Todd Haley interviews with Steelers

Apparently, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin learned enough about Todd Haley while doing homework on the former Chiefs coach to decide to learn even more about him during a face-to-face meeting.
The Steelers announced on the team’s official website that Tomlin interviewed Haley on Tuesday at the practice facility in Pittsburgh.
There’s some scuttlebutt in media circles that Tomlin and the Steelers are considering Haley as a courtesy, given that his father played for the Steelers in the 1960s and thereafter worked in the team’s front office.  Todd Haley once served as a Steelers ball boy.  Even if the Steelers aren’t interested in hiring Haley, interviewing him — and declaring that they have done so via the team’s website — could help him generate interest elsewhere.
Haley’s name has been mentioned in connection with the Jets and the Cardinals.  Though his contract with Kansas City ran through 2012, the Chiefs reportedly have cut off his payments.  If that’s true, he has plenty of reasons (possibly several million) to be looking for a job.
