I agree ! Surely you can't sit here and say that a guy isn't a good OC because he wasn't successful when he was with the Browns ! I mean comon, nobody is successful with the browns, gimme a break ! The browns have been consistent at nothing other than under achieving and losing for a LONG time now. That's no t Ariens fault, they have had little talent on that team for a decade now up until recently when they started drafting some good players who just don't work out or get injured all the time.

Now keep Whipple as QB coach and all will be good.

Whipple is the other one I was worried about keeping because with a new head coach now on board, having some familiar faces to help with the transition is a good thing if you ask me.

Our staff will already have fresh new faces in it with Grimm, Spencer, Hoak, and Cowher gone so it's not like we're retaining everyone. Personally I'd like it if he kept everybody on board now, and mixed in with the new faces Tomlin will have to hire it could work out very nicely for us. Enough change to give fresh faces and ideas a chance but not so much that we end up trying to rebuild everything that our current staff has put together and got us to a super bowl with.

Bruce Arians is a Joke

I can't believe they promoted him.
I'm telling you now
They are setting him up to be the fall guy

I heard we got or are going to get Ken Anderson as our QB coach. All I can say if that is true is, SHIT!

**SteelersfaninPhilly** · 01-24-2007, 06:42 PM

That's funny, in a painful sort of way.

At this point all we know is that Tomlin interviewed Anderson, he didn't offer him the job. I think we've had more than enough rumors of who's getting hired and who isnt already to not believe them till we see an official announcement.

that says they expect to hire him

i won't judge position coaches just yet, i'll wait to see if ben can throw under 20 ints to see if it was a good move or not

also remember, these guys y'all are talkin about never had good talent to work with, maybe with actual talent they might actually do a good job...........
