    I'd only keep Danny Smith if I had my preference.

    According to the article, they were basically fired, unless the new coach rehires them.

    I don't think we should keep anyone from Offense and Defense. A HC should be able to choose his staff (sorry Mike Tomlin, he got screwed on that one when he was first hired.)

    I agree Smith is old, but he is also one of the best to ever do it when it comes to ST. I'd hire him back him if I was the coach.

    Cowher kept Dick Hoak for some reason? Why did he do that? Who really knows?

    Smith is 72 years old, so I would think he is going to retire.


    Yeah, I am doing my Bye-Bye Pat Meyer happy dance about right now!!!

    In the Stinkin Podcast I posted, he said new HC doesnt have his own guys yet to bring over so it’s difficult filling out a staff and getting it right. They often find themselves tweaking it, having to replace guys.

    Cowher was told to keep Hoak just like Tomlin was told to keep LeBeau.

    Disgrace of a coaching staff. Many of these bum players can go with them. Time to start fresh the fans have spoken!

    Can we also have field turf, total speculation on my part but I always felt some of our hammy injuries and ankle injuries were partly due to our ****ty field that would give way too easily. Grass is safer and less injury prone unless its unstable and isn't rooted well. Total sidebar on my part. back to regular programming!!
