For the first time in two decades, the Pittsburgh Steelers are on the hunt for a new head coach following Mike Tomlin\u2019s sudden resignation.<\/p>\n
While Tomlin had a ton of success during his 19 seasons with the Steelers, it was time for a change<\/a>. Pittsburgh had stagnated in recent years, failing to win a playoff game since early 2017.<\/p>\n Replacing Tomlin won\u2019t be easy<\/a>, but it gives the Steelers a chance for a fresh start with a new leader, a new voice and a new perspective.<\/p>\n Former quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who played for Tomlin for 15 seasons, recently shared his thoughts on what he wants to see from Pittsburgh\u2019s new head coach.<\/p>\n \u201cMy first thought is I want an offensive-minded head coach. That\u2019s what I would do if I was the general manager,\u201d Roethlisberger said<\/a> on a recent episode of his \u201cFootbahlin\u201d podcast. \u201cI\u2019m ready for an offensive guy. I wanna score more than six points in a postseason game.\u201d<\/p>\n Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n Roethlisberger has watched Pittsburgh\u2019s offense consistently sputter without him, and he\u2019s seen enough, especially after his former team failed to score a touchdown in its lone playoff game this season. The Steelers were a defense-minded team under Tomlin, but a new coach could reignite the team and give the offense a boost. <\/p>\n Roethlisberger wants someone young and innovative, not a retread like Mike McCarthy. Especially if Aaron Rodgers comes back, they need to get the most out of him and his supporting cast before he retires.<\/p>\n Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n
