Does Polian Have To Go To Get A New Defensive Scheme?

Someone explain to me the inner working of our club. If we get a new DC is Polian going to let them do their thing without interfering and draft players to fit that system accordingly or does Bill tell the DC what kind of system they will use? I have always got the idea that Bill won't budge from his faster smaller philosophy. If something hasn't worked for like 10 years wouldn't you start to wonder if it's the system at some point? Don't most clubs let the DC decide what system to use? Forgive me if I have got this all wrong:)

The small but fast philosophy was Dungy's, not Polian's. As soon as Dungy retired, they started drafting bigger and stronger players. Yes I know that some of the players are still undersized but you can't replace the entire roster overnight. :)

      I'm very interested in Carlie's as well.  I'm just not sold on our starting LB core.

      Yeah North.....maybe I got confused about the Pittsburgh Pirates playing in the central.  But I think before realignment there were only 3 divisions, I think.. Like the Colts and Dolphins played in the East, the Raiders and Broncos played in the West and the Steelers and Brownies played in the Central.  But yeah my mistake the Steelers currently in the North division.

      I just wanted to give Pitt some love for his recent comments about Indy and family values. I also loved what he said about focusing on the long term financially and considering the situation youre in. He appreciates his place in the organization and that speaks volumes about him as a man. The Texans can have guys like Diggs, Im happy with Pitt. Just a top notch dude.    This is a place a lot of people love to hate on, for some reason. But he is living proof that all this rhetoric about how "nobody wants to live in Indiana" is just bonafied baloney. So many former players stick around here after retirement. There is a reason for that.    He is the exact kind of person you would think wouldnt like it here. Rich california kid whose father played in the NFL. Lives on a little farm in Indiana with his wife, who is also from California. And they both love it here.    Those huge cities are very over rated and it isnt for everyone. We just have to find people like Pitt who do and allow them to become pillars of the franchise.

      "I think he flashed last year and can add some value to the LB room."  And I also responded directly to the LB room question. I will simplify, he has a looooow ceiling.   So what's the Problem, why argue?
