Todd Haley: Ben Roethlisberger ‘Right Up There With The Best Ever At The Position’

Former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley was, I think, unfairly maligned for his performance with the team, when in reality he presided over perhaps the most high-scoring period of the franchise’s history. He had elite talent at his disposal in the likes of Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell, sure, but he generally got the most out of them.

Hired in 2012 after ‘retiring’ Bruce Arians as offensive coordinator, Haley was tasked with reformatting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s style, basically transitioning him from a gun-slinging deep-ball thrower to one who is more willing to take the checkdown and take fewer hits.
