    The guy deserves it. He did a great job in a very difficult circumstance.

      If he wins it again next year, it will be truly amazing...he did well this season, but you can't deny that Luck was on his side...

        Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

        Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

        We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

        We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

            Didnt care for BA as OC of the Steelers, but never disliked him personally. Congrats to BA. Award was well deserved.

              He did a great job with Indy and yes well deserving of the award. He has a monumental task of trying to improve the Red Birds in a tough division. Seattle is expected to compete with the 49ers and even the Rams have potential to be at least a decent team.

                Not a great OC, but did a great job this year as substitute HC....

                He deserves it...

                  Ben seems to have always been right and the fans seem to have always been wrong about BA.

                    How can you say that when he took Indy to the play offs under the circumstances. He was still the guy controlling the offense and doubling as HC. Perhaps he was successful because he wasn't encumbered by antiquated perceptions and influence from team ownership on what "Colts football" should be?

                      Or, perhaps he had a QB who was able to take the pounding that his offense requires and not be injured for any length of time...

                          Yup, good for him. I did not care for him as the Steelers OC, but he did an amazing job this year.

                            I believe that Luck was the most hit QB in the league this year. When you are trying to preserve an investment like the Steelers are with Ben, that is not what you're looking for.

                            Perhaps BA had to leave because he was too stubborn and refused to adapt and call shorter pass routes.

                              Not to dismiss what BA did, but it helped that the Colts played one of the weakest schedules in the league. Against winning teams, they were less than 0.500. If that had happened to the Steelers under him, people (including me) would be calling for his head. BTW, was BA also OC for the Colts, or does someone else get the credit for the O?
