Pittsburgh Steelers making Todd Haley a scapegoat is more about Mike Tomlin than Big Ben

The Pittsburgh Steelers not bringing back offensive coordinator Todd Haley for the 2018 season became pretty predictable once Mike Tomlin failed to endorse Haley on Tuesday.

Given the chance to support his play caller, Tomlin said he was still in the "gathering information" stage of figuring out what next to do with his staff. That pretty much said all we needed to hear. Less than 24 hours later, Haley reportedly was out. That's some tidy information gathering by Tomlin.

The Steelers' season-ending 45-42 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the divisional round of the playoffs delivered one of the beefier offensive outputs in recent memory.
