View topic - Maybe they should have hired Whisenhunt...

[KingCool Profile]

He's proven himself to be an excellent coach... resurrecting a team that never had any success until he arrived.

I guarantee you the offense would be executing better under Whiz.

No way in hell he'd have allowed what's going on now.

So we could have lost Super Bowl 43?

true but on the other hand THE STEELERS WON THE SUPERBOWL LAST YEAR FOR CRYING OUT LOUD SHUT THE HELL UP A BAD SEASON IS WORTH A SUPERBOWL THE SEASON BEFORE.

A BAD SEASON IS WORTH A SUPERBOWL THE SEASON BEFORE.

that wasn't the philosophy that made us a dynasty.

I hate to break it to you, but this isn't the 70's. There isn't a single team that has sustained excellence this entire decade. You cite the Pats. I say look at their 2002 season.

Anyways, off base. I'd rather have a superbowl and an 8-8 season then two seasons at 15-1, zero superbowls. It's about rings.

And that doesn't mean shit.

Who's to say they wouldn't have been better with Whisenhunt?

He resurrected the dead in Arizona.

It will be interested to see if Tomlin can stop a slide.... that was the one thing Cowher was good at... stop slides and bring a team back when they had a bad season or two.

Maybe Whiz should have stuck around until the process was finished.

I think Whiz knew he wasn't getting the job.

Screw 8-8. Beat Baltimore, finish 7-9 and call it a season. We need to reload, cut all the old fat, fire Arians and get healthy. Its not like they've been blown out. I would think that Troy and Aaron are worth -7 points defensively.

We lost to the 1-11 (2-11 now) Browns. The WORST team in the NFL. Ranked 32nd across the board, so YES WE WERE BLOWN OUT! Who knows how many times a real team like Indy or NE would have scored. The offense couldn't move the ball against the WORST defense in the league so it has nothing to do with Troy and Aaron being out.

The process was finished as far as Whiz was concerned. The new deal (get it?) started with Rooneys Obama ass licking speech on the super bowl podium

Whiz looked 2 years into the future, saw Rooney "ass-licking Obama" on the Super Bowl podium, and realized he wouldn't be getting the head coaching gig?

I don't think tanking games is the answer... Play the young kids and go after it...

It boggles my mind how quickly people turn on a dime on coaches and stuff. I agree on the O-Cordinator needs to go and special teams... but I would at a min think Tomlin's SB should get him one get out of jail free card. Hopefully, the Steelers don't sign him to a contract extension this off season though. Tomlin needs to have a bounce back year next year first. Lords knows we don't want to be stuck like Chicago is w/ a below avg coach getting paid like a top 5.
