Pez, every coach makes good and bad decisions. Steichen is not different. He is a good coach, and will get better with experience. I remember Belichik in Cleveland, Reid in Philly, and there are a few others who teams gave up on that went to another place and took off. I am not saying SS is in the same league as they are (yes, I know the NFL is the same league, but you know what I mean). I am just saying that coaches are given up on too early, just like QBs. Tomlin is a classic example of a guy who benefitted from his situation. The Steelers are one of the best run teams of all time. They mask a lot of his deficiencies. Firing guys is usually not the solution unless they lose the lockerroom, like Reich did, and SS still has the faith of the guys on the roster.
