As for the offense, I don't know. I also dont think he was given a fair chance. We talk all year long about how critical the qb is, yet we expect our coach to pump out a great offense with a bad qb. Doesn't make sense. When Haley called plays and jamaal Charles was the main rb in 2009, the offense didn't look bad. In 2011,we didn't get much chance to see that. So I don't know that we know enough to make that judgment. We are basically basing his entire track record off his rookie season and a third season with a lousy offensive coordinator, a 3rd string running back, and a bottom of the barrel starting qb.

You can argue that some players got better when Haley was coach. I didn't see any evidence at all that Haley knew what he was doing when actually coaching a game. I wanted to like the guy, then he would blow a 2 minute drill, or he would fake a punt from his own 30 with Brodie Croyle. His gameday coaching was on par with Herm Edwards. Maybe worse at times.
