the best pre-season game we have since 2003 at least. The team didn't look soft, didn't look confused and didn't look scared as they often did under our last 2 HC's.

One would think that he learned his lesson from his experiences in Cleveland and that being tough and yelling is appropriate and necessary at times.

I hope so. I'm not saying he hasn't learned or that things won't be different. But it's important to note that his reputation in his long career is that he's a player's coach.
