Steelers moving on from Randy Fichtner was a knee-jerk reaction

The Steelers parted ways with Randy Fichtner, but was it a prudent move, or was it a ‘knee-jerk’ reaction?

Look, I completely understand the argument supporting the Steelers moving on from coaches after a disappointing exit in the playoffs; however, I believe the decision to move on from our offensive coordinator may have been a knee-jerk reaction. Randy Fichtner, the Steelers OC for the past three seasons, will not be returning for the 2021 season.

Since we don’t know at this point what the future holds for Ben Roethlisberger, our future Hall of Fame QB, does it really make sense to part ways with Fichtner?
