If Not Joe, Then Who?

This is actually my first post, so take it easy on me here. I think we all want to win now but has any thought been put into taking a younger coach and developing him like the Steelers' do? Through thick and thin, winning and loosing the organization stuck behind Cowher, anyone remember Kordell Stewart? Maybe someone like a Pete Carroll or Norm Chow? Someone who will bring some excitement and swagger back to DC and modernize the playbook!

I like this line of thinking. Bring in someone with some fairly recent college coaching credentials, but also coming from an NFL coaching pedigree. I haven't researched a list of possible candidates, which I know everyone wants but I'll work on it....later.

Welcome. But don't you think Saunders' playbook is pretty modern. We've been running a lot of trick plays and have been pretty pass-happy these past few weeks. Unfortunately, the line isn't blocking, the players at the skill positions aren't executing, and JC is playing well but is making mistakes at critical times.

Agreed, Saunder playbook is modern, but we need someone to who is able to fully utilize that playbook and understand it. I think Gibbs and Saunders have problems relating in situations because their philosophies are soooo very different. I would not have even minded and end around to Moss on that third and 8 yesterday. I say Gibbs goes to President, Williams and Saunders stay where they are and bring in Bud Foster haha, he will have to listen to the other 2 on basic seniority principles!

Welcome to the board. I just don't think we have the patience for what the Steelers have done. We don't have it for a HOF coach, I doubt we'd have it for an up and comer.

I would like to see someone (Byner maybe?) move up to a more prominent role on the staff though

Welcome. I like your sig.

Fortunately if Cowher did come here, Jason Campbell is no Kordell Stewart. He's actually quite a bit similar to Roethlisberger...
