you mean Cleveland too. Give him a chance, dude. Maybe he got something good coming out of him finally.

I agree Philly. Ariens didn't do that great when he was OC of the Browns. I don't understand why there needs to be so many holdovers from Cowher's staff. I don't think it would harm Ben if someone new came in.

The guy has worked with alot of good WR's in his time here,he knows the offense, I think he'll make a good OC for us. There will be an adjustment time but he's had alot of great training influence from his mentors on staff and previously.

not like it really matters, we are going back to old steelers football and that's run run run maybe a pass but run run run.........

Not too many people though Belichek was a good coach when he was with Cleve either. Not that Arians will end up with that kind of success, but he didn't really have any tools (well good ones) in cleve.

Belichick = Old Browns, good team, got screwed.

Ariens = New Browns, shitty team.

Don't dismiss Bruce Arians who is one of the better teachers in the league - remember this is the guy who was Peyton Manning's first QB coach in the league and set him on his way before moving to Cleveland as OC and getting them to their only playoff appearance (yep, that playoff game in '02 at Heinz Field where they scared the crap out of everyone before succumbing to Tommy Maddox) since their rebirth. He's a good coach. That was definitely the most exciting game I ever witnessed!

I dont like this move at all. This guy is not worth the time in my eyes they should have brought in someone from the college ranks to give them a try. I dont like this and I am going on record saying he will be the first steelers coach let go during the Tomlin stay.
