    Danny Smith
    Joey Porter
    Ray Horton
    Carnell Lake
    BA

    To name a few.

    I don't have any complaints around their "patience" with head coaches and even coordinators.

    I dont think they are overly patient with ST coaches, they are usually the ones who take the fall.

    Porter has only been an OLB coach for 2 years, so you must be talking about off field stuff which Im not getting into again with you :lolol:

    I think you couldn't be more wrong about Lake.

    They won a SB with BA, so this is just FAN-atic stuff that owners dont delve into. Once it was decided that they wanted to run more and protect Ben, he didn't last very long when he didn't do those 2 things.

    I've softened on Lake a little. Did a pretty good job with the youngsters this year.

    The missed assignments might be one reason why the organization would consider a change at def coordinator. Missed assignments seemed to happen at times in 2015, early in this season, and in the NE game. It's one thing to get beat. It's another thing to get beat because the defensive players missed an assignment and left an offensive player wide open. I don't think a change is necessary yet but if missed assignments continues to happen I think the organization might make a change.

    Denver had both when they beat NE, the Steelers have neither.

    I agree with this, but ... against PIT, Brady didn't need to wait 3-4 seconds for a receiver to finally work open.

    Since it's only 3 plays can we see them? Because I remember most of the big plays being in zone unless was the trick play man? Because that was Mitchells fault.

    Not surprised in William Gay being the reason for another loss against the Cheatriots. Here's a tip.. Get a slot corner that can play man and name isn't William Gay. Might be a good start.
