Browns hire Todd Haley as offensive coordinator
The man who helped Ben Roethlisberger dominate the Browns will now try to turn the tables on the Steelers.
Former Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who didn’t have his contract renewed by the Steelers last week, has been hired by the Browns as the first offensive coordinator under Hue Jackson, a league source told cleveland.com.
Haley, 50, is expected to call plays under Jackson because of his vast experience in that role. He’ll also have an opportunity to coach a new rookie quarterback such as Sam Darnold or Josh Rosen, who are candidates for the Browns at No. 1 overall.
Haley has spent the past six seasons as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive coordinator. He lead top-10 scoring units in each of the past four years.
He’s as accomplished of an offensive mind that head coach Hue Jackson could have hoped for once he decided to give up play-calling duties following a winless 2017 campaign.
Haley might not be able to get water from a rock, but with some key additions this offseason, we’re sure to see an improved Browns offense.
He’s most definitely an upgrade over what we saw with Jackson calling plays over the past two seasons.
