Just look at his facial expressions in GIFs-- those don't express frustration or outrage, they express pure fucking hatred. It's a guy who hired Grandpa Bill Muir as his OC after Weis left. It's a guy who sincerely believed Tyler Palko was a good enough backup QB. A dude who pretended he was Bill Belichick with his low gravely vague answers at press conferences. A guy who thought getting his offensive line to lose as a collective HUNDREDS of pounds in the offseason was a great idea. Oh, and let's not forget him losing control by flicking off Blowfish and that bar incident. The dude has a wife and kids and is a coach in the NFL. What the hell is he doing at a bar in his off hours?
Todd Haley might be good for some things as a coach, but the dude is straight up fucking nuts. He's crazy. He's NOT an improvement over what we've had, whether Pioli was holding him back or not.
Bienemy has a chance to be competent. It might be a tiny chance, but it's still a chance. Todd Haley has ZERO chance, because he's a giant fucking jackass.
QFT
There seems to be a lot of selective memory when it comes to Todd motherfuckin Haley.
Besides, NOBODY with the name of Todd should be a coach in the NFL. [Reply]

I will stand by my statement, Ben never the same when Haley came along regardless of stats.
I think SNR nailed it. The guy knows offense, clearly. His offenses work. FFS he got Cassel to throw 15 TD to Dwayne Bowl.
But he is unhinged. Dane's right - the writing was on the wall after the bar incident. You can't get into a bar fight while COACHING IN THE PLAYOFFS. Seriously, what is wrong with this guy?
And to settle the Pilot/Haley debate - there was enough suck to go around. Romeo, Weis, Cassel, Muir, Haley, Piloi... they all get a piece of the shit pie. [Reply]

WTF does the Rooney rule have to do with not renewing Haley's contract? [Reply]

With Le'Veon Bell, Antonio Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Ben and a great offensive line, the Steelers were 8th in Points Scored and 20th in Rushing yards.
How the **** can the Steelers be 20th in rushing yards with Bell?
