A couple weeks back Bill Cowher interviewed Roethlisberger. Roethlisberger stated he wished he could have played under Cowher longer because of what they might have accomplished. He did say he’s lucky to have two awesome coaches but the fact he knows they’d have accomplished more is a dig. Then last night during the post game interview he mentioned Dan Rooney and doing it the “Steelers way” and completely ignored Art the piece of deuce.
My take is he knows it starts at the top. Art II isn’t the guy to put together a super bowl caliber team. Tomlin, who I do believe with all my heart is probably a very nice coach. A coach players like. A decent coach. But he’s not a “great” coach. He got put into a very good situation but as that team aged he’s not been able to put together the quality of team to win a championship and hell not even a playoff game.
I believe Art is cheap and won’t fire a coach as he’d have to pay a guy for not coaching until the contract ran out. So he’ll deal with mediocrity. Point proof look at our past 4 offensive coordinators. And the fact Matt Canada has a job this morning. I have almost no doubt he is the OC kickoff next year.
The sad part is what do we do about it? Nothing. I remember hearing about Mike Brown and the cheap *** ways he ran the Bengals and how in reality he was mostly to blame for the lack of winning. Now as he’s loosened his grip on the team they look to have a bright future. I just hope we don’t have 30 years of that.
