I'm talking about Whiz and Arians when they were the Steelers OC, not as head coaches. So yes, very much comparable.

Kirby would be a terrible choice. Our run game is terrible. Especially between the tackles. Any solid runs we got this year were because Dwyer had great second and third efforts. What makes anyone think he can run an offense based on how he ran our 20+ ranked run game?

Serious question:

If Haley (or whoever) becomes HC in AZ, does that mean Russ Grimm is a FA?

Who's PIT's OL Coach and how quickly could they be... 'moved'... to bring Grimm back???

Touche, but...

Can you name an AZ OL? I can't.

I don't think Russ Grimm is the problem with their OL, I think the players and/or team is.

If I was Haley, I'd get out of here ASAP. You know how some teams go through head coaches like candy? When every coach of Cleveland/Oakland fails, it aint the coach. This offense is destined for 20 ppg and fan rage regardless of who coordinates it. Maybe offer it up to some poor sucker just trying to get a foot in the industry..

I just don't know where all this talk of how good our offense looked before Ben got hurt. Besides the Raiders game we barely put 20 pts on the board.

I for one never like Haley, even when he was with Arizona. I know some of you might have forgotten but his offense in Arizona was horrible running the ball.

He did have a stud in KC with a hell of an offensive line.

As I said didn't like the choice of Haley but I was hoping he would bring that run offense that he had in KC to Pittsburgh and thus would open up the passing game.

But that's not the case, I don't know what he was trying to accomplish this year. It looked all over the place from week to week.

you mean they give up as many sacks as when Grimm coached the Steelers O line??

If Haley leaves for Arizona we would most likely promote from within and i doubt it would be Kirby Wilson. If we promote from within i think it will be quarterbacks coach Randy Fichtner. I have heard over the years that Randy and Ben have a good relationship which is more than you can say about Haley already. And with Randy being on the staff for years im sure he knows what type of plays ben likes and dislikes and is well aware of our personnel which would allow him to install a successful offense. But this is all speculation until Haley is actually gone
