Are there requests to interview him? Has he stated he isn't open to interviewing right now? If Tomlin decides he is ready and willing to coach, and still there are crickets, what would that say about all those years of: - If the Steelers fired Tomlin he'd be hired in a second by another team. - If ...

Mesidor and Bain are going to be players in the pros. Can’t wait for Toney to be draft eligible. He’s a game breaker. Hoosiers had great coaching. I’m not sure I see a future NFL Pro Bowler on their roster though I do like Carter Smith. I thought Toney was as good as ANY WR in CFB this year. So muc...

I have no real interest in these Hoosier WRs. Sarratt is an average athlete and most of his catches are back shoulder throws. Cooper is good after the catch and shows a lot of effort. Not sure he’s a great route runner, seems like a #3 in the NFL. Becker is big and makes some plays, decent hands. A...

Robert Saleh to the Titans per Schefty Another name the Steelers didn't have on their priority list. Even with TEN teams needing a new HC this offseason, this couldn't be falling much better for your Pittsburgh Steelers. I do however think that there will be a logjam of remaining teams hoping to la...

The Rooneys are not going to hire a white head coach.

I think they absolutely are going to hire a white dude, and I'd put money on it. It sure looks like the announced interviews were cover for hiring a white dude.

The idea of firing McDermott and hiring Tomlin is like firing Rodgers and signing Stroud, if Stroud played for 19 years like he did yesterday. Actually, you guys are missing that this is nearly the exact situation Tomlin took over in 2007. I would actually say Tomlin has the best chance of the retr...

so now we have to hallucinate that Cook didn't have possession before and during the time he hit the ground to justify an obvious error BTW bad refereeing is going to lead to the Steelers having a far tougher schedule next year conversely the Bears should be pissed that it wasn't an INT if the Bill...

if Benton gets to play in a 4-3 as a 3-tech, I think he'd be great.

From Dulac today I just read Udinski is 30. I know Trevor Lawrence loves him, and he does seem to have made an immediate impact on Trevor's game, but damn that's young- is he also thought of as a leader of men? Not saying he can't be- just wondering. 30 definitely young and an un-Art like gamble Se...

The eight candidates for whom the Steelers requested interviews is not the final list. They are expected to add three or four more names, per sources. From Dulac today I just read Udinski is 30.

Damnit you beat me to it, @Greeksteel

You may have to trade up for your Rocket.

You might as well stop rooting for the Flyers in any game vs the Pens as long as Sid and I suppose Geno too are retired. I think Sid could get up off his deathbed and get a point or two vs the Flyers.

I get the feeling they are going to go longer than this friday for first round interviews. They have only just begun to look. I won't beleive they are done until they either announce they are interviewing Udinski or he takes another job. He is a very weird omission from the list so far, so either t...

Securing your offense via HC is the clear path forward for anyone who has been paying attention which is why Rooney interviews all DCs. The league goes in cycles and swings back-and-forth. So it COULD actually be forward-thinking looking for innovation on the defensive side of the ball. Only thing ...

Rooney is a known problem, but he’s 71 and will be retired or dead soon enough. Hopefully the next Dan Rooney is young, bright and aggressive. As far as the defense goes, nickel is every teams real base defense now because of the pass heavy schemes. Teams like the Rams and Steelers have countered t...

Shula as HC and Scheelhaase as OC could be a good combo. Or vice versa No- you don't jump from passing game coordinator to head coach...yuo can't trust that. I'd be fine with this combo...give Scheelhaase his break as OC. We don't have a franchise QB yet so what success we are going to have on offe...

This part doesn’t matter. It’s in place until the original contract would have expired. I think technically it’s two more years remaining. It absolutely does matter. Also, he can't be under contract for an option year not exercised. This happened far too quickly for it to be anything other than voi...

The Steelers will get compensation in whatever year he comes back. If Tomlin comes back 20 years from now, the Steelers would still be due compensation. I think it's a bad assumption his contract hasn't been voided. My guess is Tomlin was allowed to "resign", and in exchange PIT was released from t...

Shefter couldn't have been more, emphatic, repeatedly, coming back at orlovsky on NFL Live, that Tomlin will NOT coach in 2026. And just part of that was the compensation that would be the Steelers.

Some things I think about this, given a day: 1. I think Tomlin will coach in 2026, just somewhere else. Vegas is as good a choice as anywhere. Just not sure if Raiders want him. Any New York job would also be in play. 2. I've been digging through the potential candidates and I've really zeroed in o...

This blowout loss despite the 30-6 final, was different from the others where the Steelers were down by multiple scores in the first quarter. This was 7-6, on the final play of the third quarter, with Texans facing a3 and 15 from their 18 yard line. Those of us, who weren't reading for a Steeler lo...

FFS, Cam Heyward and Watt aren't leeches. Heyward is one my favorite Steelers. He got better with age to the point he was arguably the best dlineman in the NFL this season. Watt got the injury bug and hasn't been the same since. He still has value, and Steelers can get a an early 3rd or a late 2nd ...

Khan really fucked up with these white elephant contracts Agreed. I think those contracts had a lot to do with Tomlin, and not Khan, but that’s just a guess. Giving Watt that huge raise was just bad business, and a bean counter like khan wouldn’t agree to that unless he was an idiot (which is possi...

That person who reported that a long time" coach was considering moving on says it was Tomlin that they were talking about, not Harbaugh. They claim that Tomlin thought about stepping down prior to the season because he didn't feel respected or appreciated by a segment of the city's fanbase. Was of...

Can’t cut some players due to their contracts. The dead money would kill this team’s cap for several years. I want to immediately cut both heywards , Queen, j smith and trice. After firing art smith and allowing teryl Austin to exit the building. Example: Cutting Watt, Metcalf Heyward, Smith and Qu...
