I'm one of the few who doesn't think management has been horrible recently. No seriously.
Granted, historically Mike brown is the worst owner/GM in sports history. But over the last several years I'd say the only thing management is truly guilty of is hanging on to Marv too long. Sure, I'm not a fan of ignoring high profile free agents or ignoring the trenches in the draft, but at the same time that approach has worked (up until recently). I was furious they let Whitworth and Zeitler get away, but honestly Zeitler isn't worth what he got from Cleveland. I'm not so sure Whitworth ever truly intended to come back here either. The main reason we rarely win in Primetime, seldom best Pittsburgh, and haven't won a playoff game is poor coaching. That's my belief anyway.
We replace Marvin with someone with football smarts and a killer instinct... Then I think we'll be real contenders in just a few years (maybe even sooner).
This franchise has nothing to lose by changing HCs pat, but the problem is, I don't think MB will hire a HC and give him free reign that needs to happen here. He fired the very coach you described in Sam Wyche.
