Prediction for the off season

[obxsteeler]

But his record is above the line and since that is what the balchinians like to harp about it must be the only thing that matters.

In the end the record is the only thing that does matter. Name me someone considered a great coach who has a losing record. Someone noted Colbert and Tomlin have built the worst defense in 30 years. They have also built the best offense in 30 years. Just because the were handed Ben? Remember when Tomlin took over Ben was considered by many(including a number of Steeler fans) to be a "game manager". No credit to coaching for changing that? Whether you consider this team on the upswing or downswing that will be determined over the next few years. I'm not sure that anything but record will make that determination.

If that was the case we should have hired John Madden, because he has the best record ever, and the trophy needs to have the name changed.

Like the guy or not, Madden had a lot of success as a coach.

He also has his name on a video game which some feel is more important. Anyway no one could hire him because his fear of flying overcame his love of coaching.

Colbert is fired. Or "retires" like Bruce did.

If the Steelers make the playoffs and these young kids like Tuitt, Bryant, McCullers, Bell, Jones & Shazier all keep playing like they are or improve on the way to the playoffs Colbert's job is safe! OBVIOUSLY! I'm not ready to say it yet but the past 2 seasons the Steelers seemed to have drafted pretty damn good and players like that is what will keep Colbert in the Burgh. 2008 & 2009 drafts might have stunk and they are the reason the Steelers are where they are now but the past two seasons we can't complain about the job drafting the Steelers have done.
