Haley will never be head coach.

If they stay within the organization, it'll be Munchak.

Book it.

The outcry over a Haley hiring would be unprecedented.

Munchak has already said publicly that he didn't like being a Head Coach.

Haley was handpicked by Art II to be the new OC. In fact, I believe the only reason they even fired Arians was to give Haley the job after he became available.

Until he proves otherwise I will never underestimate the stupidity of Art II.

I've said it before, but for those of you who follow college basketball...

Mike Tomlin is the Mike Davis of the Steelers organization.

A dumbass who fell into a great team that basically ran itself.

Full of veterans who just wanted him to stay the fuck out of the way.

He did just fine in that regard.

....then those guys got old.

...and the dumbfuck was revealed.

Haley will be fired after this year, if there are no playoffs.

Not if, WHEN.

Watch.

Munchak is new, his job security is fine.

Getting him was a coup.

With Haley gone, Tomlin's seat will be ON FIRE.

....and Munchak will be waiting in the wings.

The only way Haley is fired is if Rooney lets Tomlin have a say in who his coordinators are. They haven't yet. Why would they change now?

Only after its use is limited to players born before 1985 who have played on a playoff team that actually won a game.

Public pressure.

Heads will HAVE TO roll after this year.

Lebeau is (and I love the guy) already out the door if this continues.

He GONE.

Haley will be history too, when this team finishes third in it's division.

Tomlin will survive, but he'll be put on notice.

I hope you're right but I just don't see it. The Steelers have never really cared about public opinion before.

Tomlin's seat got A LOT warmer today. This is EMR running the team now. There's a major major decision facing this team at the end of the year - Ben's contract. If you have doubts about Tomlin you've gotta pull the trigger because you don't have the luxury of waiting to make that change.

Or they could kick the can down the road - franchise Ben and go into 2015 with Tomlin a lame duck. I don't see them doing either.

Watch what 3 straight non-playoff seasons will do.

....and with the Bengals and Ravens FAR, FAR, FAR SUPERIOR teams now, it's gonna get seriously ugly this off season.

If they finish below 10-6, Tomlin, Dick, and Haley should all be shown the door.

The idea that you can't get rid of someone because their replacement is even worse is the PRIMARY REASON the Steelers are so shitty.

Need examples? Franchising Worilds...extending Gilbert....extending Cortez Allen...extending Pouncey...extending Suisham...

Haley will be gone before Tomlin.

But yeah he's one of the few I can think of who would be a worse head coach.

So, what you're saying is, based on past decisions, Tomlin is unfireable.

More of this Art II picked Haley horseshit. Mike Tomlin hired Todd Haley. He said so in print media. If what you're saying is true (it isn't) then Tomlin is a liar.

Jack you're right. Add to the list who would make a worse head coach than Mike Tomlin:

Mike Martz
Homer Simpson
Dwight Schrute

All NFL coaches are liars. It's literally part of their job.
