I wouldn't be surprised if his next stop is in the college ranks.

He was so reviled at the end of his Pittsburgh run that he had to use another coach as an intermediary with the players. His rep around the league is so bad he had to take a job with the lowly Browns, the lowly Browns fired him in half a season. I think he's running out of options in the NFL.

We've all had bosses like Haley. He gets results and he is really an expert in his craft. When everything is working, Haley is probably a top 5 offensive coordinator.

But his personality is extremely abrasive and he changes for no one. It really meshed well with Warner; Warner credits Haley for getting the most out of his game. But Haley had washed out everywhere else because of his personality.

Yep. It's one of the reasons that Jim Harbaugh is better suited for the college game. By the time players are sick of him, they are graduating or moving on to the NFL.

Haley helped AZ to the Super Bowl, he helped Pitt to multiple winning seasons and the #1 offense.

yea he's the problem.....please.

If you saw Hard Knocks you saw how Hue wouldn't support him when he wanted players practicing....Hue said, "nope, we will take care of our players and soft tissue potential problems.'
Haley got upset saying 'I've just come from the #1 offense in the league and other teams where I've won and NO ONE THERE does that....so why would we." IMO he's dead on.

Larry points to Haley stating Haley is the reason he's a better WR today.

If you don't want Haley, you don't know football.

Yeah, he's a good offensive coach, he's also a complete dbag who is getting himself ran out of the league because he's toxic. Those things are not mutually exclusive.

I think most people that have worked with him would say "if you want Todd Haley, you don't know Todd Haley."

No you don't know football.

Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald and Boldin helped AZ to the super bowl.

And that was a long time ago. How many times does a guy need to get fired lol.

Let it go. He sucks

Q was out of line. Haley was calling plays on a drive that sent us to the SB. Q put himself above the team.

That’s ********.... That same fire is what everyone Loved about Q his passion for the game and intimidating aura.... He had a legitimate gripe regardless of the time. When you are arguably one of the 2 best players on the team that you’ve given your heart blood and soul to and the coach has you on the bench during crunch time. You have every right to be angry and show it....

Now where he was wrong was the post game celebration and leaving early.

Todd Haley couldn’t get along with him, or the Chiefs players, or the Steelers players o the Browns players and on and on. A first class jerk. Despised across the league for good reason

He was wrong , period. He was putting himself above the team. They scored without him and his me first attitude. The rest is history. I was at the game and saw his BS firsthand.

Gregg "Bounty-gate" Williams. Yep, the man who orchestrated Kurt Warner's retirement.

Haley will get another job. Dorsey hired Haley. He did not hire Jackson. Maybe Dorsey had to agree to cut Haley to get rid of Hue Jackson. Jackson was stifling Mayfield at every turn. A slew of coaches will line up to coach Mayfield and that Browns defense. They have young roster, extra draft picks and cap room to spare.

Rumors are that The Haslam clan was fed up with the Jackson/Haley drama.
