What's the update on our OC search?
Tomlin says there will be changes to staff. Outside OC as well.

You don't want to know. They interviewed the Panthers ex OC today. Hire him and I am definitely taking a break. You know that same OC that had that last ranked offensive in the NFL. It stinks of more of Tomlin's like than anyone else...

Oh, dear God, you have to be kidding me. You have to be. Let's go find an OC that ranks the bottom of the list? Typical Tomlin, wanting another stooge to provide "yes man" coaching. Let me guess, this guy will provide all rushing and passes only 5 yards from scrimmage in fear of turnovers?
I dunno all I remember is every time I seen clips of the Panthers I was like WTF are they doing over there.

Deadlast in yards gained per game and dead last in passing yards, and this is who, in all their infinite wisdom, they are deciding to interview for the OC position. They were shut out their last 2 games of the season as well. Way to really go after the hot candidates there, Steelers. Great job.

To be fair, Carolina was a total train wreck and Frank Reich went back and forth calling plays throughout the season as well as the lack of talent. However, Brown was still developing the game plans throughout the season and Bryce Young, the No. 1 pick, was one of the few QBs worse than Pickett this season. His experience with the Rams was as a RB and TE coach.
I do like that he's off the McVay tree and has OC and HC interviews, so there's something there teams like. Last season was just so bad and there were so few bright spots with Young I just don't think I want to see them make this move.
On the bright side, a member of Tomlin's staff was a hired away as a promotion.

But all things being equal, why would you look to HIRE someone who was at the very BOTTOM of yardage attained as your OC? No, don't look to hire someone who was at the top of his game, look to someone who was at the bottom, excuses or not. Just more of Tomlin bull s-- if you ask me. Let's keep an OC for 3 years who was literally LAUGHED AT by his peers as far as being far too simple and predictable. That's a brilliant Tomlin move. And if Art OK'd it, then screw him too. If Brown shares in the "pee your pants" philosophy as far as not throwing to the middle of the field, then he's in. The consistent factor in our offense sucking is Tomlin, period. He's just a horrid coach.

I’m in no way endorsing Thomas Brown cuz the Steelers should be able to do better imo, BUT
He was in a helluva bad situation. A crap HC was in charge meddling much like Tomlin does and same crap HC was the play caller and scheme installer for the majority of the season. He was the play caller for their only wins tho
Blessed with a meddling crap HC, an injured OL all season, a rookie QB and no receivers I’m not surprised at all of their struggles on offense. They did improve when he took over tho.
So he should fit right in?

Leftwich’s one good season was Tampa’s SB season. Beyond that, the guy is very very average. The Steelers can do better.

You hire a bottom feeder because they are more likely to be glad for the job and more willing to do as your told. They also feel that bottom feeders seldom get worse, so the only way is up.

I thought this was about a new OC, not ANOTHER discussion about Matt Canada.
That’s Tomlin football. Play conservative, win with defense, and let your opponent beat themselves with mistakes.
Problem is that when you get to playoffs you play other teams who generally don’t make mistakes.

Why don't the Steelers have a rookie Quality Coordinator, charged with taking on draft picks and Steeler noobs adherence to expectations, work ethic, playing opportunities, onfield performance, off field behavior, SM posts, etc.?
I don't know what to officially call that person, but so many young people need firm guidance, especially highly compensated professionals.

Then why you bringing him up
I didn’t there
Wait a minute. Let me get this right. Zac Robinson gets announced as a candidate and it's "Good job Rooney and Omar"!
They then announce Thomas Brown as a candidate and it's "Tomlin going after bottom feeding yes men"!
So, the perception of who is responsible for each candidate is based on whether we like the candidate or not? Asking for a friend.
