Chris Shula turned down an interview with the Browns
I would go Klint Kubiak............
or another offensive mind.

But I think Shula is the leading candidate
from a Steelers viewpoint, young, DC............
betting money is on Shula.
i think shula is the wrong color.

Scheftty reporting Mike McCarthy getting an interview

Yinzer for the yinzers
I've been a fan since 69-70.

Mike McCarthy being hired would end that fandom.
Yep

That would be a beyond depressing hire

The very thought of reuniting McCarthy with Rodgers just shows the depths Art is willing to stoop to continue his beloved NHALS

Steelers will talk to former Packers coach Mike McCarthy and have a second in-person interview with Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores this week as they search for Mike Tomlin's replacement, per sources.

I’ve talked myself into Shula but it looks like Mike McCarthy is the “whew it could’ve been much worse” ringer to clear the runway for Art to hire Flores.

Glad to be wrong, but please, no.

They also decide before interviewing Klint, would be almost criminal.

I can see that side of it.

I could also see a side where this is a team ripe for offensive identity, consistency, and direction versus one that has been set in stone (as far as everyone on the same page, etc.), and with personnel especially.


But that Rooney factor.....ugh.

Ditto
And bringing back Aaron Rodger’s would come close
Both of them would end my interest in football all together
Ditto. I'd be out. Just go with my home team Rams

I completely disagree. This is the premier coaching spot in all of sports. Where are you going to get the security and support you do here? There's 55 years of proof of that. Needing to tweak or even rebuild the roster won't scare away any offensive mind worth a damn. The Kubiaks got a hell of a lot out of two QBs that were run out of town by more than one team. Their confidence in winning with the Steelers will not be a problem.
Howard Griffith had to resort to chop-blocking him during the 1997 AFC Championship Game. An incredulous Kirkland asked Griffith, “Why do you have to use cheap tactics like chop-blocking?” Griffith replied “Why do you have to be a 300-pound linebacker?”

No way


You may have an owner that is patient, but he’s also hopelessly lost when it comes to football


He’s seriously passive aggressive, cowardly, and doesn’t want to make decisions


Remember AR2 is the problem. Tomlin being coach for at least a decade longer than he should have been, is the symptom

AR2s clock is ticking. He should cede full control soon

Best to set up based on Danny’s

Dan gave the mgt over to Art 2 in 2002. When he was 69

Art 2 is now 72. It’s time to move the seats

I get that - but if the generations follow as they have for 90 years then we should be in a better place with Danny

I don't understand the 2nd interview for Flores. No one else is showing that much interest in him. He can run a good D, but he does not instill confidence in me. His OC hires in Miami were dogshit.

I have to think Shula would have gotten a 2nd by now, but he's busy.

I am hopeful that the interviewing of Flores and McCarthy are serving to get veteran coaching perspective of the roster and maybe assess their interest as coordinators


You know if Art hires a super green HC, you have to figure he’s going to control the hiring of the coordinators

Just a wild guess

What is the Steelers facination with Flores. His 24-25 record going 5-11,10-6, and 9-8 really doesn’t excite me at all.
I sure hope Dick face didn't recommend Rooney to hire him.

Maybe I’m jaded, but I have no trust in this organization.
The interview process is optics. Just like it was always gonna be Khan when the GM job came open, they knew the minute Tomlin was let go who they wanted as successor, and I believe that guy is Flores. We’ll see.
