Taking a look at Todd Haley, new Pittsburgh Steelers OC

Todd Haley during his tenure as Head Coach of the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Steelers will introduce new Offensive Coordinator Todd Haley today at a 12:00EST press conference.  Coach Haley has been involved with the NFL since 1995, and despite having no playing experience, he has carved out a nice stake in the coaching ranks.  For those of you unfamiliar with the new OC, here is a look at his resume prior to the introduction this afternoon.

1995-1996   Assistant in scouting department - New York Jets

1997-1998   Offensive Assistant/quality control coach - New York Jets

1999-2000   Wide Receivers Coach - New York Jets

2001-2003   Wide Receivers Coach - Chicago Bears

2004-2006   Wide Receivers Coach/Passing Game Coordinator - Dallas Cowboys

2007-2008   Offensive Coordinator - Arizona Cardinals

2009-2011   Head Coach - Kansas City Chiefs

Haley grew up in Upper St. Clair.

His father, Dick Haley, was the Steelers Director of Player Personnel from 1971-1990.  

He graduated from the University of North Florida in 1991 with a degree in Communications.

Haley has worked closely with coaches such as Bill Parcells, Charlie Weis, and Ken Whisenhunt.  He was the Cardinals Offensive Coordinator during their Super Bowl XLIII run, crafting a top-ranked passing offense around QB Kurt Warner and WR Larry Fitzgerald.

In his second season as head Coach of the Chiefs, the team finished 10-6 and won the AFC West.

Haley was terminated by the Chiefs mid-season in 2011 after a 5-8 start.  It should be noted that the team had sustained many season-ending injures to starters on both sides of the ball.

We at Steel World Order welcome Coach Haley back to Pittsburgh and wish him good luck in his new position.
