Time to trade him. Hes been a good coach but like Andy Reid in Philly both sides need a change.

To highlight a few things a lot of writers also don't mention about #Steelers #playoff #history. The last wins, in the 2016 playoff run to losing in the AFCCG to the Patriots, were not that impressive. A one-score win against a Miami team with a backup QB and 6 FGs against the Chiefs.

I wish the Steelers were in the NFC. They’re just dealing with too many stable teams with HOF QBs in the AFC. Every year they need to get past Lamar, Allen and Mahomes. I think they would breakthrough more often in the NFC

Brooke - I mentioned to a friend the other day that these Steeler problems started because they did not have a succession plan after Ben. (That is my opinion). Is that more of a front office failure or a coaching failure? Who's responsibility was that?

Constantly looking for things to blame rather than honestly evaluating the head coach’s record is the problem in Pittsburgh.

The coach is not held accountable by the owners or the e media. The fans are constantly berated for demanding more

14 years with 3 playoff wins. That’s not a failure to have a succession plan for the HOF QB

That’s just failure

Thanks for your opinion. It was a legitimate question but sarcasm was noted. I coached collegiate volleyball for 30 years. As a coaching staff we were responsible for recruiting and bringing in new players. So...did the coaches have that responsibility? (Was Rudolph the plan?) Or front office. 🤔

I doubt that any major personnel decisions are made without Mike’s involvement. First round picks, free agents, etc

Mike has had 4 bites at the Apple. Trubisky, Pickett, Wilson and Fields. His fingerprints are on all four.

He didn’t seem to like Rudolph

Rudolph was by far the best he has had so far post Big Ben.

He talked for years about wanting a mobile QB and seems that Mason didn’t fit his idea
