In my opinion, Pete will be here for two more seasons and the team will still have needs. I don't feel he is going to go hard on this. In another words, we are going to just have to ride the next couple of years trying to do the best we can with what we have which isn't going to be favorable. Sure, hopeful upgrades and replacement players will be obtained in that time, but the time needed to implement and get those players going isn't going to happen under Pete. Just my opinion.
I have to side with others pitt that you tend to fall on the half glass empty side of things and that's okay. The state of the team this season (and in recent seasons) lends itself more and more to what you might call realism. I have to agree that the Pete era is running out, and I just don't see it all magically being put together for one final Championship season before he exits and that's just too bad. Especially considering I think we have the talent to do it (for the most part), but coaching and scheme is just a big miss to me right now.
