Top picks: EJ Manuel, Sammy Watkins, Ronald Darby & Shaq Lawson (Tre was McD's pick) + Doug Whaley & Rex Ryan recommend Whaley (well, maybe St. Doug doesn't). That together w/ our 6-10, 9-7, 8-8, & 7-9 records under him w/ 0 play off appearances and the complete gutting/overhaul of his roster by the next regime that HAS since had success, makes for such a strong resume, I have no idea why the Steelers wouldn't hire him.
