While Mendoza won the Heisman and put up very good numbers, and did what was necessary to pull out a win in a tough contest, people forget how good Rourke looked in that offense last season.

Doubt they'd do it, but leaves a nice opportunity to let the new coach discuss a candidate he'd be comfortable with. The Rams have been doing a lot with a little from a draft standpoint for a few years, for instance, considering their reported interest in Shula. But we all know it's going to be Kevi...

he filed a lawsuit. So, he has no desire to be a top 100 pick? A 6th year would make him, what, 25 years old by the summer of 2027? Who knows what he’s thinking. But if I were an NFL GM, this would certainly raise my eyebrow. Between the running QB who's going to be 4 years younger than Lamar is ri...

Chambliss will be QBing Ole Miss in 2026, but I enjoyed the read.

Lost his appeal on his 6th year a week or two ago.

Apparently, McDaniel would rather be the Chargers' OC than the Browns' HC... canceled his in person interview with them.

Good info. We're finally at a point where our snarky "in the hands of a creative coordinator..." comments might no longer be so snarky, so it's time for me to look at some of these chess pieces with renewed interest after 19 short years. I'm sure B2B is thoroughly capable of throwing cold water on h...

Thoughts on Zachariah Branch from your Dawgs as a later-round fallback if Lemon is ungettable? Or are we saying we already have Calvin Austin at home on that one?

I think the question becomes, could current day, living fully in his fears Tomlin summon up 19 years ago Tomlin for a couple of years? I'm not sure I'd bet the house on it if I were Buffalo, which is exactly what they'd be doing.

He's a good choice. Won a Natty as a co-DC for the Buckeyes under Coach Meyer, took over and made a little noise at BC, and done well as an assistant and DC at the NFL level. Personality-wise, he's definitely not Mike McDaniel.

I'm going to hope it's due diligence, biding their time until Rams v Squawks concludes on Sunday night, and the Super Bowl bye week interview window opens up.

Kubiak interview announced. Plot thickens

I’m seeing both Klint and Klay Kubiak being linked to Pittsburgh now

Klint hiring his brother to be OC would be interesting

The Kubiak Brothers Band?

Hadn’t seen that, encouraging!

And it's the other Kubiak.

...and the organization is being purged completely from the foul stench of Tomlin’s sycophantic coaching staff, can we finally purge these shit jerseys and go back to the block numbers? It’s a perfect time to reset everything. New block jerseys will disconnect next years team visually from the Toml...

Hose that fuckin place down.

Bleach it. Hose it down. And get a Priest in there to cleanse it afterwards.

Apparently they know a guy... brings his own holy water.

Every day I walk by five Lombardi Trophies, not five rushing titles This was a quote he really devalued a few years later when he did everything possible to get AB the record for 5 and 50. He was such a BS artist. He didn't even buy into the things he would say. Just brought this up yesterday with ...

He's a lawyer, but he's also a company man and all about appearances. He'd probably sign off on Flores as DC pretty easily, as the Vikes have already given him optics cover to do so, though. HC? I don't know.

Well said. If he's the guy, he's the guy, and he'll figure offensive side out.

Nobody else can't wait to hear Pittsburgh Dad pronounce Scheelhaase? He works on every level. Do it, Artoo. Don't think Flores as a DC is happening. He's already a DC, so it's a lateral move, and if FHCMT's fragile ego was bruised on the way out, he's probably petty enough to be poisoning the well w...

If we get a creative offensive mind in the building who knows a guy he can hire to develop a QB, Chambliss (lost his appeal) or Green to develop might be an interesting place to go this year.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear Dan will be sitting in on the interviews. Not exactly sure what Khan contributes to the proceedings from a football standpoint, though. Anp is right, it'd probably be better if Weidl was representing the GM's office in that capacity.

Age disqualifies Cig, unfortunately. Having him coaching the Steelers and getting him out of the B1G would be a nice one-two punch.

I mean, Tomlin gave Lake his start in coaching, a pretty cool opportunity for a very good and occasionally great Steeler whose playing career predated Tomlin's tenure with the team. I can see why he'd be emotional, and I can understand why he'd have good things to say. Nothing wrong with that. Also,...

Can I say how much I'm looking forward to the Board Mock this year?

Truly one of God's special people.

Living in Delaware, amongst mostly Philly fans and a few casual Steeler fans, lot of folks were actually checking in to see if I was bummed out over this, and were visibly surprised to see how happy I was. One of the few colleagues I actually get together and watch games and talk sports with outside...

I like the trio of

Robert Saleh HC
Mike McDaniel OC
Anthony Weaver DC

You hit the Rooney Rule Triple Lindy

Great movie! Was just referencing it yesterday with Vonnegut writing the paper on Vonnegut.

Today potentially changes the math on the premise a little bit.
