You say that, but it worked for Pittsburgh a few years ago with Todd Haley. I'm not really pointing at the coordinator, though... everything about our offense is putrid. It was putrid under Schottenheimer. It was putrid under McDaniels. It was kinda OK under Shurmur.. at least in 2010. But it was putrid under him in '09. It was putrid under Saunders. It was putrid under Olson. It was pretty bad under Fairchild.
The thing is, it's weird... there's no connection between all these horrid offenses. We've turned over coordinators seven times. We've turned over the entire O-line five or six times, it seems. We've churned through WRs. We've churned through top-caliber RBs. We've gone through Bulger, Bradford, Davis, Hill, and now Foles at QB. We've gone through 5 head coaches, one of whom turned out to be an offensive genius in Dallas. crap, we've had three ownership groups, if you consider Chip and Lucia one in and of themselves. Yet every year, our offense is bad. And not just bad, but freaking intolerably bad. Boring to watch. Predictable. No explosion. Nothing.
And now we're watching a team that takes two games to generate enough yardage to be considered an "offensive explosion" by normal teams. What the hell.
