The time to fire him was 2 years ago when our roster was good!

Agreed. Actually I'd say the real time to do it was 2010.

It's the only explanation I can come up with on why he has such a poor record against them. That and just absolute horrible preparation, in game adjustments, horrible challenges, and just plain horrible leadership. Just a theory.

Yep. I was one of the first to bring up this theory. And each time we lose to them I wonder more and more. I don't believe Marv intentionally tries to lose to Pitt, I think it's more of a subconscious thing. Think about it: if any of us for some reason (God forbid) became a coach of the steelers... Can you honestly say you'd be able to go all out and happily crush the bengals? I know I couldn't...
