ESPN is reporting that Todd Haley will be hired as the Steelers next offensive coordinator. Todd Haley is known for being the son of Dick Haley and a former Steelers ball boy.
Haley started his coaching career in the New York Jets scouting department in 1995 before becoming the assistant receivers coach from 1997-2000. In the 2001 season Haley was named the Bears receivers coach where he helped Marty Booker become the first Bears receiver since 1971 to make the pro bowl. After his stint with the Bears and Cowboys he was named Ken Whisenhut's first offensive coordinator in Arizona prior to the 2007 season.
In Arizona, Haley's offense ranked third in scoring, fourth in offense, second in passing and sixth in first downs. He led the Kurt Warner offense to Super Bowl XLVIII, a 27-23 defeat at the hands of our Steelers.
Following the 2008 season, Haley was named as the Kansas City Chiefs head coach. He coached in two plus years with the Chiefs going 19-26 and 0-1 in the playoffs while winning one division title.
The biggest issue with Haley was how unpopular he was among the players. There have been players quoted as saying they couldn't play for him. How will his attitude translate to Pittburgh? I guess we will have to wait and see...I guess.
