Steeler known interview lists

[Greeksteel]

Rooney rule states teams have to have two in person interviews with black coaches. Weaver and Flores. Check.

Wasn't there a blurb a few years back about Flores being the go-to interview to satisfy the Rooney Rule?

[Dan Smith--BYU]

interview McDermott

that makes more sense than Bills seeking Tomlin

[Steeldrama]

Another week to wait for Shula. Scheelhaase, Klint Kubiak...
I think the Steelers can wait

Meanwhile the Browns are doing 2nd interviews including Los Angeles Rams pass game coordinator Nathan Scheelhaase, and Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski. Also Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken.

Yeah it’s all on the surface, but the Browns list of coaching interviews shits all over the Steelers in my humble estimation

I’m trying to let this all play out since history is not on the Browns’ side but I’m at the end of my jaded Steelers fandom rope. Just bracing myself for Art and his minions to fuck this hiring up.

Pssst “Art, wake up Art, your daytime soaps are over. Might want to get back to that coaching search now. Maybe put in a call to Sean McDermott and Joe Brady.”

“Ohhh I just had the most incredible dream with me, Mike, and Judge Judy…..”

“Ummm yeah melatonin and Baileys will do that to ya. Time to pick up the phone now Art”

“Nah we got a Pittsburgh fella and a couple black guys coming in we’re good. Wake me up for Law and Order. That Ice T fella is a hoot.”

Don’t forget Ejiro Evero

Man, I’m on pins and needles waiting for that rabbit to be pulled out of Art’s hat

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

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 land Klint Kubiak after he wins the Super Bowl.

It's going to be a sad day if they settle for a retread like Brian Flores or Mike McCarthy. I want it to be Shula but not getting my hopes up with the Rooney rule.....Shula is too melanin challenged.

I bet it's going to be Shula... 40-year-old defensive guy… Just looking at his bio didn't realize he played in Miami of Ohio right after Ben left and was teammates there with Sean McVay

[franco32]

Apparently McCarthy is a serious contender but I take all this reporting with a grain of salt. McCarthys only redeeming qualities are that he's an offensive coach and he's won a SB... But that came against Tomlin who was easing into that game.

To me worst case scenario is Weaver. McCarthy and Flores are tied for second worse scenario. Flores is a great DC but is toxic as hell and didn't know what he was doing hiring offensive coaches at Miami. BTW his lawsuit against the NFL is still going on so he's in active litigation. Exactly what we need.

Gotta pray that Art sees the light. Shula, Kubiak, Minter or Scheelhasse.

I am warming up to Shula.
Big thing if we go DC is that Shula has been around offensive minds, sits with these guys in meetings, films, eats drinks and sleeps football with the same mindset as McVey......

and he has been around all the guys from the coaching tree. He has scene, heard and digested from many minds - successful minds.
Been with McVey since McVey was hired.
Not only does he understand the offenses these guys run..........he understands how you need to defend these modern NFL offenses.

Been practicing his guys against the innovative minds of McVey and all his assistants, and against some pretty good talened offensive players.

I would imagine he not only knows the imporatance of having a modern NFL offense that McVey embraces.....
He has to see it as being vital for the success of any head coaching postion he takes on.

I am sure he has a pretty good idea about needing to bring in the right type of OC.
And if that OC is successful and moves on......he would have offensive assistants ready to step in to implement the plan

Bloodlines.
Been around NFL football since he could crawl.

I like Shula, but this actually works against him since his dad David and his uncle Mike are gawd awful football coaches

[Steeldrama]

1.) Giants= Johnny Harbs
2.) Falcons= Stefanski
3.) Dolphins=Jeff Hafley
4.) Titans= Robert Saleh
5.) Bills=
6.) Browns=
7.) Ravens=
8.) Raiders=
9.) Cardinals=
10.) Steelers=

By my gorilla math, I came up with 8 names (I like) and there are 6 remaining vacancies SO the Steelers SHOULD be fine slow rolling this whole coaching search thing.

Names I like in no particular order (feel free to add or subtract): Shula, Minter, Scheelhause, Klint and Klay Kubiak, Grant Udiniski, Davis Webb, and if I squint Mike Lafleur.

Sean McDermott? Joe Brady??

Sure. Why not

Perch through out Mike Shanahan's name the OC of the NATIONAL CHAMPION Hoosiers.

I've been pining for Cory Hetherman the DC of the 'Canes (Ideally as a DC candidate)

The Steelers aren't even interested in some of those guys (Udinski rumored to be Browns bound).

So

The question then becomes what coach will Art hire that will cause the most angst?

For me it’s firmly Mike McCarthy. Anthony Weaver? Headscratcher for sure. Maybe Steelers showing interest in him is just a way to bait the Ravens into hiring him. I can’t even say Elivro Evero because even after reading his bio I can honestly say I know nothing about that guy (other than he fits Art’s Rooney Rule priorities).

[jebrick]

I keep hearing Minter to the Ravens but we will see.

I really really hope the the McCarthy interview is just being nice and they really are not considering him as a HC.

[swissvale72]

On McCarthy..... Pittsburgh talk radio reporting that McCarthy had withdrawn his name from consideration for the Tennessee job, and has done so with other possibilities as well. So what does that mean?

[CKSteeler]

One line from the presser that could give you pause is Art II saying they wanted to find a guy with experience doing what they ask which I can only really take as meaning being a head coach before. Which definitely doesn't mesh with most of the interview list at all, but McCarthy would fit the bill. I guess Haffley who is now hired would have as well with his college head coach experience.

[bradshaw2ben]

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.

Shula would be better than some, but the team with him is likely to continue to be offense-challenged, trying to win with "Steelers football". These people act like the high-flying 1970s Steelers' offenses never existed.

I thought it was reported differently...that Mc Cathy withdrew, as well as from other jobs, and then TN hired Saleh

If they want to bring McCarthy in as a OC/QB coach then fine but please not as a HC

I'm fairly certain any coach they hire would probably have strong feelings about that so I'm not even OK with that move.

I think we have to consider the possibility that one or both of these guys might be coordinators on a Steelers' staff when the coach turns out to be another unproven name out of left field.

They might be interviewing coordinators at the same time as their head coach.

I'm not sure I like this idea either because I want a new coach to have input into his staff, but i do like the idea of surrounding a new unproven head coach with some vets on his staff.

[Jobu]

Shouldn’t the head coach have full autonomy over his staff?

[Steelperch]

Couple of ideas

Kubiak as HC with Flores as DC
Shula or Minter as HC with McCarthy or Scheelhaase as OC
Scheelhaase at HC with Flores as DC and McCarthy as OC

I also threw out hiring a Defensive guy like Shula and going to get Hoosiers OC Shanahan to pair with him. Couple of young innovative coaches would be a welcomed change!


Fuck if I know what they are thinking, but they need a strong OC/DC combo one way or another.

[Jizz Mop]

I want the coach who can spew the best word salad

Has to be able to say cool shit like:

Unleash hell in December

Things of that nature

Tip my hat

The standard is the standard

That will make it easier on me and a lot of other fans as we transition to an actual NFL coach

Any of those combinations would be swell

But we’ll get Anthony Weaver, Wink Martindale, and Josh fucking Grizzarrd and like it dammit

Shula was passing game coordinator for the Rams in 2022.

Of course their passing game was not all that in 2022.

If it means the Steelers are hiring him as head coach, then it means I will finally make my wife happy and shift my allegiance to the Eagles.

Permanently.

Because the team is headed back to the 1960s if he does that.
