Offer Munch the moon to come back

Amen. Go get him back. Fire OC and strength and conditioning coach. I know that, I will get alot of disagrees with this next statement. But, I would offer Deebo ... the position of S&C coach.

 

Some of it is on Shaun Sarrett for certain. However, I would not place all the blame on him. Doesn't this Offensive Line have three Pro Bowl Caliber players on it?!


Keep in mind that, during Training Camp, that question about Munchak leaving was posed to the team. I do not recall who answered it specifically but the consenus was that the Offensive Line would be fine due to the continuity. Even earlier this season, we saw major issues.


Overall, while I do believe Shaun Sarrett took some lumps, let us not placate all the blame on him. This Offensive Line underperformed big time. Nevermind their performance, they are getting up there in age the same.



We really cannot evaluate Shaun fully after one season. Keep in mind that Munchak had those very same Offensive Lineman in their prime. Cannot say the same for Sarrett sans DeCastro.



Sarrett NEEDS young talent to actually gauge his performance. Given the circumstances, I am impressed the Offensive Line did as well as it did heading down the stretch.

 

I dont think munch wants any part of this cluster F***...

 

Its funny you mention this because I was chicken little about this as soon as it went down and I hate to be one of those forum types to say I told you so and second guess things in my favor and wait until the OL sh!ts the bed to comment on the forum...versus if the change was transparent...I would not be chirpn.

i think he had a good eye for PS and UFA OL personnel also and was like the OL whisperer. That is the type of intangible impact that doesn't show up on the box scores.

 

Yeah it was talked about during the season that Munch crafted the game plan for the run game. I think that more than anything showed how far below Sarrett and Fichtner were.

 

More money won't bring him back. I heard rumors that he was so valued at the Steelers that his salary negotiations amounted to the Steelers sliding a cocktail napkin across the table, Munchak would write a number on the napkin, slide it back, and the Steelers would pay it. I'll bet we did all we could do.

 

My feeling was that it wasn't so much money as it was money and opportunity. If he was as involved with the blocking scheme and run game as was reported he had to have some aspirations for that assistant coach title like Mitchell has.

 

I was gonna say this. OL coach... nope. Why not OC?

 

they would need to offer him offensive coordinator at the minimum, however , the Steelers aren’t ditching randy with Ben around. That’s bens hand picked guy if they fire randy maybe Ben decides his elbow is a bit sore and doesn’t play. munch being close to family in Denver as well... I don’t see him even wanting to really come back.

 

Its not like we would get a stranger to come in and run the show. Munch knows Ben and vise versa and Ben may really like the idea or at least not resist it Not sure why we are even discussing this as Tomlin has already said RF did a great job this year. Read this on one of the Steeler sites and nearly fell out of my chair. That's why the swamp needs to be drained. JMO

 

Speaking of Wiz. Bring him back as well

 

Yeah because Denver is so much better than Pittsburgh .

 

Very unlikely munch is coming back but I’d be fully supportive of giving him the OC job if RF is moving on.

 

The guy didn't even want the Steelers to give him an offer because he wasn't going to take it anyway. He's not coming back!

And I don't want an offensive line coach to be an offensive coordinator. Show me some examples of where that has worked out.

 

I am sure all of you have heard of a run game coordinator,
well we need one bad or an OC that understands the importance
of a well executed run game.

 

Then seeing this next to him lol

 

Lol I think I just disagreed with it because of the post title. I don't disagree with what you said. If Munch wants to come back as OL coach, sure. But we know that's not happening. As OC? No thanks.
But I wasn't wild about Sarrett getting the job, I'd be fine giving him the boot.
