Todd Haley could emerge as Steelers offensive coordinator candidate

Ben just needs to suck it up and stop being a drama queen.

Ben needs to get yelled at a little..

He is far from perfect or elite. Warner did fine with haley, ben could call kurt for support kurt likes ben.. kurt called for us the be in the SB this year too.

Yes. Ben needs to be treated like every other NFL QB, not like a damn princess. Hire the man! Fire and intensity is what this team needs.

I'd be fine with Haley, but to be perfectly honest .... I think it's a smoke-screen. I think they're going with Fichtner.

Wouldn't be the first time the Steelers have smoke screened a candidate. Although it wouldn't make much sense to do so right now. If you like Fichtner just hire him. I get the due diligence part of it I guess but it seems much to do about nothing.

He does need to be yelled at, and he needs to be Coached and to be more accurate ( his arm strength could be better also ), and to get rid of the ball quicker, when Todd was in AZ there offense was dangerous, i'm sure he would do the same if not be better with the talent we have hoping we sign him...

This.

In 2008, the year Haley as OC took the Cards to the SB, the team was #4 in total offense and #2 in Passing. They were dead last in rushing.

In 2007, they were 12th in total offense, 5th in passing and 29th in rushing.

As HC in Kansas City

In 2009, KC was 25th in Total offense, 25th in passing, 11th in rushing.

In 2010, KC was 12th in total offense, 30th in passing, 1st in rushing.

In 2011, KC was 27th in total offense, 25th in passing, 15th in rushing.

Frankly, these numbers are all over the place but I think you can point to one positive about Haley. It appears he does a pretty good job of adjusting to his talent. When his teams were loaded at QB and WR he flourished in the passing game and when he had better runners and worse QBs the team was better running the ball.

I'm not 100% on the Haley bandwagon, but I have to admit it would be interesting after looking at the numbers.

I think he has better talent here in Pitt than he had in KC. I think the RB talent is better here than he had in AZ, but Warner LFitz and Boldin were better than what we have.. Although we have better depth of QB, WR talent (more WR that are better than AZ)
my opinion

[LatrobePA]

He was overwhelmed and out numbered by injuries in KC, he's not a HC IMO..
