Khan extended through 2028

What a relief. I was afraid some other organization was going to swoop in and snag him and his zero playoff wins.

He truly is the Khan Artist.

[CKSteeler]

Mediocre Khan doesn't have the same ring to it, but sums things up. Some of his moves feel like making moves for the sake of it. It's just spinning wheels instead of making any real impact and outside rebuilding the lines and stockpiling picks for next year, there aint much of a plan from this leadership group.

Why bother with 3 year contract extensions, anyway? Just lock them up for life with promised pay bumps every few years and be done with it.

They absolutely do.

K-H-A-N (not Kahn...AND... it's R-O-D-G-E-R-S not Rogers...GEE-ZUS) doesn't wipe his ass with out Cool Shades' say so. Does K-H-A-N's 3 year extension mean that T-O-M-L-I-N (as opposed to "YOU SUCK," Tomlin) will be head coach of my once beloved Pittsburgh Steelers for another 3...THREE...years??? OR (less likely) does T-O-M-L-I-N move on with his life's work and K-H-A-N (IT"S NOT FUCKING K-A-H-N....Gee-zus!!!1) gets to pick his very own head coach (assuming the next Rooney doesn't swoop in at some point...hopefully sooner rather later)?

I am ok with Khan Extension and looking forward to what his plan of attack is with the 2026 Draft. But I am kinda disappointed that we are going into another year without a solid WR to play opposite DK. We can’t have a repeat of 2024. He also needs to find another body to help in the back end. There 3 safeties that are still FA and could help imo. The other main concern is ther is No Quality Depth at the tackle Spot

[Gonzo]

I don’t dislike khan …yet
But not sure why anyone is getting a extension
0-6 … 148-232
I know not all his … but no one should get nothing until ….

I like extending Khan. I think his drafts have potential; he’s made some good free agent signings; he traded Claypool for Porter; and he shrewdly manages the cap.

[Steelafan77]

I’m a fan of this move. Khan has been instrumental in the development of the current roster.

In spite of the failed development of the roster by our coveted NHALS staff.

Khan continues to add and in some cases additions by subtraction, talents that we all used to pound the table for in years passed.

I agree with the ‘No One’ should be looking at being extended until….. that being applied to coaching staff only IMO.

I think Khan and Weidl have proven themselves as invaluable and have done a great service to Steelers’ fans despite this franchise issues.

That said, No one’s perfect. The team of Khan/Weidl is a great marriage of football savvy I’m happy for going forward.

I like Kahn alot. I already like him better than Cobert & I think Colbert was closer to Hall of Fame caliber than he was mediocre. The minute Kahn took over, he came in kicking ass & taking names. Almost all his drafts, trades & signings have been Super Bowl roster directed moves & almost all have been celebrated by Yinzers & this board.

However, if Kahn doesn't have the know it all or the smarts to see what is tearing down this franchises legacy & history or have the balls to stand up to Tomlin & hire Tomlins coaching staff & coordinators for him, then the hell with him. I don't care how good he is at CAP mgmt or team or player evaluation. If he can't over- ride Tomlin & his coaching debacle hires, then he needs to be shown the door along with Tomlin & the entire staff. He HAS to see this team is in DESPERATE need of positional/situational football knowledge & instruction. MY god, we haven't had a single player who has been on a ascending talent level in years. Not a single player. They have all been better "day one" than they are the longer they are around the staff hires off the discount racks.

If Kahn hired Tomlins staff at the similar level of his roster moves, he'd be heading toward legendary GM status. He needs to stop with the Tomlin kid gloves or "love fest" and General Manage with some fucking huge balls. Push Tomlin to the side & hire a fucking ALL PRO staff, then direct Tomlin to manage the team but get out of the way & let them do their jobs.

Bring back Steeler rosters with 53 ascending players during draft evals. Not the talent declining roster of the last 6 or 7 years. For a team that has NO franchise QB, you'd think a good GM would hire a fucking QB guru coach for the team. WHO THE FUCK is the QB guru &/or evaluator, or has been since the Ficktner days???? Fucking Moe, Larry, Curly & Shemp.

I like what Khan has done. He’s been very proactive in trying to overcome our painfully obvious deficiencies in developing talent. You can argue some of those signings haven’t worked out, or haven’t been worth the cap hits they incur, and I wouldn’t disagree with some of those. But that’s what happens you have to overcompensate for a coaching staff that can’t develop draft picks to save their lives.

I think that judging him purely by wins/losses ignores the Tomlin factor.

[steelmann58]

Khan is not perfect but think he has helped this team.

[Dan Smith--BYU]

Give the man credit, even if this shits the bed, they will be entertaining and put asses in seats.

[Thrillsseeker]

KHAN has been great. Best drafts we’ve hauled in soooo long.

Tomlin is a Fraud and will be gone soon enough. Rooney has got to go when the Fraud goes.

[.Kodiak]

Kahn is just a deal guy. Weidle tells him who to get, and Khan sets a budget and tries to make it happen.

Agreed.

While Khan hasn't procured Prime Beef all the time, he certainly isn't getting moldy ground beef either. The ingredients are present for a decent meal, but Tomlin isn't able to cook anything beyond Ramen and microwave popcorn.

I think by any stretch Khan has knocked it out of the park.

First, he has been great at drafting players to fit the system we are deploying. Nearly all of the players that he and Weidl drafted are still with the team and giving productive snaps. Even the late round reaches and UDFAs are turning up some uncut gemstones. Mason MCormick, Spencer Anderson and Ben Skowronek come to mind and I'm taking flyers on Corey Trice and Logan Lee.

He has also built up draft capital to move up and snag a stud in the next (allegedly) QB rich draft, drafted a solid backup for him this year while keeping the team relevant in the present and leaving tons of cap to work with next year. They are using all tools available including major trades which this team has been basically allergic to for decades.

This FO does not dwell too long on malcontents or bad fits and is not afraid to move on from Colbert's draft whiffs, or even their own mistakes. (Pickett, Harris, Pickens). They are rebuilding the LB core, DL and OL through the draft and spending premium picks on those players.

In every way I respect the job both him and Weidl have done and we are lucky to have them both. They. Are. NOT. The. Problem.

Hard to say that Khan has done an unequivocal great job with Brod Jones still being a big question mark. If Jones proves to be a bust, that's a big ding against Khan, particularly since they traded up to take Brod.

[CKSteeler]

Has Kahn added a single All-Pro to this roster? Maybe a future center, if we're lucky?

I'm not writing him off or calling for his head. The fellating going on in this thread is ridiculous to me. He's pumped a bunch of picks into the OL which remains a huge question mark heading into year 3. He traded up to draft a tackle who so far looks like a lazy bust. His other tackle prospect has had multiple knee injuries going back to college (and I'm actually optimistic about him compared to most and his linemate Broderick Jones).

His best drafted player is Joey Porter Jr. who remains...above average so far? Hardly a lock down corner.

Then there's the free agency whiffs that people don't want to mention.

He's found value and acquired draft capital. But I've seen little in terms of talent acquisition that makes me think this regime is going to identify the right guys to make those picks matter.

How many times did the Browns end up with multiple first rounders only to pick the wrong guys?

[Steelafan77]

I think there are several players Khan has drafted that have that potential.

Seriously, what has this coaching staff done with any talent Khan has brought in? Even the F/A talent has underwhelmed.

Have they developed any talent? Or just run it in the ground and worse while playing it out position? Or just allow for Stagnation?

It’s Not Khan’s job to further develop the talent. Khan’s job is to identify it and get in the clubhouse.

Coaching up that talent to success is a completely different job.

Has this staff developed an All Pro in the past 10-15 years? Cam and Watt were going to be this good regardless of any coaching. You could argue they could have been BETTER with different coaches/organization.
