Everytime we sign an ex-Steelers, ala Mularkey, Gibson, or Shaw, everyone screams "NOT ANOTHER PITTSBURGH GUY!!!"
Why not? Realistically, if they're any good, I don't see why we can't sign them just because they have Pittsburgh ties. How else are you supposed to sign people if you can't sign the ones you know from the past? Is TD supposed to post on Monster.com and recruit whoever is out there? I'd feel more comfortable with him recruiting people that he has personal experience with in the past than randomly getting people whom he doesn't know well.
If you are to run a company, would you recruit people whom you worked with before and KNOW that they're good, or people who give "good interviews" but you have no idea what kind of workers they really are?
