We made a smart move!

**** yeah

I did not see this coming after we named a new DC. He will be the DC in waiting.

 

[SteelerFan448]

Terrific hire. I love having former head coaches on staff and now the Steelers have one as a positional coach.

 

[Buster]

I find this disappointing. He should be head coach.

I find this disappointing. He should be head coach.

I like your way of thinking and you never know........... what may transpire in the next three years.............................. !!!




Salute the nation

Berm is about to pop champagne!!!

 

[Litos]

ok this is Huge, now we might have a decent Defense there between him and Austin's DBs knowledge. He might even be the heir apparent for when Tomlin decides to retire to a broadcasting booth

he will be the HC in waiting

I really hope they can work well together and Tomlin finally grows as a HC. Great hire.

I'm back drinking the Koolaid.

Hopefully the HC in waiting

Hopefully the HC in waiting

Is it possible that this could happen sooner than later if Tomlin takes over for Colbert.

 

[Shane Falco]

Just when you want to tank the season…

Throw out political, racial, and lawsuit discussions. From a pure football standpoint, I like this for Steelers.

 

[BLITZ]

Not only is it awesome for the team this year, but if he gets hired as a HC next year we get 2 3rd round picks I believe

 

[JP1977]

Wonder what Minka thinks about it ?

Then why even bring that **** up?

 

[SteelerSask2]

Great move. Though I agree with HC wasn't happening. DC is another story though. That should have happened.

 

[SteelBuckeye]

In two years, when they fire Austin and name Flores DC, some folks will surely be complaining about it being an in-house hire.

That's why I think this is just an entry level position to fast track him to HC.

Interesting how they got Flores in for the interview and no one knew. Why did he not get an interview for defensive coordinator? Right or wrong move we will see, now we will have with the draft and training camp a bombardment of press.

 

[bkwheat28]

I meant nothing by it. I know those are going to be talking points. I was implying it was a good football move for the team. By saying those shouldn’t matter, I realize now Im the one who inadvertently brought them up. Good point, I agree.

Wonder what Minka thinks about it ?

Minkah is happy with Austin so no problem there

 

[bermudasteel]

Wonder what Minka thinks about it ?

Well, Minkah, we'll be fine. I don't know who Minka is though...

If he was our defensive coordinator Flores could accuse Tomlin of racism for not letting him call the plays, might be the only way Tomlin could get fired, a win/win
