    Neil Rackers Really Doesn't Like Haley

    [youtube:w5f72bxn]mWVVdJIGw8g[/youtube:w5f72bxn]

    Some of these comments are worse than I expected.

    paraphrased...."I never had to deal with him and I butted heads with him"

    "Our offense leads us to a SuperBowl and the OC gets hired away and the offense throws a party to celebrate his leaving"

    The best part is the called him "Ball Boy" cause no one liked him.

    Re: Neil Rackers Really Doesn't Like Haley

    So a kicker is calling the OC "ball boy"? I'm sorry but a kicker isn't considered a football player in my opinion. He takes AZ to the Super Bowl with his offense and they have a party because he left? No wonder AZ sucks.

    If the OC is bumping heads with a kicker even though they never talk whose fault is that? The overpriced ego inflated kicker calling the OC "ball boy", or the OC who got AZ to the Super Bowl?

    This makes me feel even better about Haley, because our FO won't allow our players to outwardly disrespect a coach.

    Come on, a kicker making a comment about someone never playing football??? That's priceless and shows what a douche Rackers is.

    BTW nice beaning Neil, must be 90 degrees in AZ.

      The team called him BallBoy not just the kicker, hence the use of the word "we". Every single report out there is that Haley is an ass, but keep on defending him. There are 3 players in that video and not one of them has anything good to say about him.

        I am NOT comparing Todd Haley to Coughlin. But, most of Coughlin's ex-players HATED him until he won a Super Bowl. Since then, his is called tough, but successful. I am NOT saying it is the same thing. But, there may be some similar circumstances with a tough, opinionated, fiery coach.
        Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.

          The team calling him names hasn't been good since he left. I think success after him would give them some merit..

            Actually they made the playoffs again after Haley left. It's probably safe to say that his success is attributed to Kurt Warner. WHo has played QB since Warner retired? Leinhart

              Why pile on the guy before he has done anything? What good does that do?

              I have concerns about some of his personality issues, but I'm certainly rooting for him to succeed with the Steelers.

                And...why should we care what Neil Rackers has to say?

                  because he actually played the game

                  Not sure why people care about a bunch of guys who never had success after Haley left...

                    Re: Neil Rackers Really Doesn't Like Haley

                    Shaun Suisham is busy coming up with clever nicknames for the Steelers new O.C. as we speak...
                    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.

                      Huge difference between Haley and Coughlin. Coughin had some success as a HC but still he had to tone down his rhetoric to make his players play for him. He won 2 SB after makin some changes to his behavior.

                      Hopefully Haley learnt his lesson after getting canned as HC and tone down his antics. These are professional players and not high school kids. You can't be yelling all the time at them.

                        So the guy is a dick. Ok. How many of us are in love with our bosses??

                          The Rooney's have ALWAYS treated players with respect. Anyone that thinks they are going to hire Todd Haley and let him act like a moron is dillusional. Anyone that thinks Tomlin is going to stand by and watch Haley act like a moron, is dillusional.

                          Let the guy coach a season before you line up with your torch and pitchfork. If our offense finishes in the top 5 in scoring, will it be accredited to 'Haley is coaching the offense Arians built'???

                            People from Pittsburgh tend to but heads with people NOT from Pittsburgh. We have a way about us and expectations for ourselves and those we work with. I expect Haley to fit right in with the team. Maybe Swish-im won't like him but who really cares...

                              my only concern about haley is it's possible his success is more the result of Kurt Warner than his play calling. I'm sure that's a factor, but ultimately I don't think it is the case. I believe Haley is well respected. As for whether he's personally a douche - at this point, I'm not convinced having an 'in your face' douche is bad for the offense right now. I believe (for many reasons) the offense underachieved last year. Let's see if haley can light a fire under their butts.
