I've finally changed my mind about Todd Haley

If he gets canned, it won't bother me. If he stays, it won't bother

I will say this: if we do draft a QB in the first (I'm still pessimistic), I'd much rather have Haley than some retread defensive coach (John Fox, Jeff Fisher, Bill Cowher, etc.) who loathes the thought of developing a young QB and just wants someone to manage the game.

I sort of agree with this. It wouldn't be horrible.

But even with a franchise QB I still get the heebie jeebies that Haley would do something dumb in a close game in the playoffs.
