They seem to be in trouble right now but waiting for the Steelers to fall down the hill is an exercise in futility. The only way is to climb up the hill and knock them off it.
At the moment, though, from the outside, it looks like falling dominoes over there. Chances are, the fans are in a much worse mental state about it than their FO is.
That's a great observation that could hold true for most teams when they go through difficult challenges.
The dominoes are definitely falling right now, though. I don't see the Munchak departure as being anything but bad news. It was a lateral move, which suggests there was something in the culture he didn't like. That does not bode well for the next few seasons.
That being said, they'll figure it out. Probably not next year, or maybe even not in 2020, but they'll eventually get it. I've been through more "the Steelers are done" eras than I can remember, only to see them bounce back a few years down the line. That sort of resiliency starts at the top, and I have faith that they'll eventually figure it out. The next one or two years won't be that fun, though.
