Ever wonder why we're the 31st ranked teams in wins over the past decade?  Part of the reason is because we always get lowball coaches.  Look at what other (mostly consistent) playoff teams spend on coaches.  Our coaches always hover around the $3 million to $4 million dollar mark.  Why not go out and pay top dollar to get a Bill Cowher, someone that can load up his staff with experienced winning coaches --- I"m only using Bill Cowher as an example of someone that may have been available over the past 10 years when we were going through Mularkey, Bradley, and Marrone --- as noted above, I think Shad likes to go cheap on coaches and that is partially the reason we are the 2nd to worst team of the decade.
