Be thankful Steeler fans, our team has single-handedly started the new trend of hiring young energetic head coaches. The Steelers choice, however, seems to be working out by miles ahead of the rest. Most other teams forgot about one very important thing in their interview process. They forgot to ask how big their ego was first. We all know about the Raiders and Lane Kiffin, but no other young hot-head has completely destroyed a franchise as quickly as Josh McDaniels in Denver. Not long after he took over the Broncos he was already trying to trade the Quarterback with the third highest passing yards in the NFL. This immediately started the domino effect of mistrust throughout the players on the team. Cutler wanted out because of the uncertainty of his future and other players would soon follow. After Cutler's trade to Chicago for the highly conservative Kyle Orton, their leading receiver Brandon Marshall (born in Pittsburgh) demanded his own trade. Whether it was fueled by mistrust with the team or knowing that they just unloaded the guy he knew could get him the ball, either way it comes back to McDaniels. His careless use of his powers as coach and inability to communicate with current players is leading them down the opposite path that Mike Shanahan had them on for so long. He needs to learn to project confidence on to his players instead of instilling uncertainty and confusion. Maybe Mike Tomlin is just mature for his age.
