4 confirmed coaching changes:
Randy fired as OC
Shaun Sarret fired as OL Coach
Tom Brady fired as DB Coach
James Daniel retires as TE Coach
We also have 3 potential openings :
Matt Canada interviewing for MIA OC
Terry Austin interviewing for Tenn DC
Omar Khan up for Panther GM and previously interviewed for HOU
Does any of this play into Ben's decision to play or not as many have asked.
Ben gets a $15 bonus if he is here past mid March. Assuming team makes a push
for a decision before then.
I think if he wants to play , and I think he can still play at a higher than
most level, he will be back. Not arguing for or against, but I think Ben stays
if he wants to play. Randy won't affect. Pounce may if he retires.
Ben's problem from a financial standpoint is unlike many other superstars he is
largely hated outside the Burgh. Not getting TV job or endorsements. His last
chance at $$ is to return next year.
If the team likes Canada they need to make a move on him soon if teams like MIA
are calling. The have a young QB, they are in warm weather and they have two
1st round picks to spend on skill positions.
As with every season, it will be interesting.
