    This had to be done. With the remainder of our schedule somewhat favorable and Burrow and Watson both down for the year the path is there for a play-off run. It just wasn't going to happen as it should with Canada.

    A new day awaits, let's go Steelers! Here we go!

      Yeah...very short stints with both clubs. This underscores a big issue I had with Tomlin not bringing in someone with a successful resume calling plays in the event something like this were to happen. We all knew it was likely that Canada would fall flat on his face again. I was hoping for Mark Whipple based on his previous success here and with Pickett at Pitt. Let's hope Sullivan and the rest of the coaches are able to take this JV offense and at least find plays that are able to exploit the defenses they are facing.

        Good news. Now will we see what Kenny can do, or… if Kenny can do.

          The offense was ready to mutiny, Tomlin had no choice. And he saw how the defense has been working to keep them in every game.
          Exactly. So now let’s see Pickett does now.

            They can add a few plays but for the most part Canadas goofy playbook is what we’re dealing with for the rest of the season.

            Lmao…. My brain won’t shut down on this glorious news! Mid season, the VERY LIMITED possibilities!

                The supposed shackles are off now. Does Warren too get promoted?

                    Will we improve who knows but enough of this sh*t show of an offense. That last possession against the Browns was the final coffin nail in Canada's career as a Steelers coach.

                    I'm proud of Art II. It takes a lot to get a Rooney to eat money but he knows he has to take charge of this ship before it sinks.
                    Rooney knew this weeks game was a “must win” game. Cause Ravens are about to boat race the Chargers this weekend.

                          LOL. He can’t blame Canada for his sub par performance last week.

                            Or does Najee now get plays that aren’t telegraphed where he’s met in the backfield?

                                Just saw the news, obviously it's welcome news but let's talk about the elephant in the room, the offense isn't likely changing much at all this season so for those that have the pitchforks ready for KP I would maybe stand down until next season.

                                There are some obvious questions here - for one, why did it take so long? Why was Canada even brought back for a third season? I suspect this move was actually done by Rooney but I hope it's Tomlin doing this and realizing actual change needs to take place but I have serious doubts. Let's see how things go.
