Todd Haley is the "Mystery of Pittsburgh"
Interesting read.

My entire argument on 1 quarter? Nope. We've got 2 3/4 seasons of fail to base an argument off of.

RAC, on the other hand... the 2 games we are seeing are exactly the things we saw from the Browns. |

Those were his major faults. But if given another chance with another team, and he grows and learns between now and then, I expect him to be a damn good head coach.

Todd Haley didn't have a real QB until Pioli signed Kyle Orton in a desperation grab. If you're trying to suggest that Cassel, Stanzi, Palko, Croyle, or Guttierez are "real QBs" then you should probably walk into traffic. |

Are you talking about not wanting to put a QB on the field after only 2 days learning the offense? Are you talking about not playing a QB who had a dislocated finger on his throwing hand? There is only one game Orton should have started. Against Chicago. And he got put in by the 2nd quarter. Of all the coaches we've had, Haley by far made the least amount of ****-ups in terms of getting the right players on the field. But you can only work with what you're given. At QB, Haley was given nothing to work with for 3 years. |

I agree with you. But I still wonder to this day if Haley would have been as uneven if Pioli/Hunt weren't complete dicks. When you hear the stories, it's hard to imagine any coach wouldn't go ape shit.

Haley got a job with the Steelers because of his daddy and got blown out in his first game with Roethlisberger.

They have been the model franchise for the last 30 years. They draft, they have stability in the front office and on the sidelines, and they hire smart people that can help them win. They cut ties with players and staff when they think those people are no longer able to help them in that cause. They brought in Mike Tomlin as the HC because they believed he was better candidate than the one in house in Ken Whisenhunt. Haley was hired because they believe he can bring something to that organization in their efforts to win. You can point to Dick Haley and family ties as the reason he got an opportunity to talk about the position, but he was hired because they believe he brings something to the table they can use.
