Yeah, the best coaches in the league often send Brodie Croyle out to fake a punt from their own 20.

And by the way, isn't it obvious we did more of that stuff when the team was struggling to be competitive? We didn't do that in 2010. We didn't do that stuff during our winning streak. We ran more of those high risk plays with 2009 cassel and 2011 palko. |

Haley's mismanagement of the game and clock in those situations cost us momentum, and some close games ultimately. |

But he's going to go on to be a great HC somewhere else. .

He's young but talented. He was only given 2.5 seasons to figure shit out about being a head coach. He just needed more time. The questionable gameday decisions would have gone away eventually.

I think he knew that in many cases, the only way to win games was to gamble. Because he simply didn't have the talent to win the traditional way. |

I think Haley has a place in the league, but I simply do not believe he has the mental makeup to be a successful HC. He's far, far too volatile. |

I liked Haley, but I thought he was a beaten man. You are correct in that criticism. He took risks his first two years, especially his first year, and got criticized (although anyone who is familiar with the 4th down literature knows Haley was right), and I think the criticism and/or Pioli made Haley gun shy. The guy just wasn't the same coach this year as he was his first year. His 4th down decisions this year were very strange. I think he Haley vacillated between trying not get fired, and saying **** it, I'm fired anyway.
