Well shit. I was one of the people who said there's no way in hell he ever gets another head coaching gig ever again. What a difference a year can make.

I never understood the hate with that guy, he had all the makings of a good coach, he was just being held back by a maniacal freak.

No - Weis and Muir.
Haley wanted to be his own OC. He also wanted an actual NFL QB or two on his roster to run said offense.

Hailey showed poor judgement in firing Gailey when he did. But overall, the Haley worship around here is ludicrous, IMO. He sucked as a head coach and has not done much with a loaded offense in Pittsburgh this season. |

The way I heard it, Haley really didn't have a choice in firing Gailey, anyway. Quote:
The fact that he was able to accomplish what he did with what he had, is in fact a testament to his NOT being terrible. And Big Ben is basically putting up the most efficient numbers of his career (regardless of his pick today - Carr's a stud.) Plus, he loved this city and loved coaching here - he gave a shit, and it showed. With a supportive GM, Haley will be a successful head coach. He became OC out of default in '09; I wouldn't call delegating a job to yourself a 'hire.' Unless he pocketed Gailey's paychecks - then it would be accurate.

Looking back I think we can all see he was fighting an uphill battle with the f/o (so I wouldn't place all blame on him) but his response was to completely flake out and our team flamed out...
