With the lack of success at OLber, and in the secondary I would rather the WR coach be one with many years of coaching experience.

Position coaches can only do so much when the scheme you are running does not fit your personnel or play to another teams weakness. Giving Blake Bortles 7 seconds to throw the ball on every drop back is a scheme issue not an execution issue. Thinking you can beat teams by putting more DB's on the field in coverage is a scheme issue. Trying to play zone defense against NE repeatedly and always getting burned is a scheme issue. Until you fix your scheme how can you honestly evaluate a player or coaches performance within that scheme.

They had plenty of chances to develop talent, and arguably was below the line. No coincidence that the experienced positions excelled.

And as we thank Coach Mann for his outstanding contributions, let's not forget to tip our hat to the man that hired him. One of the few coaches Tomlin actually hired from outside the organization. He and Tomlin go back to their Tampa Bay days.

Hopefully we can get Hines Ward to take over the receivers. I think he’d be great. Maybe we can get a coaching jacket with a big 86 on it.
