Sources: Ben Roethlisberger expects this to be his last season with Pittsburgh Steelers

We should draft picket, he’s got the “dawg” aspect needed to be successful in the NFL

Big Ben hasn’t been good for a minute and is very injury prone these past 5 years or so. Tomlin has never had a losing season. 14 straight years with no losing seasons (tied a record). I would gladly welcome that here. He got handed a team by Cowher, but 14 years of success shows he is the real deal. 

I would take Tomlin in a heartbeat but remember that Seifert was the winningest coach in NFL history from a legendary franchise when we hired him.

Entirely possible neither Cowher nor Tomlin would be nearly as successful as non-Steelers coaches.

Well yeah it’s possible Bill himself could come here and struggle. There is just a lot lower chance of a proven NFL head coach struggling than a new one.

You know when Ben, Brown, and Bell were at their heights I would have never thought that Ben would have been the last one standing in Pitt.

Why? It's rare that RB's or WR's ever outlast franchise QB's at a team.

Yeah this is true but I would much rather roll the dice on someone Iike Tomlin after what we've seen from this college staff experiment. If he is available throw everything we've got at him.

In 2014 I didn’t think Ben had that many years left plus I figured Brown at least would be king in Pittsburgh till he went crazy.
