What will be the change(players and coaching staff)?
Canada needs to go. Worse OC since 1998 Ray Sherman.
Tomlin will retire? ��
Canada needs to go first, then Tomlin.
Canada needs to go for sure. Just curious who you guy's and gal's like for a replacement?
Ben Roethlisberger, although he said he doesn't want to coach. However, money talks. Pay the man!Quote:

If I’m Tomlin, I’m doing the moves this week and making a statement…Canada out, Sullivan in, making calls to Munchak. Also making calls to find someone who knows how to coach WRs. Danny Smith…safe for now…bigger fish to fry…Quote:

Tomlin needs to go, he is the captain of this shit show. Tomlin is NOT a good coach.
Agreed on making OC - that should be a priority. Line coach too. WR's are not doing their jobs, poor technique and lack of concentration is on poor practice - game prep and coaching. Ultimately Tomlin is responsible - he's got to make changes otherwise the stink will reach his office.Quote:

Find a really good QB and WR coach.
They really need a good OC that can set a cohesive coaching staff with an actual plan .

Give more touches to Warren
Demote Claypool. Give someone else who's WR3/4/5 more reps in his place.
I don't know if it's the best move to fire an OC in the middle of the season, but if that happens, I won't argue the decision
It’s not so much “line up changes” Mike..,
Canada needs all of his playcalling duties removed, or better yet, removed entirely. His gameplans are terrible.
Jaylen Warren needs promoted to starter and Najee to second string. Najee, whatever his problem is, is hurting the offense when he's on the field.
DJ and Claypool demoted to 3rd and 4th string.
They could have massive line-up changes if they were just able to field their starting 22 and not "random lucky fan off the street".Quote:

Just some possible/likely ideas. Fire Canada, promote Sullivan as the OC for the rest of the season, I'd do this tomorrow. More snaps for Warren over Najee, Sims/Gunner cut for Calvin Austin(and use him!!!), listen and consider all trade offers. More snaps for Mark Robinson at ILB.
2 and 4. Pickens is clearly the best and most reliable receiver. He's the 1. DJ with all his anti-clutch tendencies, is still the clear cut #2. Claypool needs to be demoted to 4, the #3 needs to be someone you can count on (in the modern NFL the #3 is a starter), and he ain't it.Quote:

The Rams kinda counter this.Quote:

Same coaching staff that looked like geniuses last season with no answers now because they’re missing talent at OT and WR.
It’s not that teams are so much more talented but it’s having talent at key spots.
Q: If we fire Canada, with whom do we replace him?
A: Who cares???
This this how I feel about Tomlin. The Steelers could put any coach in his position and achieve what probably should be 0-5 going on 0-9.Quote:

So who was fired today? No one? Yeah, that's what I thought. Tomlin, as usual, is full of crap. I'll believe it when I see it.
I'm all for changes, but I'm also for not making snap decisions. If he decided yesterday they will "consider" changes, expecting them to occur within 24 hours is a little quick, especially for a franchise that notoriously does not make snap decisions.Quote:

We have good core players, our OL looks better each week (even if incrementally) and for now our QB question is answered.
Munchak left to be closer to his grandkids here in Denver. I assume if he wanted to work, he would have a job already.
MT needs to have great coordinators, period. Just need to figure out how to get them on this team.

The odd thing is no one on ESPN, NFL network or any other Network dare to call him out for his piss poor coaching. No one calling for him to be fired or even put on the hot Seat,he is untouchable. How Tomlin hasn't lost his job already isn't beyond understanding, its got everything to do with The Steelers organizations stance on firing coaches.Quote:

If Canada was gonna get fired we would have heard about it today...as usual, we heard nothing which means it will be business as usual for another week.

He won't do anything that rash.....he'll SUSPEND the ballboy WITH pay to make a statementQuote:

I'm still not sure where the "Knee" part comes from, but the "Jerk" part is obvious.
These posts are both sad and hilarious simultaneously.

When was the last time the Steelers made a mid season coaching change?
George Pickens need to be promoted to Diontes routes as the primary target.
Dionte can goes to 2 and maybe someof claypools end around nonesense.
Claypool can ride bench and we try out Steve Sims who is faster for for the end around ... and if Calvin Austin 3 decides he wants to play football again try him out too
Warren needs to split with Najee.
Canada needs to go but wont, since there is no replacement.
Our QB coach has been an OC for Tampa and the Giants. He COULDN'T be worse than Canada. I'd make that change in a heartbeat just to send the message that what's been happening for the last 22 games IS NOT acceptable. Of course, Tomlin doesn't have those kinda balls to make that decision so he'll just ride out the season and make more speeches about the standard being the standard and nothing will change, so the standard is to now accept mediocrity and do nothing active to fix it....just like every halftime.Quote:
