Amen to that. Why does Colbert have a job for life?

In 2003 Dan Rooney turned the daily operations of the Steelers over to his son. Since then we have been to 3 Superbowls. Did I miss something is this a bad thing? What makes you think we need him back in charge?

I don't have a problem with a bad year, the last below .500 season we were able to draft Ben.

I do have a problem when a team loses to the Raiders, Titans, Browns, and Chargers. We lost a ton of leadership in Smith, Farrior, and Hines last year. I don't see a leader emerged yet on either side of the ball. The team has talent but is playing uninspired and listless. Game plans are horrid. Game management is less than stellar.

I hate to say it, but perhaps a down season will help our draft prospects and right the ship a little. That and perhaps dabbling in FA here and there. Plenty of room for improvement.
