Was he involved in Wallace not reporting for camp and then sulking like a little girl who lost her candy the rest of the season? Did he coordinate Hood being a work out warrior off the field but a mediocre at best player on it? The O-line being a revolving door? The list goes on and on. I'm so sick of hearing about a coach that's not even a part of the team anymore. Who gives a f#ck what he's up to now.
The Owners of the team said it was time for him to go. And they were right. He was staler than month old bread. Good riddance. His time here had come and gone. And Tomlin, the head coach, got to pick the new coordinator. He picked Haley. Maybe Ben was mad from the start that Mike didn't consult with him on the choice. I never heard Haley putting Ben down. Saying Ben wasn't following the game plan, criticizing Ben for ridiculous sacks and even more ridiculous interceptions. Didn't hear haley ripping the WR's fro dropped balls or the RB's for countless fumbles. Haley has been nothing but professional since he arrived. It's Ben that's been the pouting douche bag about the O coordinator change since last March. The whole "I'm not Big Ben" thing was just a lie. He's not Big Ben in the bars but he's certainly still a diva when it comes to this team.
Haley was a guy who could not wait to come here. He grew up around this team with family ties to it. He was getting away from that debacle of a team in KC and getting a chance to start over. I'm sure he was beyond excited to get a cailber of player as Ben. But from the start Ben was d!ck about it. It's time for him to mature and realize that when Haley is successful, Ben is succesful, and then the whole team is a success. Everyone, including the D, feeds off that. It's not that hard to understand unless you are purposefully being obtuse (Shawshank reference...).
