Just heard on 93.7 The Fan that Danny Smith was hired by the TB Bucs.
Good luck Bubbles!
Hopefully Artie Smith is next. He has interviewed for the OC with both the LA Chargers and Detroit Lions.

I must have misunderstood their status. I thought the new head coach would have the option to retain before anyone got a crack at them.
 
It was reported that Art II had told all the coaches they were free to explore other opportunities.
That is odd that he wouldn’t have just allowed the new HC to make those decisions but I suppose they wanted to make sure they had jobs.
Artie Smith has been interviewing and I think Terrell Austin’s contract expired. Don’t know anything about the others.
 
Im telling you Tomlin will be in Tampa before 2027... he may sit out this season, but Tampa is where he ends up lol

Tge Rooneys always had a big say in initial coaching staffs, so they probably already know they want different values

I heard Austin is a candidate for door greeter at WalMart but may lose out to a retired banker from Palm Springs. Schefter looking into it….

I hear he got got turned down for their undercover security job, as they weren’t confident he could stop a 80 year old amputee on the way out with an unpaid tube of fixodent.
 
Danny Smith is going after the guiness record .... moving to Tampa will assist in this endeavour ........ Tomlin can no longer hold him back from achieving what he was born to do

The Steelers released ALL coaching personnel to explore other options.

Good riddance on bubbles, easily replaced.

Each coach that leaves is one less contract to pay, if new HC would fire them.

Smart move as none should be retained anyways, A.Smith being the only optional.

I liked Smith. We were pretty good at blocking / making kicks. Our punters have not been great, but not sure how much say Smith has in who we keep. Return guys have also not been great, but again not sure how much say so Smith has in who we put out there

Whether it was Tomlin or Smith, I hope the Steelers don't dedicate 20% of the roster to special teamers anymore.

that is my concern as well. Bubbles got 1-3 dedicated Special tream players and yet could never aquire a true return man. Constantly had players out of position and no practiced back up plan should some one go down.

Should be able to replace him with no problem.
