Haley installed as Steelers' offensive coordinator

The hire of Todd Haley to replace Bruce Arians as offensive coordinator is surely a sign that changes are coming to Pittsburgh. Haley, who was the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs for the past two seasons, will bring a run-oriented game plan to the Steelers offense. He went 19-26 with the Chiefs. Haley was a coordinator for 10 years before being hired as a head coach. He was...

We will finally get to hear the Pittsburgh Steelers new offensive coordinator speak and take questions from the media on Thursday as Mark Kaboly reports this morning via Twitter that the Steelers will hold a noon press conference on Thursday to officially introduce Todd Haley as offensive coordinator. The press conference figures to be the normal 15-20 minute variety and hopefully...

Rarely do I write outside the bounds of a strictly news-based article filled with facts, stats or interviews.  However, with the addition of Todd Haley as the new offensive coordinator for the Steelers, a lot of talk has been spreading around the sports world as to whether Haley was the best choice for that position or not.  The truth is, that remains to be seen. John Mehno of ...

PITTSBURGH (AP) The Steelers have named Todd Haley their new offensive coordinator. Haley, 45, will replace Bruce Arians, now with the Indianapolis Colts, and will inherit an offense that scored 325 points last season en route to finishing 12-4. Haley was fired by Kansas City on Dec. 13, after going 19-26 in two-plus seasons with the Chiefs, leading them to the 2010 AFC West title...

Todd Haley wasted little time assuring everyone that the Steelers offense he will run will do whatever is necessary to win. If that means throwing the ball like he did when he was the offensive coordinator with the Arizona Cardinals, fine. If that means running the ball like he did in 2 1/2 seasons as coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, that's fine, too.

The Steelers held a press conference today to introduce Todd Haley.  Coach Tomlin spoke first and said “Needless to say, we’re extremely excited.”  Even after all the rumors about Tomlin not wanting to hire Haley and it being the Rooney’s decision he seemed like he bought in more and more the longer he spent with Haley.  So even if he was not all for it in the...

The Pittsburgh Steelers made it official today, hiring former Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley as their offensive coordinator. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin interviewed Haley a week ago.

So far in this new off-season the Pittsburgh Steelers have seen a lot of action occurring in the coaching department. Former offensive coordinator Bruce Arians first “retired,” in reality the front office didn’t renew his contract due to his pass happy offensive scheme, and now has the same role with the Indianapolis Colts under first year head coach Chuck Pagano. Furthermore...

Former Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley becomes the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive coordinator.

If the Steelers wanted an offensive coordinator who will be tough on quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, they found the right person in Todd Haley. As an offensive coordinator with the Arizona Cardinals, Haley often got into arguments and in-your-face debates with some of his top players, including star quarterback Kurt Warner.

Notice that the title of this article is not "Why did Mike Tomlin hire Todd Haley." Tomlin didn't. If this were Tomlin's decision, Bruce Arians would still be in town. No, this decision appears to have been made by Art Rooney II.Rooney has stated multiple times that he wants the Steelers to run the ball more. Bruce Arians probably cocked his head to the side, said...

When the Pittsburgh Steelers chose not to retain offensive coordinator Bruce Arians at the end of the 2011 season, they were making a bold statement. The team had strayed too far from the classic Steeler mentality. An offense that prided itself on a hard-nosed running game and toughness for decades had become a pass-first offense. Reportedly, owner Art Rooney II had become dissatisfied...

Now that Todd Haley officially has been introduced as the Steelers' new offensive coordinator, quaterback Ben Roethlisberger has a few questions about the direction of the team's offense.

Ben Roethlisberger had yet to meet with Todd Haley but had some interesting things to say in an interview with the Post Gazette’s Ed Bouchette on Thursday. Ben said he’s received numerous calls and texts from colleagues around the NFL about their thoughts on Haley. “Everybody has an opinion, as we all know, and they’re letting me know what their interaction...
