Not seeing any coaching changes.

Funny the ILB room was one of the few positions that I saw growth from last year.

Payton Wilson seemed to really be having a good year, until he hit the Rookie Wall, and Patrick Queen seemed to be getting better with each game in the 2nd half of the season.

 

Without reading all these post, i just want to say this is the Rooney Way. Looking for Dunbar and maybe the janitor to be the only ones fired.

 

Curry and (probably) Dunbar out. So far, no one hired. Small, inadequate staff gets worse.

 

Having a large coaching staff doesn't guarantee success the Browns and Titans both have 31 coaches .

 

Of course not. And they will add. Still frustrating to watch them sit still while coaches are moving all over the league. Don't like picking from the leftovers.

 

Are the Steelers intent on building the best possible coaching staff? no they are not.

 

I had the idea that if Rooney didn't have the money to build and hire the best coaches then he should get the billionaire minority owners to pony up. But someone shot that down by saying the minority wouldn't give something for nothing, aka wanting more control over org decisions. Bottomline, Rooney won't give up his fiefdom.

 

He's got the money, he's just cheap. A wet fish mealy mealy mouthed owner with no real passion. You can see it, there's no fire in him at all. "Buh but we've had winning seasons"....

Look at the Dodgers, absolutely sunk with Mcourt, now look - huge investement in all areas of the team on and off the field, and they have built a globe spanning monster organisation - I TOTALLY GET that it's much easier to to do that baseball with no cap. But. they have left not a single stone unturned in becoming what the NYY took for granted as their entitlement.

It's about having the right owners who put the being #1 above all else, and THEN reaping the financial benefits. The Steelers donlt have that, and again i'll state IT'S MUCH EASIER IN BASEBALL for the hard of reading, but the Steelers are an organization that is reaching for the comfort blanket and not really challenging themselves to be the best. The cheap-assing and repeated accepotance of failure with coaching is testament to that, they don't want to change because it's painful, and mediocrity is easy.

It's an attitude, Steelers don't have it.

 

Yes and the ILB coach left on his own, not fired. Left with the same lateral move, which is very odd.
