Terrell Owens is one of the greatest offensive talents in NFL history. He knows a thing or two about the game of football which is why his comments on ex-Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley were so jarring.
Owens' comments came amid a reunion with an award-winning weapon. The Steel City player under the most pressure was revealed.
Owens' comments about the ex-Steelers coach are making the rounds and shedding light on a surprising opinion.
Owens Takes Haley To Task
Haley was most recently a USFL head coach for the Memphis Showboats. He was the offensive coordinator for the Steelers from 2013 to 2017. Todd Haley has strong ties to the Steelers franchise, serving as a ball boy growing up. He is the son of Dick Haley, a longtime Steelers front office member.
Owens said Haley got the job because of his family situation not because of talent and experience.
“You have people who don't even have a lot of experience and then they jump up to offensive coordinators, or they jump up to defensive coordinators,” Owens said. “Then all of a sudden, they're head coaches after a year or two of being a graduate assistant.
Owens made the Todd Haley comments to SteelersDepot.com.
He mentioned Haley as a guy that “only got those jobs because of his dad,” adding that Haley “wasn't the best receiving coach that he ever had.”
