dammit, you beat me to it.

I was going to say, “Was his hiring also a courtesy?”

Personal favor to Dick Haley?

I do admit I find the possibility of PIT preferring Daboll to Haley pretty interesting

who knows if they were one of the teams allegedly interested in Daboll, but it’s certainly fun to speculate about it now…

Did PIT interview Daboll for OC?

we don't know, we just know that romeo alluded to the fact that there were other suitors

there aren’t many potential suitors left, and PIT is (was) one of them. so who really knows.

Meh...

It doesn’t really matter, but I highly doubt that Brian Daboll would pick the Chiefs over the Steelers.

Though I know the Steelers are making a great hire and I can’t wait to see the type of offense Todd Haley uses out there. It will answer a lot of unanswered questions about his time here.

Daboll does know Crennel/Pioli

Probably apart of the decision mAking if he was targeted by the Steelers.

I find it surprising

I thought he’d have to take a position coach job for a year or two.
Best of luck to him – except when they face the Chiefs.

I'm sure they'll play it up

and show many shots of Haley in the coordinator’s booth.

by oof46 on Feb 6, 2012 2:57 PM CST up reply actions

Booth?

He needs to be on the sideline. You know, for the screaming.

by cheapham on Feb 6, 2012 3:00 PM CST up reply actions

Looks like Pitt wanted Daboll

by RamX21 on Feb 6, 2012 3:15 PM CST via mobile reply actions

Wow

Best possible situation for Haley after getting fired, who knew? It will be interesting to see how he gets along with Rothlesburger. I can’t see it being a smooth relationship.

Others are jumping on the story

so hopefully for Carmen it is accurate

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been in the hunt to replace offensive coordinator Bruce Arians who retired/was fired at seasons end. Former Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley was one of the names that was rumored to have been a person of interest in the vacant position and it sounds like he will be hired, according to Mark Carman of 610 Sports Radio in Kansas City.

If this is true

Congratulations Todd Haley!

You were a great Coach in Kansas City and I was sorry to see your time here cut short. Go get them in Pittsburgh Todd, what a great fit.

One more time!

Great news!

Good for him. The Steelers are getting a hell of a coach who got a raw deal in KC. I mean, who decides they have to shit-can a coach after he guides the team to the greatest turnaround in team history. Oh yeah, a little man with a massive ego who cannot stand to be challenged. i wish Haley the best of luck in Pittsburg.
