The Browns have their man. On Wednesday morning, the Browns formally announced the hiring of Todd Haley as their new offensive coordinator. 
“We’re thrilled to bring Todd Haley in as our offensive coordinator,” said head coach Hue Jackson in a press release. “I’ve known Todd for a very long time and have respected and admired the job he’s done as a play-caller in this league. He’s a coordinator that has been successful in every place he’s been. He has been a guy that has adjusted his offense to successfully complement and taken advantage of the skillset of his personnel. I’ve witnessed firsthand how prolific his offenses have been in the AFC North over the last six seasons. As I reflected after the season and contemplated adding an offensive coordinator to the staff, my first thought was obviously improvement. If I was going to turn over the play calling duties to someone else, it had to be to someone that was experienced and had a long history of success in this league….When Todd became available, I jumped at the opportunity to meet with him. Once we sat down and talked, it became quickly evident that Todd would be a great fit.”
Of course, some will speculate that Jackson didn’t have much choice when it came to hiring an offensive coordinator. Jackson has been the team’s play caller for the last two years and the team has won just one game over that span. At the same time, Jackson previously intimated that he would have hired an OC for 2017, but he did not want to saddle a new hire with such a talent-poor offense.
Haley has spent the past 21 years coaching in the NFL, including the past six as the Steelers’ OC. Under Haley’s guidance, the Steelers had one of the best offenses in the NFL. Wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le’Veon Bell flourished in Haley’s system and they were among the six offensive players from the Steelers to be selected to the Pro Bowl this past season. Meanwhile, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has earned four straight Pro Bowl nods and tied for the NFL lead in passing yards in 2014. The Browns are dying to those kinds of results from their next quarterback, whoever he may be.
In addition to Haley, the Browns announced that Amos Jones will be the team’s new special teams coordinator and Freddie Kitchens will serve as the running backs/associate head coach.
The best coordinator in between the 20 yard lines. Red zone calls not so good. Predictable calls but good hire for the browns.
Browns would have to get to red zone for that to be an issue. Lol
Jackson better not interfere with him or he’ll drop him. Then again maybe that’s the only way to get rid of Jackson.
They might actually pair up well. Both run a lot of west coast elements. Hue is a fan of the three step drop and the QB getting rid of the ball immediately, hence why he drafted Kessler. Too bad Kessler was overwhelmed at the pro level and couldn’t translate his high completion percentage to the pros.
It’ll be interesting to see how they gel but there’s potential there if Dorsey can give them a solid QB and a couple playmakers.
LOL good luck
Love the move.

“If I was going to turn over the play calling duties to someone else…..”
Ahhh, music to my ears.
You’re cute. It’s the play calling and not the personnel. LOL
And you obviously have no clue.
And you do. You’re right! The Browns offensive personnel is OUTSTANDING. It was the play calling
The offensive personnel isn’t great by any means, but there are definitely pieces. Duke Johnson, Njoku came on towards the end of the season, and Josh Gordon is back too.
Personnel is part of the problem, but if you don’t think any blame goes to the play calling then you clearly don’t watch Browns games.
You valued say the same thing about Haley’s play calling. Haley goes From GREAT personnel, terrible play calling to Mediocre personnel, terrible play calling. GOOD Luck
Yet his offenses are always near the top of the rankings.
Guess nothing pleases you.
Yea… the offenses always at the top in Field Goal attempts also. TD’s pleases most fans, not Field Goals. 4th & 1 QB sneaks would’ve pleased a lot of us fans also.
Like I said……..
If Steelers fans were asked to personally drive Todd Haley up the Turnpike to Cleveland, the turnout of volunteers would look like the Penguins’ recent parades.
Have fun with all of that.
I’m surprised Haley was able to sit down considering the shattered pelvis and all after one of his infamous off the field run in’s.
Let’s not forget that it was either Haley or McAdoo. Wise choice!!!
Now they have 2 highly regarded offensive coaches on that staff.
Who is the second one besides Haley?
I keep trying to find evidence but other than a bar brawl not really anything else.
Do players like Haley? Or is he just an angry guy all the time?
Angry.
Jackson had nothing to due with this hire except to read the press report that the GM s office wrote for him. He won’t make it till the end of next season , book it HE GONE
