Up until the injury, Ben was having one of his best seasons...even now, he has a 4 to 1 TD/INT ratio, is completing passes at a rate better than his career average and over 7 yards per attempt...he is on pace to be sacked the fewest times since 2005 when he only played in 12 games...
Haley has helped Ben do this without the benefit of a healthy Mendenhall and continued poor health on the o-line...
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
If Haley left I would like to see Norv Turner here.
I agree with ovi again. (getting wierd here)
whiz and ben would be a disaster.
jury still out on the haley offense. Next year without wallace is starting to scare the hell out of me.
If Todd Haley leaves, that'll be more depressing than anything that's happened since Super Bowl XLV.

Sitting here twitching as I type that I agree with ES...again this week.
IMO you can't evaluate a new offense in the first year. It really needs to be a two year and more thing to see the real effectiveness. They are still learning from an execution standpoint and making adjustments, but as Slapstick described all the trends are going in the right direction.
I'm not so sure that Haley is anxious to jump back into the HC ranks especially with a bad team with no QB. If he would fail it would probably be the last time he ever got a HC opportunity and the Cardinals are set up for failure. Even ultimate team guy Larry Fitzgerald is showing signs of growing discontent.
Haley's best move would be to stay with the Steelers for about three years and get a job with a better team.
"My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"
How about Bruce Arians as interim HC?
