Hope Clements isn't using the Steelers as a bargaining chip with the Packers.

I think the McCarthy still calls the plays in GB, he has ties here...he may end up being the man. (Clemments)

Re: Todd Haley at South Side

Haley, Clements, Fitchner..

Given that Arians was removed because Rooney wants a more "Blue Collar Offense", who do you really think fits the bosses memo?

Fitchner with his spread offense?

Clements the QB coach?

Or Haley who had great success running the ball in KC?

If Haley isn't the OC, Chadman wonders if the Rooney's are getting what they want...

Haley interviews for Steelers' vacant OC job

By Ralph N. Paulk, PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Tuesday, January 31, 2012


The Steelers confirmed today they have interviewed former Kansas City head coach Todd Haley for the vacant offensive coordinator position.

Haley, who was fired shortly after the Chiefs dropped a 13-9 decision to the Steelers this past season, appears the leading candidate to replaced Bruce Arians. Arians, whose contract with the Steelers expired, agreed Monday to take over as offensive coordinator with Indianapolis.

Haley`s interview comes a day after the Steelers resigned linebackers coach Keith Butler. Butler had planned to interview today with the Colts.

Haley, 45, had been courted by Arizona and the Jets. Haley led the Chiefs to the AFC West title in 2010, but was let go after the Chiefs struggled to a 5-8 record, partly because of key injuries.

Haley, son of former Steelers director of pro personnel, Dick Haley, had been assistant for 10 years before taking over in Kansas City. He began his coaching career as a wide receiver coach for the Jets before moving on to Chicago, Dallas and Arizona, where he was the Cardinals` offensive coordinator.

The Steelers continued their search for a successor to Arians after former Indianapolis coach Jim Caldwell took the quarterbacks coaching position with Baltimore on Monday. Haley could be the likely choice, but the Steelers may also interview several other candidates – including Green Bay quarterbacks coach Tom Clements and Steelers quarterbacks coach Randy Fichtner.

Agreed, but I don't know about Haley...seems like a douche to me. While I think the coordinator should coordinate and the QB should run the plays, there needs to be a mutual respect there. I don't think these two will get along at all.

When Haley was in Arizona, they threw the ball a ton...

Perception of Haley and knowing Ben's personality by covering him for 8 years tells me that could be bad relationship.

Didn't Whiz call the plays?

Was that the end of The Edge era?

This is funny- we have one group in here that don't want the QB & OC to be buddy-buddy, then we have another group that are worried Haley & Ben won't get on...

Arians got axed because he pandered to Ben, apparently.

The Rooney's want a more traditional, blue-collar offense.

If Haley can prove to be partly sane, he ticks all the boxes.

Re: Todd Haley at South Side

If the Steelers take on Haley he's a great fit. Tomlin isn't going to take on a headcase so if he's hired Tomlin and the FO don't believe it's going to be an issue. I'm very intrigued by Haley, especially with two strong minds around him in Tomlin and Lebeau.

Re: Todd Haley at South Side

Todd Haley, the man who never played a down of football of any kind in his entire life. Please no! Please no!! No! No! No!

Re: Todd Haley at South Side

Many players have described Tom Coughlin as somewhat of an "A$$".

Many players have described Bill Belichet as somewhat of an "A$$".

I am not saying Haley is on their level of play calling or player development. What I am saying is that both the Giants and Patriots players are able to operate just fine and produce tremendously under such "Prickly" personalities.

If Haley is able to game plan, adjust, develop, produce at a high level, I welcome him. If he is able to get Ben and company to score 30 points per game, the entire Steeler Nation will welcome him. This is not about hugs and kisses or off season fishing trips. This is about scoring points and winning games. If Haley is the best man to do that... Sign him.

Of all the names mentioned, I hope its Haley. I also like Hue Jackson, but that name faded faster than barbed wire tattoos.
