Why the Browns hired former Steelers OC Todd Haley | SBNation.com
Haley, 50, rose to prominence as offensive coordinator of the Arizona Cardinals during the team’s run to the Super Bowl in January 2009. It earned him a head coaching gig with the Kansas City Chiefs, which he led to a 19-26 record. The team went 10-6 in his second season, including a trip to the playoffs, but he was fired before the end of the next year.
He spent the last six seasons as the offensive coordinator of the Steelers, who had one of the NFL’s best offenses in each of the last four seasons. It finished top five in passing yards in each of the last five years and was No. 3 in total yards in 2017.

Grading these 10 moves from the Chiefs: Hindsight is 20/20 | Arrowhead Pride
So, who got the better player? Statistically, Logan was more active, especially in the run game than Poe was this year or in 2016 when he was in KC’s defense. But, individual stats for nose tackles typically don’t tell the whole story. Atlanta was a top 10 defense in terms of rushing yardage allowed, the Chiefs were 25th. Passing yardage, Atlanta was 12th and Chiefs were 27th. Clearly, the Falcons had the better overall defense, but it’s less clear how much of that had to do with the play of the nose tackle.
Redrafting the first five picks of the 2017 NFL draft | ESPN
Schatz: After a 10-6 playoff season, I'm sure the Jaguars still feel good about their selection of Leonard Fournette. But I'm a strong believer that you don't take a running back this high in the draft -- especially one who won't even average 4 yards per carry as a rookie.
