Pardon the lack of posting the last day - busy day for me. Back to it though as Sunday's intriguing matchup between the Vikings and Steelers approaches. Earlier in the week we look at a pair of interesting matchups in the trenches - Jared Allen vs. Max Starks and Kevin Williams vs. the interior offensive linemen of the Steelers. There are plenty of other interesting individual and unit matchups, but because it's late in the week, I thought I'd...  

Post-Gazette: Arians will stay Thanks to MelBlunt in the fanposts for noting this: "The Steelers have fired offensive line coach Larry Zierlein and told Bruce Arians he will be retained as the team's offensive coordinator, the Post-Gazette has learned." Discuss.  

Just a few items from me real quick as I drive back from to Seattle to begin the new year in earnest. First off, too bad we don't have at least one Steelers playoff game to get excited about this year. I absolutely love the week leading up to the Wild Card round, and in those special years when the black and gold has a first round bye, the two weeks leading up to their playoff game. Even in those years when it doesn't look like the team has...  

QB Coach Ken Anderson retiring; Tomlin still weighing other coaching changes In today's end of season presser, Tomlin announced that the only Steelers coaching change as of yet is the retirement of QB coach Ken Anderson.

Did you get any Steelers related items for Christmas, Hannukah or whatever else you and yours may have been celebrating this Holiday season? Do share. My girlfriend - with the help of the one and only mary rose, got me this Art Rooney Jr. signed Terrible Towel, which soon enough will be framed and displayed above my desk for me to gaze at while I spend inordinate amounts of time thinking and writing about the Pittsburgh Steelers. In case you...

Offensive line coach Larry Zierlein has been fired, the first Steelers assistant coach to lose his job since coach Mike Tomlin was hired in 2007. Zierlein was supposed to meet with some of his linemen on Wednesday, only to be told he was being replaced. He was seen leaving the Steelers' offices with several large boxes.  

In the end, the Pittsburgh Steelers came up empty. Not on the field -- they won their final three games to avoid a losing record, which seemed very possible after they inexplicably lost five in a row. Rather, they couldn't settle on an explanation for why a team that was so good for 1 1/2 seasons became so bad so quickly, a fatal flaw in a season filled with shortcomings.
