Open Letter to Bruce Arians

I found this post over at our friends site Behind the Steel Curtain and wanted to help spread the word as it is a great post in our opinion.
Dear Bruce:
Congratulations on receiving confirmation that your contract through the 2010 season will be honored. As one in the minority who has defended you throughout Steeler Nation, I believe you deserved that vote of confidence.
In case you haven’t noticed, you do not have good chemistry with Steeler Nation. You probably don’t care, but I’ll tell you why anyway. Simply put, you are not a subscriber to Steeler Football, which has been a badge of honor in the Nation for as long as I can remember, the early ’60s.
Steeler Football traditionally has been John Henry Johnson breaking someone’s jaw with a run or a block; Chuck Noll insisting that we “impose our will” on anyone standing in our way; Merril Hoge pounding his soul on Three Rivers carpet; guys like Barry Foster, Bam Morris and the marquis poster boy of Steeler Football, Jerome Bettis.
People in Pittsburgh who work hard and eat lunch from a pail, people who would trade a $100 bottle of Dom Perignon straight up for a six-pack of Iron City, people who cannot help to fall in love with a guy named “the Bus,” just have a hard time relating to your wide-open, often lunatic style. You are a wine cooler in a case of Rolling Rock…..
