Not even in the pre-Super Bowl era did the Steelers axe a coach midseason

However bad you thought Canada was, he was worse

Despite this we have also sucked beans at severing ties with our legendary coordinators.

Bruce Arians “retired” and Dick LeBeau “resigned”

[–] Winterclaw42@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If they kept him around any longer, steelers fans would have realized they were waving Canada towels and that would have hurt merch sales.

[–] WizardofBoswell@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This is actually more remarkable pre-1970 considering we might have been the worst professional sports team in the US in the 40 years before Chuck Noll

[–] CaptainJackKevorkian@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

this is the steelers super bowl

[–] Robertosaur@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Bears, take notes.

[–] holytrolly_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is the worst news I could have received today.

Couldn't have happened to a better guy

[–] KiteStringPopped@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He might want to leave this off his resume.

[–] CouchPotatoFamine@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

No worries, in Pop Warner you just have to pass a background check.

[–] fhrblig@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Will he be replaced by Ron Mexico?

Biggest blow to Canada since the Americans sacked Toronto during the War of 1812.

[–] sportsdiceguy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Wait, America sacked Toronto during the war of 1812?

[–] Razzorsharp@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I'm confused? Am I supposed to see the sacking of Toronto as good thing or a bad thing? (Am Canadian by the way)

Shout out my Buffalonian ancestors.

Are the Steelers finally changing the way they do business (even slightly)?

[–] Steak_Knight@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (9 children)

And now we can finally stop hearing about how the Steelers will never fire someone mid season.

[–] MicoJive@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Now all thats left are Bears fans saying the same thing

Is this a joke or do their fans actually brag about that

[–] asatrocker@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

And starting hearing about the Bears new HC, Matt Canada

I don't know many fans that would brag about it. There are certainly many fans who have called for many coordinators to be axed mid-season. I think Canada was just the worst of the bunch.

[–] potionnumber9@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Got a minute to hear about the bears and Luke Getsy, friend?

[–] mikenesser@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Can the Chargers do it next? Please?

[–] jake3988@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Just takes historical levels of ineptitude. Simple.

Really no excuse to not have done it last offseason.

kenny pickett needs to he next

[–] SayNoToStim@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

His name is "pick it," how did anyone ever let him play QB

[–] cesc05651@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Fields for a 3rd who says no? It may not work but it’ll be alot of fun

[–] ronaldthedumbass@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He'll buy himself a little more time after throwing 4 TDs against the Colts in a few weeks

Can we add this to Myles Garrett’s DPOTY resume?

And it should have happened sooner. Stability is good; doubling down on what isn't working in the name of stability is not.

what will the cope be when Pickett is still subpar? Missed many open receivers so many times.

Tomlin needs to be next!

[–] itsme32@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Outside of when in 1941 part owner Bart Bell fired himself.

[–] WeDidItGuyz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

HEY VIRGINIA! LOOK RIGHT HERE. THIS IS HOW YOU S DO IT.

[–] jyozefu@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is the Steelers' superbowl.

[–] EnjoyMoreBeef@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

No, it's not.

[–] diyerpgh@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Too bad it’s not going to make a difference. Pickett is the issue. He’s not a franchise quarterback.

[–] AMWChicago@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Alright Pace. Your up.

[–] Spiegs1984@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Technically they fired their special teams coordinator in 1989, but who's fact checking these days right?

[–] Quiet_Garage_7867@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

At least one team isn't afraid to make decisions like this to improve their plays.

[–] better-call-mik3@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

What makes this worse is that the Steelers were an historic dumpster fire before the merger and no one then was fired until Canada

[–] conceited_king_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

We need to do this with Brian Johnson

[–] pearskrof@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I wonder what the new excuse will be when Kenny will still be bad. Tomlin? Lol
