Other than offensive line, has there been a better group for the Steelers than running back since he got hired in 2014? Tomlin is making changes just for the sake of making changes
Have a feeling he will beKeith Butler, meanwhile, is still employed.
The fact that Saxon was right as admitted by Fichtner himself would've made it even worse for Fichtner IMO.My guess... Saxon was irked with Fichtner's usage of the RBs and likely clashed with him most of the season. Firing him is likely at Fichtner's request.
Fichtner doesn't strike me as the egotistical type so I'd be surprised if Saxon's firing was partly his decision. Just seems too far out of left field for them to fire Saxon when the RB production has been a bright spot on this team.The fact that Saxon was right as admitted by Fichtner himself would've made it even worse for Fichtner IMO.

True, it makes no sense whatsoever.Fichtner doesn't strike me as the egotistical type so I'd be surprised if Saxon's firing was partly his decision. Just seems too far out of left field for them to fire Saxon when the RB production has been a bright spot on this team.
Speaking of Munch... Heard he turned down an interview in Miami for the HC vacancy.
Tells me he's only going to pull up anchor for the "right fit". ie Denver.
Yea all signs point to that being his desired location. And if reports of his unhappiness here in PIT are true, then I wouldn't be surprised if he took a job out there that wasn't a HC.He's staying out in DEN after the interview...I know his daughter lives out there, but I'm also thinking he has been told to hang around maybe.
It sounds like it's DEN or naught as far as HC jobs go for Munchak.

Good intel. I haven't been following it very closely. But there seems to be a little more optimism that Munch returns now. Fingers crossed.Report: John Elway is choosing between Vic Fangio and Mike Munchak
At least according to this article. It sounds like this Fangio/Kubiak OC combo might have the inside track.
Can't blame him if he did, but IDK if I believe he wants out that badly...it seems like if there's a location fit for him as a HC he's gone, and right now DEN's location is it.
If that job goes to Fanjio, I'm not sure he's gone. He's already ruled out AZ, the other interview locations seem to be fizzling.
We shall see.
