HIRE WILKS

I like Wilkes and his ability to communicate with the players--based on what I have seen.  Today, regardless of what the scoreboard was saying, Pittsburgh was undisciplined and we did not really take the bait.  I have a ton of respect for Tomlin, but like any coach we tend to call "great," you have to watch him without a franchise QB.  He got in a face or two today, which is admirable, but our guys stayed, for the most part, composed.

Does that mean Wilkes should be the next coach?  Nope.  I want to see how we finish.  I am not impressed with some of the defensive mechanics I saw today--bad angles, poor tackling--CB giving too much cushion vs. a #2 wr--no apparent understanding of the situation (Taylor)

Archeletta made a few good points--LBs were hesitating (when was the last time you saw Shaq in the hole making tackles?  he gets his stats 4 yards past the LOS)  Chinn was bad in contain. 

I am also disappointed in our fans--we wont even go to a home game when we have tickets when our team was in the playoff hunt--Pittsburgh fans travel and buy up tickets when their team has the same record--and less of a chance to make the playoffs.

 The Panthers lost cornerback CJ Henderson early in the game to an ankle injury, and the Steelers took advantage.

The passing game Pittsburgh did get from an efficient Mitch Trubisky was largely in the direction of replacement cornerback Keith Taylor Jr..

That was what happened on a pair of third downs late in the fourth quarter when the Steelers were able to effectively ice the game.

He didn't have to go undefeated. 

He had to win this very winnable game with what he had....at home 

Time to move on 

again..you are basically saying he cant lose a game..that is basically an impossible feat to set on the guy...any big named coach we hire will lose to teams we should beat as well.

    • Here is what it said about him coming out of college: Overview A three-year starter with good feet and technique, Samac could be in consideration for a move-blocking rushing attack. He is strong at the point of attack but will have limitations against NFL power. He operates with good hand placement and nimble feet and is a demon once he’s on the move as a pulling center leading the way. He’s fluid and agile in the run game, but those traits fail to do as much for him in protection. Samac punches with inside hands but can struggle to widen his protection base in order to protect his edges. He has eventual starting talent as a run blocker but needs to add more mass and improve in pass protection to get there.
    • Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games. 
    • I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
