Could Arians emerge as a candidate at Ole Miss

By Doug Segrest -- The Birmingham News

Could there be an NFL darkhorse?

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians has strong ties to the region, having served two stints each on the staffs at Alabama and Mississippi State. There may be another connection, as well. Arians was the quarterbacks coach with the Indianapolis Colts when Peyton Manning was a rookie.

And Manning's father, Ole Miss icon Archie Manning, is a member of the search committee.

If he gets the job, Truckypoo can send him a special cake that says: Hey OLE guy, we'll sure MISS you

I'll do it myself:

next up for the Steelers OC is????????????????????
????????????????
?????????

current Steelers QB coach Randy Fichtner.

after the Steelers won the Superbowl when Cowher was headcoach the Steelers o-line nosed dived real quick and Arians had the good luck of being the Steelers OC with some of the shittiest Steelers o-lines, well before Chuck Noll took over as head coach.

People often ask, "If Arians leaves, who do you think will or should be the next OC?"
My guess is that it'll be someone most of us have never heard of.

I think Fichtner would be worth considering.

Quote :

Fichtner, who instituted the spread offense at Memphis, was an integral part of the Tiger football team for six years. He was hired in 2001 to serve as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, and his offense re-wrote the Memphis record book for six seasons.

In 2004, All-American running back in DeAngelo Williams led an offense that finished the year ranked ninth nationally in total offense and 10th in the nation in scoring. Fichtner was a part of unprecedented offensive success at Memphis that also contributed to the Tigers playing in three straight bowl games from 2003-05.

Oh GOD please, let it be so!

I'm going to laugh my ass off when training camp 2012 rolls around and Arians is still the OC.

I long for yet another season of stupid arguments like "he's so predictable I can call the play before the snap" and "If he's so great then why hasn't he become a head coach".

If he's back next season, I promise I won't disappoint you.
