Peter King says Todd Haley interview with Steelers was a courtesy.

"8. Pittsburgh (12-5). The interview with Todd Haley for offensive coordinator was a courtesy interview. There's a sense Haley's too tough to get along with. That plus the fact that on his way out of Kansas City, he implied to the Kansas City Star that the team was bugging his phone. Leveling unfounded accusations against your employer (and if there is anything to them, then let's have the proof) to the media is not a very good way to get a job in a league where other teams think those who own and run the Chiefs are good men.

Hate to say it, but I completely agree with this viewpoint.

Hard not to.

I liked Haley. A lot. I think a lot of us did to a fault. But good grief he started just looking unprofessional, and a little nuts, there at the end. Add to that his terrible coaching decisions and it’s not a surprise he’s having a rough time finding a new job.

I hope he lands on his feet. I really do. But he’s got to straighten up.

Those would really sell.

Especially if they had crazy unkempt beards and beat down Chiefs hats built in.

Could have been a good Super Bowl commercial.

Meh...

the idea that it was a "courtesy" was brought up by another national writier ... posted coupla days ago on fanshots

King’s tossing out someone else’s idea … could well be right, but it’s nothing new
