Correlation there my friend, not to mention no SBs with Haley.
You said his game was never the same and I guess you were right. He was better. [Reply]

I doubt that. Pittsburgh is the last team to fire their coach. In the last 50 years they've had 3 head coaches. Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher both retired from coaching when they left. What makes you think that Tomlin would fear for his job? [Reply]

I would take him over Bieniemy any day of the week.
those 42 points are fools gold. it was not entirely cause of Haleys play calling. 21 points came off Big Ben just heaving the ball, twice on 4th down playing literally huck it, chuck it, football. Had nothing to do with play calling. They were put in those situations cause of play calling and Ben and Brown bailed them out like 3 times. They should have only scored like 14 points.
Jet sweep on 4th down against the fastest defense in the league... Odd Todd special. [Reply]

100% agreed. Hailey could have been good had he not been handcuffed by Pioli and Cassel. [Reply]
