Didn't see that coming.

I'd happily keep Zierlein and Ligashesky to fire Arians.

Gahhhhh.  I hate such "deal with the devil" choices.

I'd keep Z and fire Ligashitsky and Arians, how bout that?

At least Ligashitsky's down the terlit.

Ligs is the lesser of the two evils IMO.  Personnel can go a long ways towards fixing special teams whereas a bad OC ...

Ah, why bother?

Actually, I'm really glad they unloaded this guy. We lost four games by less than a touchdown when we gave up a td on special teams. Pretty simple equation there. This seems completely unrelated to the fact that Arians should be fired.

I think we're all glad Ligashitsky is gone, and yeah, it's unrelated to the Arians firing...

But ax yourself this here question: which shakeup would change the Steelers for the better, canning the Douche Lord of special teams, who spots opposing teams 7 points a game, or canning the Douche Lord of offense, who turtles up in the RZ and loses his fucking testicles for about half the drives, and coughs up... I dunno... how much more could we be scoring per outing?  10, 14 points?  All relative.  Glad Ligs is gone.  Be happier if Arians were.
