I don't know why I am letting myself do this franchise, as I am a Titans fan, and the Titans and Steelers are rivals, but anyway...

I am doing a franchise (Owner mode on) with Pittsburgh. I am playing with 5 minutes, on All-Pro, with wolverine318's sliders.

Steelers get new Owner
The Pittsburgh Steelers' staff announced the new owner of the franchise, Mike Carroll. Carroll is a coach who had much success coaching the Virginia Tech Hokies and the San Antonio Desperadoes, formerly known as the Atlanta Falcons.
Carroll picked a good team to manage. Here are their rankings from 2002-2003:
Scoring : 8th
Pass Offense: 7th
Rush Offense: 9th
Pass Defense: 20th
Rush Defense: 1st
Turnovers: 15th
Here is Carroll's Steeler's scouting report.
"Last year, Tommy Maddox, the former XFL MVP, threw for 2,836 yards and 20 touchdowns while sharing time with Kordell Stewart, who is no longer a Steeler. The two star running backs can give defenses headaches. Jerome Bettis can pound it up the middle with ease. Amos Zereoue, a West Virginia grad who led Pittsburgh in 2002 with 762 yards. Hines Ward will be expected to catch balls in traffic. Big Plaxico Burress (6'5", 228 lbs.) will be used for long throws.
Pittsburgh runs a 3-4 defense, with four of the best linebackers in the NFL. Outside linebackers Jason Gildon and Joey Porter played in the Pro Bowl after a great 2002 season, while Kendrell Bell and James Farrior can dominate as middle linebackers. The rookie safety out of USC, Troy Polamalu, is expected to start and help the Steelers' poor pass defense.
Antwaan Randle El hopes to have success as a kick returner."
After asked what he will do with the franchise, Carroll replied:
"My first priority is pleasing fans. I will use low ticket and concession prices, at least the first year. I would like to use many trick plays this season. This may not attract fans, but it will excite fans at the game, and could help us score.
I don't know if I will move the team any time soon. I would enjoy moving, but it will take a lot of money. Also, the Steelers have a new stadium, and I would feel guilty about moving."
He was then asked about what he wants as far as players:
"After coaching Virginia Tech, I am a little biased, and I love VT players. I would like to get players such as Andre Davis, and Lee Suggs. I am looking forward to players such as DeAngelo Hall, Kevin Jones, Bryan Randall, and Nathaniel Adibi. But, of course, I won't just get VT alumni. I will try to get the best possible."
After receiving a note, Carroll quickly left the podium after saying, "Sorry, but I must leave. I look forward to managing the Pittsburgh Steelers. Thank you for coming.
