Potential Asst. OL Coaches Turn Down Job Offers Because Of Canada?

It's time to move on from Tomlin, appreciate what he has done and bring in some new life and different ideas.
Better bring on new ownership too. I'm having a hard time understanding why folks can't see that ARll won't let coordinators and assistants be fired until their two year contract is up. He doesn't want to pay them for not being on staff. So, Canada was always going to get 2 years. Klemm was let go because he found a job and quit. Art doesn't have to pay him a dime.

Ok... But why are we always scrapping the bottom of the barrel to find what's below it so that can be hired.

"Always" is a bit of an exaggeration too. We had good to great offenses during Haley's tenure. Top notch assistants including Munch. On Defense they improved to be one of the top defenses in the league prior to this injury filled year. You don't get that with bottom of the barrel coaches. Now, if you were to say, "Where are the young, up and coming, innovative assistants instead of having a bunch of retreads?" .... Yeah, I could see that.
 
Hank Fraley is Detroit's offensive line coach. He wasn't going to take a demotion to come to the Steelers.
Taking the same job isn't a demotion. He’s a Robert Morris alum.

He’s offensive line coach. The Steelers are looking for an assistant offensive line coach. That is not the same job. It’s a demotion.
 
I think the more obvious reason is Canada won’t be there next season coaches hate moving to a city then packing up leaving again… everyone knows Canada is but a crappy journeyman but tomlin sad… I wish the browns, bengals, or ravens had him

Ya Steelers are famous for being tightwads when it comes to hiring coaches… problem now is… the distribution of talent in the nfl is at an all time high… the only place to gain advantage is coaching… look at the shanahan coaching tree… these guy have raised the bar on offense and even defense. Only way Steelers get to next level is improving the coaching and Rooney’s just too cheap. mediocre coaches don’t win superbowls unless they are handed a Super Bowl team.

Yeah retreads that would be one way to say it
 
What we need are more Matt Canada bashing threads. Amazing that such an *** hat retains such a premium job when anyone with one good eye can see that mutha is way outta his league. He makes MT look like Vince Lombardi he’s sooo inept.

I’m pretty certain the only reason he has a job is as a smoke screen/shield to keep the one good eye off the Cool Shaded man. Kinda a scape goat in waiting for execution…I can’t think of one other legitimate reason he’s still employed.

1. It is what it is. I didn't write Lolley's article, just shared the news.
2. If you think of anything, please let the rest of us know.
 
I was being serious Buckeye, 😂

His level of suck is not quite on par with the number of complaint threads about him, when a QB is drawing up plays in the dirt and is more effective than a guy who has all week to plan it really says all ya need to know. His coaching is somewhere below the line of school yard “run out there and get open” plays.

Where could we ever find a coach to replace that depth of expertise? I’d wager at least 50-75% of the regular posters on this board would be more effective.

My bad. Internet still doesn't express context real well.
In that case, you are absolutely right. Canada must go!
 
What’s funny Buckeye is that when I post something I think is obviously sarcastic people take me seriously all the time…totally get it (the context thing). This is one of those rare reverse situations.

I know Flores is a defensive guy, but with his knowledge of defensive ball I’m 100% certain he too would be a better OC…hell I’d go with the **** flingin monkey if we had 1
