I'll be checking this one out.

Watching now. He sure does say "Umm" a lot

Lol, yeah he does. Seems like he just woke up doesn't it?

He probably partied all night

I know I would have...

The one thing he said that jumped out at me was that he's not a system guy. If running gives them the best chance to win, then they'll run. If passing gives them the best chance to win, then they'll pass. Basically, he wants to put the players in the best position to succeed. That's certainly not what we've become used to.

And I hope he does a better job at coaching than he does public speaking. Just sayin'.

What is the "Um" count on the conference? I'm betting 100

I'm certainly glad I didn't have to do a shot every time he said it.

Holy shit you'd be fucked up

I missed what Tomlin said. Did he say anything interesting, or did he just introduce Haley?

Pretty much said he was impressed with his love for the steelers and his resume. Said he was excited about what he could bring to the team, and was very impressed with what he's done elsewhere, and then introduced him.

Thanks.

I also found it interesting that Haley was offered the WR coaching job by Cowher, but then decided to take the position with the Cowboys. We then hired Arians for the position. In other words, we have Haley to blame for Arians. That info will come in handy for the Fire Haley thread.

that sonofabitch. he better have this team in top 10 next year, this is going to hard to forgive him for.

The best thing he said was when he was asked if he was going to put an emphasis on the running game. He said he's going to put an emphasis on winning. Great line.

Yep, shot them down real quick with that question, and made it look good.

I already like the attitude. That's just the mindset this team needs in relation to offensive playcalling. Do whatever is successful to win. Not keep doing what you're doing regardless of the results like we've seen. Play to your strengths and the other team's weaknesses. Now there's a novel fucking idea.

Steelers introduce Haley as offensive coordinator

By Mark Kaboly, PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW

Acknowledging that the transition is going to be a challenge, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin introduced Todd Haley as their offensive coordinator at a news conference this afternoon.

Haley was hired on Tuesday to replace the departed Bruce Arians.

"I was really impressed by him," Tomlin said. "Needless to say that we are extremely excited about him joining our efforts here as offensive coordinator."

Haley, the son of former Steelers' director of player personnel Dick Haley from 1971 to 1990, was fired by Kansas City before the end of the season after three years.

"I am genuinely excited to be part of the Pittsburgh Steeler family," Todd Haley said. "I say family because that is what I know it as. All of my early memories in life somehow revolved around the Steelers. The Steelers are a big part of who and what I am."

AP
Mike Tomlin wasn’t expected to speak Thursday as the Steelers introduced offensive coordinator Todd Haley.

Perhaps sensitive to the perception in Pittsburgh that Tomlin didn’t want to hire Haley, the Steelers head coach wound up talking after all.

“Needless to say, we’re extremely excited” about hiring Haley, Tomlin said.

Tomlin didn’t take questions or say a lot more about the direction of the offense.

“We find pleasure in being something of a mystery,” he said.

Haley took over from there and talked about his Pittsburgh roots and excitement about getting the job. He says he’s never “been a system” guy and will mold his offense to the talent of his players. Haley has evidence to back it up: He went from running a very pass-heavy offense in Arizona to a run-heavy offense in Kansas City.

Haley wouldn’t say if there would be an emphasis on running, just on winning. He’s a huge fan of Heath Miller.

Asked about his reputation for being hard to work with, Haley said he learned from his father former Steelers director of player personnel Dick Haley to avoid reading all media. (Which usually means a coach reads a lot of what’s written.) But the younger Haley didn’t deny that he coaches with an edge.

“We’re not into sensitivity,” Haley said.

Haley said he spoke with Tomlin about the job multiple times in various locations around the country. Haley hasn’t yet spoken to Ben Roethlisberger yet, and acknowledged that the transition to an offense isn’t always easy.

“There’s an uncomfortable aspect to newness. But that’s not always a bad thing. It will be a great thing in this case,” Haley said.

It won't be Airhead's fault. It'll all be because the players "fail to execute". That, and a rookie QB.

And right there is the main reason I always hated Arians. Rather than trying to mold his system to fit the players, he tried to mold the players to fit his system.

This excites the hell out of me. Haley's system will be designed to mold around our players strengths. He's got his work cut out, but damn is this going to be good
