    1) Fire Joey Porter and hire Kevin Greene. Reinstating Porter made Tomlin look weak. I don't care that the charges were reduced. Had Porter not been out acting like a drunk idiot there would not have been a story!

    2) Fire Danny Smith! No explanation necessary!

    I'd be ok with both these moves. Especially if we brought in Kevin Greene

    Here's a little inside information. Joey told Mr. Rooney to watch the video, and if he felt he needed to be fired then so be it. Mr. Rooney watched the film and said "get back to work Monday". Wasn't Tomlin's call... Although if Mike wanted him gone, I'm sure he could've had his way.

    Personally, I think Green would love to come coach here if they asked. And if they did and he agreed, I'd be more than happy!

    Greene was basically dropping some heavy hints on social media that he'd love to coach the Steelers linebackers. I'd be happy to have him.

    I posted that earlier on here about getting rid of Porter and replacing him with Greene, Porter's players haven't produced. Porter before the season was going on about he thought his OLBs could get double digit sacks :facepalm:.

    Yeah, hoping it's a could happen type of deal and not one of those I'm available in a pinch moments while they were streaking

    Ultimately it's on the players to produce and KB to put them in the situations to produce, but I'll bet Greene has a better eye for what bait he's fishing with and damn sure would command respect.

    Sad truth is, it would go over like Singletary's stint with the 9'ers. A tough hard nosed legend getting cast off because his team full of new age all about me stat guys would get their feelings hurted!

    This. Id be for hiring Green because it would be an upgrade IMO.

    Not because of anything Joey did, which was very little. Some bad judgment basically. The rest was fabricated bs.

    I believe he would be an upgrade as well... Along the lines of superior upgrade/future DC material!

    Danny Smith was actually a highly regarded SP coach coming in.

    I think if we fire Joey, which I'm fine with, just let Jerry O be the LB coach as an entire unit, not just ILB.

    Yeah, Peezy was a fun hire for nostalgia purposes, but the almost complete lack of development of players under his tutelage has me hoping for a change.

    It doesn't have to be Kevin Greene. I'm not really sure who else is out there.

    my trouble with hiring these guys and keeping these guys, ( jerry O, porter, lake, greene, butler, mitchell), they are 3-4 zone blitz coaches. we need some coaches with experience in the 3-4 but with other experience as well. we are trying to change how we run it with players and coaches all trying to learn a new system together in essence. :cool:

    I want guys that can coach. look I love the former players but how did joey and carnell work out for us. just get the best guys for the job and forget where they played or even if they played. some players, especially successful players, cant coach.

    Special Teams has been woeful for so long, I have to imagine that the FO sees something different to me. Maybe Smith has an unsurpassed knowledge of the technical aspects? I'm always surprised he's still here year in, year out.

    I have no problem with replacing Jpeezy or big "O".... and replacing them both with k.Greene. Danny came from the redskins and I wondered from the beginning why we hired him...especially, when the redskins spteams sucked

    You don't acknowledge the improvement of our secondary over the course of the season?
