If you want to talk about the debacle between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns on Thursday night, why not bring in a guy who has been on the coaching staff of both. Former Steelers and Browns offensive coordinator Todd Haley went on SiriusXM satellite radio to talk about the brawl from last night’s game, which he characterized as “inexcusable” and “embarrassing.”
Haley took it even further, extrapolating what we saw with Myles Garrett on Thursday as a microcosm of what is and has been wrong with the Browns organization for a long time. And Haley didn’t hold back.
“This comes back to coaching. This falls squarely right on the head coach,” Haley said. “You’re either coaching it or you’re allowing it to happen.
“Part of the frustration is as you see these things happening and going on that should be allowed to be going on because you are practicing bad habits. You’re practicing lack of discipline. It’s not just a fluke.”
"When I watch the Cleveland Browns, I see a lot of stuff being allowed to happen…clown shoes, visors…Myles Garrett hitting the QB low, hitting the QB in the head. It's happening too much, it's not just a fluke"

Haley’s time with the Browns was short-lived. He was hired in January 2018 to be the offensive coordinator but was fired along with the head coach in October of that same year. Haley was the offensive coordinator of the Steelers from 2012-2017.
