Rolling out the same guys results in the same results. Right or wrong, new voices were needed in Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Buffalo.

Pittsburgh is going nowhere without a QB so why pay a lot for a head coach who gets you to roughly .500 which pretty much precludes you from getting a qb. They are better off tanking.

Lots of stories about "tension" re: Harbaugh, Monken and Jackson. On top of that fact, Baltimore has underachieved the last few years which is a death sentence to a coach with one of the best qbs and best defenses in the league. Background is that Harbaugh was asked to dump Monken and refused to.

McDermott hasn't been able to unlock the offense with one of the best 3 qbs in the league. I don't think Brady (who has ridden his coaching of Burrows at LSU his entire career) is the answer since he has been running the offense.

I happen to think that LeFleur is the major problem in GB since an underachieving offense is the key problem and he runs the offense. I think he only keeps his job since the openings in the NFL far surpass the quality of available candidates and the new President there isn't in the position to make changes so he rides with the current regime. Unless GB makes some key coaching changes(i.e. new special teams coach, new OC or at a minimum a new OL coach and probably a new QB coach). there will be the same underachieving mess we have seen there in the future.
