If it's working, tweak it a little bit by bringing in a couple of guys that you trust. Our team definitely works right now as indicated by the close losses we had this year. Our team is not in disarray, open revolt or enduring any sort of mass free agent exodus. Whoever comes is going to have to "settle" for what he's already got. I'm sure Snyder will see to that or it will probably be a brief Spurrier-like existence next year.

In Norv's case it worked because of a similar style of offense and defense. If you bring Cowher he plays a 3-4 D and a more conservative O which would change things dramatically.
