We all want the steak, but is it really so important that we know how the cow was slaughtered?

I'm sure some Steelers fans were initially unhappy with Tomlin, but largely it was a non-issue. Why?

Because Steelers fans know that unlike Snyder, the Rooneys value stability and loyalty, and return the favor to their coaches and players. I mean, I could be wrong here, but I don't recall any ex-Steelers having gone through the kind of debacles that we've had here with coaches and players (Coles, Arrington, Arch, Lloyd, etc.)

This is exactly what I'm talking about. The end does not justify the means. The process IS news, it IS being reported, and people ARE hearing about things, rumors or not, and it all leaves a bad taste in your mouth about the man who owns your beloved football team.

At this point, regardless of what decision Snyder makes, it appears that he is still the meddler he always was, and that damage has been done. Right or wrong, if he had chosen to continue with the current staff, I believe he would have earned a lot of praise from fans, media, and players alike.

But he doesn't seem to care about any of that. It seems like he wants a ring, and he doesn't care what he has to do to get one.
