Tomlin stepping down

[Litos]

I don't think it is realistic to expect that. This team is old and full of holes. The team has no bonafide QB1. It's going to get worse before it gets better.

Just like my favorite t-shirt

How about The Deuce announces his plan to train his son alongside Omar in the business and funding side of the team, so Khan becomes President with Dan as president in training, while Weidl gets to run the talent part of the team along with the new coaching staff.

The Deuce gets promoted to Chair Emeritus and has less and less daily involvement as he sets up his boy to lead next. A very similar path like the one from Chief to Dan to Deuce.

I was talking about Mike McCarthy

**DUCKS**

Oh, I’ve heard a lot of people mention Cignetti and just assumed. I’d like someone younger than McCarthy… and Cignetti for that matter.

he's gonna lose a lot of talen in this draft, he could take a huge contract opportunity if it appears

He got two raises in the past year from IU, he’s making $11.6M annually.

No, I know. I just think it would be really funny.

That’s a very interesting and worthwhile succession plan I believe

I've been a fan of the Steelers for decades. I have to say that for the first time in years, I finally feel optimistic the team can move forward again.

I have nothing against Tomlin, but it's like a long-time cloud dampening my Steeler excitement has finally been removed.

Who knows what will happen next, but there is now at least the hope in my mind that things will change.

The hope that young players can be developed, hope that good assistant coaches will be hired, hope that the head coach will know how to prepare a team consistently and understand things like clock management, how to make in-game adjustments, and when to throw a freaking challenge flag.

It may all backfire, but, last least for now, it's a rosy as things can get considering the team just got knocked out form the playoffs two days ago.

A bit of an inside look about what Tomlin told the team in his meeting. It appears he finally recognized he was the reason the team was stuck in neutral.
