I agree.

I like him, but sometimes watching him throws me off because it seems like he plods when he runs. I hope the times I’ve noticed that have been fluky.

To take over for Hue Jackson by week 5?

Yeah...Haley would probably get that over Gregg Williams, I’m guessing.

He also did it with a balanced attack that while it leaned heavy on the run, it split carries with Charles and Jones, and both were extremely effective.

And both stayed healthy through the year...

What was JC's line on 2010? Like 1500/6 for 6.3 per?

AGAINST DEFENSES STACKED TO STOP HIM BECAUSE NO ONE WAS SCARED OF CASSEL...

Haley was the Running Game Coordinator when he was 'Co-Offensive Coordinator' with Sean Payton under Parcells in Dallas. Dude can coach.

Pittsburg lost their playoff game by like a point, it lwas like, what, a 75-74 final score?

And they fire the OC!?

Okay then...

It will work out better for Haley anyway; I predict Pitt cleaning house if they don't make get a Super Bowl out of Tomlin this year.

This is a good post. I agree with you.

Jones...ahhhh it used to drive me nuts when we’d feed him the rock 25 times to Charles’s 12 and he’d average like 2.5 YPC and we knew that at any time, Charles could catch lightning in a bottle.

But it kept him healthy...and effective.

6.3 ypc...

With Cassel at QB.

Haley should've been CotY over Rheem Morris or whoever won that year.

****ing DBowe LED THE LEAGUE IN TDs THAT YEAR.

The guy who couldn't find the field in Cleveland ($9m guaranteed...5 catches) led the NFL in TDs in 2010.

Haley MADE DJ's career...

Haley can definitely coach 'em up.

For sure.

Bowe was so weird. He would make these acrobatic catches where it looked like he was playing hacky sack with the football with his hands before finally catching it. Then he would drop a rare Cassel thrown ball right at his chest. He’d routinely missed the rare easy ones from Cassel. It was as if Cassel was so bad that Bowe grew used to only having poorly thrown footballs his way and grew accustomed to it... so then when a ball was thrown perfectly to him, it threw him off because he wasn’t used to it. LMAO

I hate to say it...but I ****ing love Todd Haley on this show. He’s just a good dude.

My wife actually watched the show with me, and she’s not a sports fan. During the first episode I explained who Haley was and how he’s a real grade A douche. By the time the show ended, he made me look like an idiot. Lol He was actually alright.

He’s genuinely a smart, funny, likeable guy. He wasn’t ready to be a HC...but he’s a damn good coach nonetheless.

I don't think ANYONE is ready to be a head coach if Scott Pioli is the GM and Matt Cassel is the QB.

Haley’s reaction when Palko threw that Hail Mary for a TD against the Bears (I think) was freaking hilarious. He was laughing on the sideline like, “holy shit, I can’t believe we just pulled that off with that guy.” LMAO

I won’t deny it. I like Haley and always have. Have always considered him the “fall guy” here.

Who starts a phone call about being cut with "unfortunately." I don't think I've ever seen that on hard knocks. Maybe it helped the players blow off steam on the car ride. But it seemed more that Wolfe is in way over his head.

I called him 'Mr. Clutch' for a similar reason :

It always seemed like he made those crazy acrobatic receptions on first and second down...but if it was 3rd or 4th?

Forget about it.

Remember that 4th down in the Indy playoff? He let that Colts defender ride him out of bounds...for a defender known for his physical nature, and he let that skinny punk DB ride him out of bounds.
