Hines or Randle El would be great choices. Hines in particular for the cultural aspect of what it means to be a Steeler and on WR's not taking plays off and blocking.
WR coach out, who you gonna call, Hines Ward

Not sure which one she would rather be referred to as,,? "Old girl" which is what u normally call her,,,, or "ok girl" ?I dunno. Every workday I have an authenticator number given to me to sign on. Today it was number 86. Ok girl just had talked about Hines before I went to work.
A very odd can only mean one thing, he is coming aboard.

I think this is my favorite post of yours.
You’re funny.
The sole purpose now is to surround yourself with friends who won’t challenge you and get to a minimum of 8-8-1.
Ol... Auto correct doesn't like me shortening old.
Not being in the locker room or the front office, I have no idea whether that's the case or not, but from a fan's perspective, and after so many years of mediocre assistants, it certainly appears to be the case.

..or run off the good ones. It's not a good picture when they talk about NOT being able to do their job.

And his growth to HC was in spite of association with Shades, not because of it.
And he was essentially fired by the Steelers (contract not renewed) for getting their QB killed.
Best part was The Bruce reading in the morning paper that he retired when the day before Shades said that his coaching staff would return intact.

Yes, that story showcased how Shades was NOT truly "running things." And then there was the dishonest claim that Bruce "retired" when in fact he never said that but Rooneys didn't want to look too cold for showing him the door so they made it up. And Tomlin was clueless about it.

(sigh), sad but true. So sad.
Although as it turned out, they’d have done better to keep making the coaching hires for him.
The O hasn’t come close to those stats under Haley since he’s been gone.
Until now when they hired Smith we’ve had a steady assortment of Shades’ buddies at all coaching positions.
As bad as Canaduh sucked and as unqualified as he was…he was hired as QB coach because he was Shades’ buddy…and promoted to OC because he was Shades’ buddy. Left to his own devices, Matt Canaduh is what you get.
Heck, even Cook and Joe mentioned on 93.7 this morning.

Well, hell's bells. Another coach showcasing a lack of discipline. Geez louise, Cripes on a popsicle stick. I am sure Jackson was just trying to fit in; the entire team is replete with lack of discipline. And now another article comes out and makes the same statement: the team lacks discipline. Oh, let's blame the WR coach, he can't do anything to defend himself, we'll make him the scapegoat. That will do the trick. Oh, let's not spread any blame to the most obvious source. The head coach has nothing to do with team discipline or the lack thereof. Let's just blame some obscure WR coach for it.
Yea, that's the ticket, the head coach has nothing to do With team discipline. No, that can't be the reason why so many players have spoken out about it. Tomlin is all about discipline. As a matter of fact, when discipline gets really bad, he will take ping pong privileges away from players, but only the rookies (it would be too Machiavellian to take ping pong privileges from the ENTIRE team. What is he, a monster?)

Of course, you are 100% right. Shades hiring his "buddies" is a sure fire FAIL, if there has ever been one. The entire team, functioning on "buddy hires" is simply a FAIL from the get go. The fact Rooney allowed us to get here is an abomination. They were much more proper in leaving assistant coach hires out of Shades' hands.

It's hard to not bring him up when he is the root cause of most of the team's issues. How do you NOT bring him up, if you care about the team's success?
i guess not.
You're like Old Man Jenkins from Scooby Doo. Everything was fine if it werent for that meddling coach and his dog.
Nothing wrong with hiring people you know or worked with before, sometimes that can be good, problem comes when that’s the ONLY people you hire.

And you're like the current adm. on all the actual faults of what's wrong with the country: "Oh, all those illegal immigrants coming in, it's all because of the last adm. i tell you!"

LOL...If you want a free month of non-Tomlin talk just don't jump into the site for a month. Nothing wrong with taking a break from here. Seriously though. You need to blame Mr. Rooney. If he had fired Tomlin this off-season I doubt his name would be mentioned on here at all.
