This year, or at least this half of this year, I'm willing to write Todd Haley a pass. He knew they screwed up, and he knew how. From what I've seen from the guy, I'm going to guess it won't happen again, and the guy is learning the head coaching ropes. Herm, on the other hand, was an "experienced" head coach when he joined the team. He should have already known better.

Other than the halftime bungling, I really liked the playcalling. Particularly that first 4th down call and the subsequent onside kick. Cassell could have been better, but he was already better than Russell (7 of 24), and other than the picks, he looked pretty solid there. He didn't get rattled, he could move in the pocket, he didn't mind running and taking the hit to get the first down. The guy's not a wuss, which is more than I can say for Brodie Croyle.
