I've wanted Todd Haley gone for years.
His offenses are very inconsistent week to week.
He overthinks things, that wasn't the first time we've thrown deep downfield on 4th and a foot. He was also quarterback sneak averse at Kansas City.
He runs Bell into the ground to the point that he's worn down or injured for the playoffs.
He's always extremely cognicent of statistical records. There was a Baltimore game a few years back where Ben was one short of breaking some record for TDs in a 2 game stretch, so we were chucking it downfield with 2 mins left in a blowout. Another time Brown had a 5 catch per game streak in jeopardy, so we were targeting him exclusively in the final minutes despite being way up or way down, don't remember which.
His redzone offense sucks. Again, he overthinks it and gets cute with things like receiver screens when the defense is compressed.
On paper, I think this is the most talented offensive roster in the league by a wide margin. Brown and Bell are probably the best WR/RB combo ever, certainly since Irvin/Emmit.The line usually gives Ben hours of time to hold onto the ball. Heath Miller was a pro bowl caliber tight end before retiring, Jesse James looks just as good and McDonald looks like a future matchup nightmare. The wide receiver depth behind Brown is ridiculous, JuJu, Martavis, Eli. And oh yea, hall of fame quarterback. Any offensive coordinator in the league would kill for that many toys.
Regarding the 42 points. Two TDs off 4th down hail marys doesnt happen very often, and the final TD came with a second on the clock? A smarter staff would have kicked the FG with 40 something seconds and tried another onsides.
He's regularly spotted in Pittsburgh bars getting into shouting matches and fights.
You guys are right about Tomlin though. I won't write another thesis, just highlights.
Horrible clock management and situational awareness.
Teams play up or down to the competition.
They take bad teams for granted (except the browns I guess?). 19-22 as of the Bears game against sub .500 teams since 2011. 15 losses to sub .250 teams. There's all your missed playoff spots and bad seeding right there, not losing to the Patriots.
The off field drama, his teams are not disciplined. They are always looking ahead, like tweeting about a Patriots rematch the night before Jacksonville.
