Haley served as Pittsburgh’s offensive coordinator since 2012. Under Haley, the Steelers ranked in the top five in the NFL in yards per play and passing yards per game.

The Steelers were sixth in the league in total yards per game in that span.

The Browns, led by head coach Hue Jackson, did not have an offensive coordinator during the 2017 season.
