Maybe there will be later but there is no way the entire defensive coaching staff should return. If Butler isn't gone then Lake and or Porter should be. Agreed. Too bad they didn't sign Kevin Greene to coach the LBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they keep this defence the way it was, how will we watch these games without high levels of alcohol ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the defense did look real great to start the season so they did have some success but the last part of the season is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.. we better get the communication part of this unit fixed for next yr... I look at next yr as a do or die situation for a lot of guys (Butler, porter and lake).. gonna be real upset if I see our season end again due to defense being dazed and confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I think colbert has to attack free agency and add a bunch a vet depth on the defense... really wish he drafted defenders in the draft over conner and dobbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I know that it has been said that the defense of staff is not going to undergo any change but I don't believe that. They told Bruce Arians the same thing about the offense of Staff the year they decided to not extend the contract of Bruce Arians. I absolutely believe that Joey Porter and Carnell Lake before it's all said and done will not be on that defensive staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Apparently according to Gerry dulac Mike Tomlin has never hired a coordinator these coordinator decisions has been at the hands of the Rooneys. I don't believe that Mike Tomlin should be fired not in any regard do I believe that however I do believe the pressure needs to be put on Mike Tomlin to get a new linebackers coach and a new defensive backs coach nobody on that linebacker staff or that secondary staff should return for next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigilantZombie Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I like the move at OC. I think we are gonna see Randy Fichtner adjust the offense to get more from Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
