you could get the whole bunch for probably 200k. I call that a bargain..
Next year's coach?
- Thread starter Djfan
- Start date
Hire coach and put him on permanent scout team RB
Can you imagine James Harrison coaching on the sidelines? He’d have to be a player coach. There’s no doubt in my mind there’d be a couple forearm shivers thrown from the sidelines. He’d be the most fined coach in the history of the game.
wouldnt you?

Bienemy would not shock me at all with Rooney running the show. What an underwhelming sh*t-hire that would be.
Annybody that has that guy at the top of their list has their own selfish wants ahead of the Steelers.

I sure hope so. Of course this is hypothetical and based on the idea that he would want to leave Buffalo.
The only thing the Steelers have to offer at this point that is attractive is the fact that any guy who signs here will have plenty of time to build what he wants to build without the pressure of possibly being terminated.
thanks.

I'm thinking considering this younger generation that it would go like this:Can you imagine James Harrison coaching on the sidelines? He’d have to be a player coach.

I would take Dallas's OC. There must be a reason Bieniemy never got a shot. He is not even an OC right now. Whoever we hire should not be a dinosaur and be aggressive on both sides of the ball. We also need someone to ditch our terrible blocking scheme. Our players are finally starting to call out scheme so hopefully it doesn't fall on deaf ears

When Cowher held back from clocking that Jag on the blocked FG, Deebo would have done itCan you imagine James Harrison coaching on the sidelines? He’d have to be a player coach.

I listed a bunch of candidates I’d consider in another thread, but I think Mike LaFleur would be my top choice. Give me someone off McVay’s coaching tree.
Ok lets see... from several angles:
I dont like bringing college coaches in to the pros... they have an insane catastrophic fail rate, but if you had to, Id look at Marcus Freeman from Notre Dame.
He has traits you'd think would translate far better than most.
As for Pro coaches
The retread:
Kliff Kingsbury, current Washington OC, Ex Arizona coach... offebsive whiz, good with QB development. Only 46
The pittsburgh connection retread
Mike McCarthy- he is 62. He wont be coaching for more than 8-10 years tops.... most likely like five.. the only way he gets hired is if you need a guy to find abd develop your next franchise QB and you dont trust a younger guy available
The ex Steeler:
How about Antwaan Randel El... assistant head coach in Chicago and Art Rooney2 favorite?
The hot offensive coordinator - Joe Brady from the Bills... he will almost certainly get a gig this year
The too young OC
29 year old Declan Doyle. People think he is going to be a star soon
The cowheresque defensive coordinator -
Anthony campanile DC Jags
The Defensive guy with too many icky Harbaugh connections
Jesse Minter DC chargers
The Pedigree guy
Klint Kubiak. His dad was an impactful coach in the NFL, who's blocking schemes changed the way run games worked...
The in house option:
The combo Special: Brian Flores... probably the strongest candidate... ex Steelers coach, only 44, has previous coaching experience, a defensive guy like the Rooneys like..,
Im sure there are more... Thats just from the stuff i looked at earlier this season, lol

I definitely am on board with this guy.
I also will throw in the hat Klint Kubiak.

I like those two the most. Kubiak is interesting, too.

Joe Lombardi
You may have cracked the code to what we’ve been missing
I’ll take 18 straight Lombardis
What will we ***** about then?
Has he had a shot at HC anywhere??? It's not selfish - he a great offensively minded coach. And, has a SB ring.
But let's throw Cooter in at HC... yaaaay!!!
I agree. And, to be clear, I threw his name out there BECAUSE he never got a shot.
KC's offense was dynamic when he was there; but some here think I'm suggesting him because of the hue of his skin. They're wrong...
Agreed!
But he could be crazy to leave South Bend for Pittsburgh.
He would need to be offered a boat load of money to even think about it..
I like Hoge and even possibly Jon Gruden, but I really haven't thought about it too much.
If the Steelers and Tomlin come to an agreement to cut what is owed to Tomlin, then they might do something after this season. If not, he will be here until at least the end of his current contract.
