Arians Retires

Per the Steelers web site

 

Well know we will find out if some of us are wrong and need to man up and say so. thank you Bruce for all your hard work and enjoy your retirement.

 

Read full statement from Coach Tomlin

 

:swordsman: :swordsman:

 

I'll man up! Thank you Bruce airhead for making us the offensive joke of the league

 

He was a good oc and im thankful for his time here.

 

I was referring to those of us who wanted a change and think it could help the team improve. Probably wont know until this time next year but if they get worse I'll man up and say I was wrong.

 

HOLLY SH!T YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

 

I admit I didn't read your whole post, I just saw the man up part

 

NP, I just hope that some decorum is shown here. I wnated a change but I will not be dancing on the guy's grave so to speak. Change needed to be made in my opinion now it has been.

 

if they get worse is because tomlin bring someone worse than arians difficult but not impossible , at least we are trying to improve , and is clear that was a rooney decision

 

Wow. Well - I guess we'll see now what happens. We've enjoyed a lot of success as a team with BA as the OC. That doesn't mean he was right for the job - just a statement of fact.

Onward and upward.

 

I'll admit to being a BA blamer for the past couple years. I hope I was right. Sounds like Fitchner is in line for the promotion, but hopefully they open it up for some interviews at least.

 

Ding Dong the Bubble Screen is Dead!!

 

Does the Rooney Rule apply when hiring coordinators?

 

he retires because nobody else want him .....

 

I can't say that I really liked the guy, but we never know what happens behind closed doors. Did they try to run the ball more in pre-season practice and realized with our line that wasn't going to happen.

The part I didn't like was he never changed anything up...other then the NE game. Always bunch left, bunch right....you would think that with our line struggles in the beginning of the season they would roll Ben out of the pocket a dozen times a game (Like Denver did with Elway)....Ben is usually money out of the pocket.

The other thing was 3rd down and short yardage with an empty backfield. Might as well beg the defense to send everyone.

Heres to the next OC.....lets hope he help bring #7

 

The internet buzz was right. If he hadn't "retired" on his own, Art II would have done it for him. :swordsman:

But on a more solemn note, this will be my last :FBAI!: smilie.

 

WOW! You know this news is fresh when it's not showing up on any other website!

 

WOooooooooo HOOOOOOOO!!!

 

I was checking both PGH papers. The Trib had it on some of the tweeter feeds but no story yet, the PG had it like 10-15 minutes after the announcement. Facebook has it up now as well.

Edit: The Trib has crashed so I think Steeler fans went nuts on there.

Edit 2: The NFL website has it now.

 

he didn't retire on his own , rooney steeped in and say we are not going to renewed arians contract , undestand tomlin ?

 

Right - I've been looking for an actual STORY - and none of the major sports websites has it yet - or at least didn't have it when I last checked. We jumped on this news pretty early. Go figure.
