You're right, the only way Martindale would come to Pittsburgh is if he sat down with the Duece and Tomlin and it was agreed that he will call the shots defensively and I don't see Jr. having the balls to do that.Tomlin is the DC. Whoever gets the job will be a figurehead.
We scored 33 points in regulation in two games and their secondary was destroyed by injuries not to mention they have allowed a couple good young linebackers to leave via free agency.NOT a chance, have you seen our offense.......................... we beat them twice this year with our offense.
Salute the nation

I kind of figured that but I mused but that normally doesn't work so I took another sip and fired away. Oh well, should of picked up on it.I fully agree and think I best take my cloaking devise of my "sarcasm" sign....

Not a chance. We already have Tomlin's bud Teryl Austin in the house.He would look good in ......

The Bengals have reportedly fired defensive coordinator Teryl Austin after nine games, according to ESPN's Josina Anderson.
Austin, who formerly served as the Lions defensive coordinator, was hired by Cincinnati in January. It marks the second straight season that head coach Marvin Lewis has decided to shake up his coaching staff midseason. Last year, offensive coordinator Ken Zampese was fired after only two games. Lewis is expected to assume the Bengals' defensive coordinator responsibilities.
This season, the Bengals have allowed opponents to score an average of 32 points per game, which ranks 31st in the NFL. On Sunday, they allowed the Saints to score 51 points and tally 509 total yards.
Cincinnati had given up 45 points to the Chiefs and 34 to the Buccaneers in their two games entering the contest.

Not a chance. That's why no quality people from outside the organization would want the job. Shades will always run the defense and any DC will be a figurehead and DC in name only. Shades doesn't want dangerous people from outside with dangerous new ideas.I’m intrigued by the thought of Martindale. If Austin is promoted- I wouldn’t mind this as long as Tomlin lets him run the defense.
What KStilley said! Lost lots of starters in secondary that’s for sure.We scored 33 points in regulation in two games and their secondary was destroyed by injuries not to mention they have allowed a couple good young linebackers to leave via free agency.

Wink did a nice job as DC the last several seasons and wouldn’t mind having him but would be shocked to see it. I think it’s Austin’s job if Butler retires.
So spot on here man... who would to come here were the Harlem clowns now teams score at will to the point they run out of fireworks? And tomlin is calling the plays but butler gets the blame? Have the Rooney’s and Tomlin no shame to lay this on Butler forcing him out??? Austin is worthless brings nothing to the table. Perfect match for “cool shades”Not a chance.
