However let's try to stay calm here.
Marvin was a great DC. Him taking over the reigns of DC could help improve this defense, which is horrendous. Even a slight improvement is an improvement. If they can just get a few more stops on 3rd down, and prevent yards on 1st and 2nd, then we are a bit more competitive. He has talent on the defense, that is for sure. So let's see if he can bring out that talent and focus on stops and not just creating turnovers.
Hue had Dalton rolling in 2015, and while I don't think he should be handed the OC spot. He CAN work with Lazor to assist with an already decent offense. Be more creative with different looks.
Hue also has HC experience from 2 different franchises. That experience will allow for Lewis to focus more on Defense while Hue handles some of the other task that HCs have to do, things that are time consuming and important, that can be delegated to him.
Add to the fact that he should have some insight into the Browns, that should give us an edge over them.
The Steelers have a tough schedule ahead of them. Yes they beat the Panthers, but Jacksonville has been a tough team for Pittsburgh, and they will have to play in Jacksonville. They also have to travel out to Denver, which is never easy, have the competent Rivers and the Chargers, then travel out west again to play the Raiders. Throw in games at the Saints and NE before playing us again and that means the division could still be ours if we make some adjustments and changes.
If not winning the division outright, we are in the drivers seat for a WC spot. These types of changes can help set up teams for good to great runs. I am happy with the removal of Austin and will be interested in seeing if Lewis is able to turn around this horrid defense, I think Hue helps this team and will take the "watch and see" that Lewis told us to do, before giving up on the team.
