Haley lands in Pittsburgh

Football Betting Lines

02/07/2012 - Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley has been named the offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Haley was fired by the Chiefs on December 12 after a 5-8 start to his third season at the helm. The Chiefs were 19-26 in Haley's brief tenure, including 10-6 with an AFC West title in 2010. He guided the 2010 team to the greatest single-season turnaround in club history, as the Chiefs were just 4-12 the previous year.

Joining the Steelers is a sort of homecoming for Haley, whose father, Dick, served as Pittsburgh's director of player personnel from 1971-90.

"I am excited about the opportunity to come back home and work for a tremendous organization," Haley said Tuesday in a statement. "It is an honor to work with the Rooney family and Coach Tomlin and continue the success that has become synonymous with the Steelers. My father has so many fond memories both from his playing days and his time in the personnel department with the team, and I look forward to helping bring more championships to Pittsburgh and to being a part of one of the storied franchises in the NFL."

The Steelers won four Super Bowl titles in the 1970s with Dick Haley running the personnel department.

Prior to taking over the Chiefs, Todd Haley was the offensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals from 2007-08 under Ken Whisenhunt, who had been the Steelers' offensive coordinator before taking the Arizona head coaching job. The Cardinals scored a franchise-record 427 points in 2008 and reached the Super Bowl for the first time, losing to Pittsburgh.

Haley also served as an assistant for the Cowboys from 2004-06, the Bears from 2001-03 and the Jets from 1997-2000.

The Steelers needed a new offensive coordinator after Bruce Arians left. The club said Arians was retiring, but he quickly took a position as the offensive coordinator with the Indianapolis Colts.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
