Jerry Jabber Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 I work with two Pittsburgh Steelers fans (both from Pittsburgh), and they tell me that the Steelers haven't had a good offensive coordinator since Mularkey. Even though Mularkey wasn't a good head coach, I do miss his offense creativity. He lined Lee Evans all over the field, that way he could get open, instead of just an the outside. One of the best plays I remember seeing from Mularkey, was when Bledsoe started going in on a QB sneak, then threw it back to Trash (McGahee) and Trash ran it 33 yards for a TD.

TD destroyed Mularkey by forcing him to play Losman.
Fewell733 Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 he was certainly creative. Amazing we got the production we did with a guy like Bledsoe, Losman and a horrific offensive line. Terrible head coach though. Couldn't manage the players or the press (though I think the latter was probably more on Donahoe).

MarkyMannn Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 This team could be 3-0 with Mularkey as OC and Greg Williams as DC

Mularkey is more than proving his worth with a good quarterback in Matt Ryan. I will always believe that TD's ego was so damaged by that home loss to Pittsburgh that he couldn't think straight. Drew had a year left and there was no possible way that Losman was ready.
