The #Steelers also brought in longtime LBs coach Jim Hermann to work w/ their defense this week. (He was the #Giants LBs coach when I covered NY. Those Giants beat the #Patriots twice in one season.

When you have no confidence in your D or coaching, bring in outside help.

Buy or sell this will help the defense ?
 
Somebody must be really feeling the heat.
 
BUY....................Because it's an outside influence who hasn't bought into the current defensive idea. I realize it isn't going to overhaul or "FIX" instantly nthis current state but maybe, just maybe the "D" coordinator & influencer may pick a little something up that may add better presence of our LBs.

Now if Bud Dupree suddenly becomes unstoppable you fire ******* peezy before the end of the game.

I’m buying. Definitely don’t think we are dramatically different overnight but can’t hurt to get fresh ideas from someone outside the building. Also, not the Steelers way of doing things of firing a coach during the season but I would not expect Butler to be here next year no matter how this season unfolds.
 
I like the effort to bring in a fresh set of eyes. Is this something that teams actually do? I haven't heard of it before and the optics are a bit concerning that you can't rely on your own staff to prepare the defense for a game.
 
whatever it takes.

I saw Roquan Smith pick up a crossing TE in the game this past week and stop the pass.
A rookie did what Vince Williams and the rest of our LBs fail to do on even an inconsistent basis.
 
Definitely buying. Lbs need all the help we can get. Question is will the team listen/ try any of the ideas

How long after watching them practice do you think it took that coach to start laughing?

Slow ILBers - ****** scheme, this cat has his hands full.

Giants used 4 linemen to rush Brady, and didn't use slow *** ILBs. Why not do this 5 years ago?

Joey Porter is a disgrace as a coach and would not be employed by any team if his running jock sniffing headcoach did not employ him. This move says all you need to know about Tomloin and Porter. It was OK to be mediocre in your job for 5 years as long as the heat wasn;t coming your way, SMH
 
Is this Tomlin finally admitting he has no f'ing clue what he's doing? What a joke.

Yup. But at this point, **** it, do it. At least tomlin is willing to swallow his pride and admit when he's been whipped (finally)
Of course, if the steelers still get lambasted by the pats, it'll be extra-embarrassing
 
Tomlin is admitting nothing. This is being done by the Rooneys, they are tred of s=this **** show and will again emasculate Tomlin who has never picked his coordinators, 12 years into his tenure and that speaks volumes about how little the Rooneys trust and respect him. He is nothing but a cheer leading figurehead.

OR,........maybe next time they bring in an X-coach of another team and have him help coach up our current coach............

Beleive me, I want the STEELERS to succeed as much as anyone and It would be great if our CURRENt coaching regime could bring us to that,..... But the years have past and NOT much has changed. CHEATRIOTS are going down..!!!!\






Salute the nation
 
I can imagine it went something like this.

Tom Hermann comes in and watches some game film with the defensive coaches. After 15 minutes of so:

Hermann: Why you guys dropping defensive tackles into short coverage over the middle? They can't hang with receivers and tight ends.

Butler: We don't. Those are our stud inside linebackers.

Hermann: Oh. Ohhh. You guys have some whiskey around here?
