It was said that the Pittsburgh Steelers were looking to move on from offensive coordinator Bruce Arians for a while, but that his support from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the team’s success in reaching the Super Bowl during the 2010 season staved off ‘retirement’ for another year.
In spite of the fact that they finished 12-4 in 2011, however, the Steelers lost a tie-breaker for the division crown, and they proceeded to go one-and-done in the wildcard round of the playoffs against a Broncos team helmed by an obscure h-back by the name of Tim Tebow.
