Steelers request interview with LA Rams for potential new OC

[steelhurt]

The team contacted the LA Rams to interview passing coordinator Zac Robinson for their new OC.
And so it begins! That’s certainly outside the organization.

Robinson has ties to Rudolph. Both went to Oklahoma State. Also, Robinson trained Rudolph for the draft and Rudolph lived with him during that time.

I read that earlier Buckeye. Very interesting! He also will interview with the Raiders I read.

Wonder if that means they will try hard to resign Rudy.

Who knows? I thought it was intersting though.

 

[slashsteel]

Have to read up on him don't know a lot about him.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

hey coolie maybe you should merge this thread with bermws oC thread.... **** you

 

[slashsteel]

Looks like there is a decent amount of interest from other teams...

Wow... interesting. Makes you think it's possible they are thinking they make Mason QB 1 if he stays. Maybe they are trying to sweeten the pot to get him to stay.

Bad side of that is it could mean they won't be looking for a vet QB

I would guess that is a part plan should Robinson sign on. It would also sweeten Rudy’s position of trust for level competition.

Might just have the opposite effect with Kenny though. I think I'd prefer that both start with someone they haven't worked with in the past and may the best man win.

I don’t care either way, I just want the best OC that we can get. Like it or not, Rudy is already facing an uphill battle on the fair competition aspect of things.

I’m no expert, but I have a feeling Rudy is exploring all “away” options possible. I think he played into a chance for some decent offers.

I wouldn’t break the bank as it looks like there will be a whole new offensive scheme (if FO has said hands off to Coach Tomlin). I also thin retaining Rudy is a great option to see not only what he has but to also determine Kenny’s future as well.

This is already more encouraging than the previous OC search.

 

[steelhurt]

Yep! This is encouraging! Art II must do this right or we will fall even further behind the pack.

Interesting fact: Zac Robinson was a coach on a team that won 4 playoff games in 2021, which is 1 more postseason victory than Tomlin has procured in the last 13 years.

Robinson had the 10th best passing offense in the NFL this year, for what it's worth.

Raiders, Pat** and Steelers. Three teams with unsettled QB situations for a guy that is a young passing guru. If I'm him, I'd welcome the opportunity to be an OC .. But, damn, can you give me something to work with?

Did he attend William and Mary? Did his mom drive on the Pennsylvania turnpike once? Come on man. There has to be a pittsburgh connection or something tied to Tomlin.

The Steelers job should be the most attractive. Already a winner, better coaching stability. Of course money could be a deciding factor as well.

 

[TDX27]

I still don't see them offering Rudolph more than Trubisky was making to be QB2 with some large incentives if he plays more like QB1. I lived in OKC when Rudolph and Mayfield were there. I thought both were very good. Mayfield appears to finally be coming into his own with a new potential contract worth $40 to $45 million per. Rudolph had a great arm and threw a lot of long bombs in college. I still think he has another gear left in him that the right OC can bring out. It will be interesting to see if there is a true competition at QB or if they still put KP ahead since he was a 1st round pick. Tomlin never likes to admit he's wrong.

 

[Drink IRON City]

A lot can change for both QBs. Should Rudy stay, like TDX27 says, he may hit that “HIGH” gear. I also think Rudy will get an offer once he has explored outside options. STEELERS will come in close to that.

Kenny will greatly benefit from a QB guru. Those happy feet will need outside help and possibly Robinson may be that help.

Peter King says the Steelers will speak with Kliff Kingsbury for their open OC position.

I think this may be the most spot on thing I've seen from you on the board.
Not saying you don't get things spot on ... But, this? This is correct on so many levels.
