Steelers President Andy Rooney II Addresses Recent Criticism

Art Rooney II, the son and grandson of Pro Football Hall of Fame NFL owners, reserves the right to continue his family tradition of running the Steelers with a "hands-on" approach. That does not mean he handpicked head coach Mike Tomlin's new offensive coordinator, Todd Haley. "I can`t say what people on the outside think, but (Tomlin) picks his staff," Rooney told the Tribune-Review. Fans not willing to buy those words should remember which two men spoke at the news conference at which Haley was introduced last week, Rooney said. Those men: Tomlin and Haley. "Mike picks his staff, like I said, so he should talk about it in public," Rooney said in a wide-ranging interview. "The head coach should do the talking in that situation, not the owner."

well, really, i think this whole situation has been overblown. even if rooney was involved somewhat in hiring the new o.c. or is involved from time to time in player decisions, who cares? it's actually very common in most of the sports.
