This is amazing: "The last time the Steelers had fired a head coach or coordinator midseason was when half owner Bert Bell dismissed himself

as the head coach in 1941."

The US was not yet in World War 2 when the Steelers last fired a top-tier coach midseason. That's ridiculous and speaks largely to how good that franchise is at staying the course.

If I recall right, they have 3 head coaches since Nixon's inauguration.

Hire good people, get out of their way, let them do their jobs, don't panic. Weird concept to stability.

- I doubt it'll take that long -- they're built so smart that they would need to lose a lot quick to be *bad*...and I'd think they could get a 2nd tier - Will Hunting Nov 25, 15:51 3
  - Hell, looking at their schedule, they might be 10-4 in a few weeks. - Will Hunting Nov 25, 15:56 2
