When Matt Canada woke up on Tuesday, he knew he was going to be fired. He also knew he was getting his job back. How? It\u2019s magic. Yes, literal magic, apparently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In what must surely be one of the weirdest stories in the history of the NFL, Matt Canada is back as Offensive Coordinator of the NFL team in Pittsburgh. This time, he promises, things will be different, but it\u2019s not because he has changed. The blame, it turns out, for the offensive woes of the Steelers goes to – wait for it – the fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes. You, Steelers Nation, are to blame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And, Matt Canada can prove it.
\u2028We were skeptical, as any rational person would likely be. Of all the idiotic outcomes of a firing, blaming the fans seemed a bit ridiculous, not to mention horribly wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cMagic of Matt,\u201d as he promises will soon be worn on T-shirts by the Steelers faithful, goes beyond the football field. It starts and ends in his brain, that of a hidden genius, the sort who is unappreciated until it is often too late.\u2028\u2028But, this time, something happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Mike Tomlin woke up this morning, he knew he was hiring Matt Canada back. \u201cWe made a big mistake!\u201d Tomlin revealed that, in a dream, Art Rooney, Sr., the founder of the Steelers, told him that Matt Canada needed to be the Offensive Coordinator. Rooney, according to Tomlin, said, \u201cThe path to the Super Bowl goes through Canada.\u201d While Tomlin briefly thought Rooney meant the country Canada, he didn\u2019t see how that made any sense.
\u2028\u201cUnless there is some unprecedented diversion of traffic from Pittsburgh through Toronto, I\u2019m not seeing that as a viable interpretation of Mr. Rooney\u2019s clear message,\u201d Tomlin said. \u201cHe was adamant, and so am I. We made a big mistake! Matt Canada is back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While details were not made known, Canada is expected to have a salary increase and extension. Meanwhile, Canada is working on a \u201cRedemption for the Fans\u201d program, addressing the lackluster performance of fans at games and the negative energy they have used to strangle the offense. \u201cIt\u2019s offensive. No pun intended,\u201d said Canada. Canada also said he was going to ask fans to come up with offensive plays and would have a \u201craffle-type thing\u201d where he chooses some at random every week. Because Canada practices magic, he believes the right plays will \u201cchoose themselves.\u201d Furthermore, defenses will have no idea what we are doing because we won\u2019t know either! That it how you win. Confusion and optimism. It\u2019s all random, but we can enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe have to get our mojo back. The fans<\/em> have to get theirs back. Really, it\u2019s all up to them. At this point, as much as I hate to say it, the fans have to step up their game. And, I\u2019m willing to help them do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tomlin said that Canada\u2019s comments convinced him that he\u2019s been missing the big picture for years. \u201cI always took the blame, the responsibility. However, I see now that it\u2019s never about me, the head coach. It\u2019s always about the fans. They get the glory, they get the blame.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPeople who wave a terrible towel need to not be terrible. They need to follow the lead of Matt Canada, and we can win a Super Bowl together! We will support our fans, but they have to do their part. I\u2019d hate to think of coaching the Altoona Steelers. But, if the fans can\u2019t do their job, we may have to make a change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Canada said he was \u201cpleased, though waiting to see what happens\u201d after hearing Tomlin\u2019s assessment of the Steelers fans. \u201cI\u2019m an optimist. I believe they can change, but it\u2019s ultimately up to them. We need their help, and I hope they come through, especially with designing some innovative plays. That can\u2019t all be on me. It\u2019s time they quit complaining and helped make this team better!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n When Matt Canada woke up on Tuesday, he knew he was going to be fired.

\u2028It\u2019s time for the magic to happen. However, it starts with the fans. What we need is positive vibes. It\u2019s real. We require people to be cheering us on at all times, even when we fail. They should rejoice in our failures because that is how we learn. Failing is key.<\/strong> But, so is the energy after you fail. How can we improve if we don\u2019t get the support of our fans?<\/p>\n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE: This is a satirical post.
