Brining him back is an admission of defeat in that plan and they aren't ready to throw in the towel.

But Pickett alone is no solution as evidenced by the numbers above. Whether this D was a worthy experiment is very much up in the air. Twice its looked colossally worse.

That's the biggest part of it right there, is that the exalted great ones stubby, Capers, and TT would NEVER admit that they are less than perfect. Bringing the big man back would have done exactly that.
