I think anyone who follows this team closely enough can see that we are not devoid of talent, we are just being simply outcoached and outschemed nearly every week. I said it another forum, this team has absolutely zero sense of "team" comcept, it's like a bunch of guys playing pickup or 1-on-1 out there. There is zero accountability from the players or the coaches and like they say, the team takes on the personality of the Head Coach, which has become pretty clear, this team is too passive and aside from a few guys here and there, and there's no sense of urgency. I think we need to make a change at the top, Thompson needs to be just as aggressive as he was last year in his search for a Defensive Coordinator/Staff, and in the Draft. I would love to see him pick up Merriman in FA, the guy started out slow coming off his knee injury but it really looks like he's rounding into form with back-to-back 2 Sack games. We need a guy like Merriman, somebody who plays with passion and fire and will get the team fired up after a big play. I also think this team needs a disciplinarian at Head Coach. This team has been the youngest team in the league for I believe 3 consecutive years now and it shows by how undisciplined we continue to play, week in, week out, year in, year out. We need somebody that will get in guys faces and show some accountability when the players make mistakes, which is why I would kill to get Bill Cowher. Cowher has a prior relationship with Dom Capers and i'm sure he has ALOT of respect for him, so I don't think it would be a problem keeping Dom around. The same goes for Darren Perry(secondary coach) who played and started for 7 seasons under Cowher and Kevin Greene who started for 3 years under Cowher making 2 Pro Bowls in that span. Bill Cowher is the man I want to lead us back to our winning ways and reel in this young talented squad we have right now.

I think if this team doesn't at least finish 9-7 and show some improvement, Murphy is going to pressure Thompson to make some wholesale changes to his coaching staff at the end of the year. Even if the team finished around 7-9 again or so, I don't see Thompson being fired although he'll definitely be on the hot seat if he isn't already.

I think Mike McCarthy is already on the hot seat, but still think Ted Thompson's job is secure for now. Reading this, it sounds like he's more disappointed in Mike McCarthy than Ted Thompson.

Thompson has to be in the hot seat as well. His blunders at the safety position and his neglect of the O-Line have hurt this team bad. Although McCarthy will likely be obvious change I believe the root of our problems come from poor player acquisition and management, and I hope Murphy doesn't give Ted a pass too quickly.
