For decades, the city of Pittsburgh was built on the foundation of being a hard-working city, one centered on the steel mills and blue-collar ethos that went into that way of making a living.<\/p>\n
That hard-nosed, blue-collar mentality eventually rubbed off on the Pittsburgh Steelers on the gridiron, connecting the franchise with the city forever in the 1970s when the Steelers went on that dynastic run. That mentality has carried over for generations, too. It\u2019s how the Steelers still operate, remaining a defense-first organization that values physical football.<\/p>\n
But, as the city itself has over the last two decades or so, it\u2019s time for the Steelers to adjust and embrace change. Pittsburgh became widely recognized across the United States as a significant health care and innovation hub, transitioning away from the steel mills and other manual-labor positions.<\/p>\n
Though the need for those manual-labor jobs and the true hard-working class remains, Pittsburgh has embraced change and is thriving.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s time for the Steelers to do the same, especially since they now find themselves searching for a new head coach<\/a>\u00a0for the first time in 19 years.<\/p>\n No longer can the Steelers focus on playing a similar brand of football that made them successful throughout their modern history. The game of football is constantly changing and evolving, and the Steelers have to get out of the antiquated mindset and adjust to the league, too.<\/p>\n
