I absolutely would take him back.

Do you honestly think he will ever get another shot after what he did in KC? I'm not going to go into but, seriously?

You think Pioli made a good hire when he got Haley?

Hell yes he will. It will probably take a little while but Pete Carrol got another chance as many other coaches who have never done anything. He got to the playoffs with Matt ****ing Cassel

Absol****inglutely he will and he should.

You would have to be a complete ball washing moron to think he shouldnt based on his time here in KC...

All personal feelings aside, I don't think it's very likely. Mainly because of the way he ran the training camp last year and the way he went to the Star immediately after being fired.

Even though I believe him about all the wire tapping and controling etc., he
looked pretty crazy after that. Most of the country thinks he's a nut case. My friends here in Atlanta make fun of him all the time.

If he gets fired from Pittsburgh, I can't see him ever working in the NFL again. He is lucky to have that job imo and it's because of his dad.

Damn it, Pioli - Haley was linked to several OC jobs.

He took the one on a SB contender...that had a QB...and an established front office in place.

Shouldn't you get back to cutting/resigning mediocre safteies and TEs??

Yes, I think Pioli made a good hire.

But I also think that he had no other viable options the way it all played out, and the short list he had to work from to begin with.

Haley was the only viable candidate left when Pioli finally got around to making a choice.

The rest of the candidates had already been snapped up.

We've talked about this before.

Haley got a chance to interview for the job because of his dad's ties to the Steelers, but the Steelers aren't the best run organization in the NFL because they do favors.

They make sound business and football decisions.

They didn't hire Haley because of his dad.
They hired Haley because they saw him as the very best guy for the job.

I mostly agree except for this. They owed his Dad a favor. It's all speculation of course but I believe Dick sold them on his son.

Sure thing, Tommy.


Even were that true, they aren't going to make a football decision as important as that to pay a fovor.

I would have agreed with you up until recently but now I think that's about as good a reasoning as any other decision Pioli has made.

Probably owed Tyson Jackson's mom a favor too.

And now Rapelisberger is having his best statistical season ever.

Dick Haley probably asked his son for that special favor, as a return for the Rooney's hiring his boy...

HE TOOK THE ARIZONA ****ING CARDINALS TO THE SUPERBOWL.

NO ONE had ever done that...and the Cards ain't SNIFFED greatness since he left.

He leaves KC, Pitt's offense is suddenly ****ing Air Coryell, the most efficient offense in the NFL.

Yeah, he's a terrible coach, never get another job.

why would he get fired in Pittsburg, you seen how good Ben is playing? His td to int ratio is insane, His completion percentage higher then its ever been. That offense is cliking real nice. Ben isnt in any danger to get hurt yet again.

It looks real nice.

I said it before. Arians' offense, while effective, was going to shorten Ben's career. This is the healthiest, untouched Big Ben has been and Haley is doing it with a ton of injuries on the offensive line. You can tell that offensive line is a ton more disciplined than they've been in Big Ben's entire career.

The idea that Haley is even close to being in any danger of getting fired is laughable. You're absolutely right. And thing is, they're doing it with a banged up offensive line and running game.

What exactly did Haley do so bad in KC? Played the guy... Palko... that Pioli gave him when Pioli's other guy... Gus... went down. And won a game in what everyone said at the beginning of the season that was one of the most brutal stretches of games for any team in the entire NFL last season. Patriots, Jets, Steelers, Bears, and Packers.
