Report: Steelers Plan to Interview Todd Haley and Tom Clements for Offensive Coordinator Position
January 31st, 2012
The Steelers seem to be at 3 candidates right now for the open offensive coordinator position. That could change tomorrow though. They could stay in house with Randy Fichtner or they could go outside and look at Todd Haley and Tom Clements. The Tibune Review is reporting the Steelers plan to interview these 3 guys. It looks like things are starting to heat up in the coaching search. Any of the three of these guys would make me happy. They all run a good offense and could make this team better.
Candidates:
Randy Fichtner- I have warmed to this idea since it came out. After going through all of Fichtner’s past work I was impressed with the offenses that he has run. He did a whole lot with very little talent at his other jobs. He still runs a type of the spread but with a more balanced attack. I would like to see him stay as the QB coach though and one of these other two become OC. I still think he may be to close to Roethlisberger for our own good. If he is chosen it would not be a bad move though.
Todd Haley- This is still my number one choice. His offense in Dallas was great. His offense in Arizona was great and before Jamaal Charles was hurt his offense in Kansas City was growing. All of this was with guys who people either thought were out the door or had no talent when he first arrived. Haley revived Kurt Warner’s career. He has a great scheme and it has seemed to work wherever he has gone. If we were to build some offensive line help Haley could make this team run because of how much talent it already has.
Tom Clements- Another good candidate here. I thought Clements was planning on staying in Green Bay to replace Joe Philbin as OC but that has not happened yet. That is just to the Steelers advantage. Clements has been instrumental in the training of Aaron Rodgers. Look at how good he has become. He also has had his hands on Matt Flynn. Flynn will be the most coveted QB on the open market in free agency as a back up last year. That is unless Peyton Manning reaches the open market. Clements would be a great choice.
The best part about all 3 of these guys is that they are Pittsburgh guys. Fichtner is already part of the Steeles staff, Haley is from Pittsburgh and Clements has coached here before as the QB Coach. They all know that attitude of the City and how things go around here. I would take any of the three of these guys.
