Fichtner it is..Whata y'all think

Thoughts on new OC

[Rara]

I think it'll be alright. Being the former quarterback coach and having a bond with Roethlisberger...I can see them having more trust in Ben's decisions.

Sounds good to me....

[Slapstick]

Now, just hire Jim Caldwell as the new QB coach...

When he was the QB coach for Peyton Manning, Manning was league MVP THREE TIMES...

When he was the QB coach for Baltimore, Joe Flacco played well enough to be paid like a franchise QB...oh, and won a SB...

HIRE HIM NOW...If he can make Flacco look good

[Djfan]

I just can't find a thing to make any judgement. Anyone have one scrap?

I'm on record saying its a mistake... but I'll keep an open mind. I doubt he is some sort of guru in any way, when it comes to offensive coordinating. If he was adept at (e.g. playcalling, schemes, innovations) he would've made his mark long ago (in college or pro). However, all it seems that he is, is a football lifer who gets along with people. In a way, like a Dick Hoak.

He's a nice guy and I'm sure players don't have a problem with him, but it isn't like he's going to bring anything to the table.

Yep. Tony Dungy brought them into the NFL together in Tampa...

The Depot did a write up a few years ago about Fichtner’s record, stats, and play calling balance a few years ago and they recently linked to it...

We don't need a guru, just someone to score TDS with a super talented group who's window is closing
