The guy posting said "make the playoffs with the likes of tiny hands Pickett, Rudolph, Russ, washed up Rodgers," 

So like I said, he could have brought Jones in this year instead of Rodgers. My point being those were his choices and a big part of what people are measured by are the choices they make. Those were not good choices.

Maybe you look at the GM as much as the coach.
 

And Jones looked really good for sure, but who finished the year and at least got their team to the playoffs?

You make it sound like Jones' failed. He didn't. Purdy just recovered and took his starting job back. 

Yes, the Steelers went to the playoffs again and immediately lost - again.

 I was talking about Daniel Jones. 
 

Edit: and speaking of Mac Jones, him with Shanghai is a bit different than with who is it in Pittsburgh, Arthur Smith?

Gotcha. And yes there is a bit of a difference between the two coordinators

For whatever it's worth, I do think he is a players' coach and hope he does well wherever he winds up so long as it is not with the Falcons.

 I like him but I would worry a little with burnout with Tomlin.

I can't imagine him not going to the Falcons.

The one thing about that is Blank may not be with us all that long. He is pretty old now. 83. I guess with the best medical care he could have a while, but senility is a threat. 
 

Then what happens to the team?

Right. And a muddy situation where some lawyer is technically in charge. I would think there would be instructions from Blank in a will or something.
