And going and going and going.

Sometimes you poke the bear and then they poke back.🤭

I said maybe, chief. But it wouldn't surprise me, put it that way.

It does offer an explanation as to why you were so seemingly butthurt about my first post. That was the only moderately offensive (or more specifically silly woke-triggering) thing I said in that entire lengthy post. But whatever floats your boat.

McCarthy sucks! Yay! Carry the **** on.

Not your one post your posting in general. You are the dig at others type to try to make yourself look smarter. I don’t like your style I don’t like you.

Yeah I am the fruitpie but you want someone to go back and read your posts in a desperate attempt to vindicate your bullshit.🤭

Ok fruitpop I will carry on , you keep carrying Magic Mike’s **** in your mouth. Tell us how good it tastes.

This was sarcasm at no cap. I didnt say this.

Sarcasm why? The Steelers do typically have smaller coaching staffs then other teams and reportedly one of the lower paid staffs . What about that statement warrants sarcasm??

Well, according to Poni, who I don’t honestly trust, Shula bombed the interview. It would explain a lot and it is what I was suspecting. Now Poni could be completely full of **** on this source but it makes absolute sense. Which is unusual for him.

As I suspected Poni just made it up. Fans should never ever believe anything Poni says.

So if Shula didn’t bomb it is a safe assumption they never intended to hire anyone else.

Mike Tomlin and Sean McDermott are also about to be out of work for a year.

Yes. Tomlin by his own choice. McDermott still has a chance, as there are openings. Ultimately, if these coaches are truly worth it, they won’t be out of work for a year, one of the teams in need will snatch them up; the same process that happens in the standard working world. Superstars are never without work, unless it’s by choice.

I'm not sure Demoff proves anything to the contrary. In a way, I think he supports Poni's source (which is rarely correct). It is a built in excuse for why he didn't perform well.

"...you should examine a process that has coaches having the biggest job interviews of their life crammed into an hour the day before a playoff game."

Shula is down to either the Raiders or Cardinals and the Raiders seem set on one of the offensive coordinators. If you're a top candidate, someone would take a chance--or every team in this hiring cycle was clueless.

In fairness to Shula, he withdrew his name from one of the jobs.

He was also competing in this cycle against highly sought-after veteran coaches like Harbaugh and Stefanski at a time when he personally had to be primarily focused on getting the Rams to the Superbowl as opposed to landing one of the jobs.

Several teams chose to go "experience" with their hire, and the Steelers were no exception.

How many had "Robert Saleh Titans HC" on their bingo cards?

We'll see what ultimately happens, but had the Rams been eliminated by the wildcard round, things might have turned differently for Shula and Scheelhass.
 
Noll was stoic. Cowher more flamboyant. Tomlin also flamboyant.
Maybe Art wants another crack at a more stoic coach.

That's been the new rage this cycle when guys know they aren't getting the job.
 
If nothing else, this job is meaningful to Mike McCarthy. He was crying within the first 10 seconds of his PC.

Notice Dan Rooney Jr in one of the images.

He reportedly sat in with his father and Omar on all the interviews.

Curious how much influence he might have had on the McCarthy hire, with all the frustration around it being directed at pops.

It's one of the reasons I'm cautiously optimistic about the hire.

He sincerely wants to coach the Steelers, and may approach the job with the energy of a younger coach as result.
