Whiz fired from Cards

Just got an ESPN alert on my iPhone saying that Whisenhunt has been sacked.

Not much other info out there right now, but here's the announcement on nfl.com

Not surprising. My phone has been receiving constant ESPN alerts filled with coach and GM firings for the last 2 days.

 

This is wild. The NFL is shaking up. Next year will be interesting.

 

So are we going to be looking for a new OC???

 

Doubt it.

 

Isn't that the truth! There is talk that the Lions might fire their head coach because the owner doesn't like the image that he has given the team. Very interesting piece on Sportscenter this morning with Hoge and Jaws talking about head coaches, GM's and Owners.

 

So?

 

Don't you know that we are supposed to grab everyone that gets let go?

 

You think he will come in to be a receiver/TE coach?

 

Naw Chad don't you remember this is gpguy he doesn't want talk in the main forum about anyone who is not a Steeler and doesn't directly affect the team. Post like this force really meaningful ones from the front page requiring him to click to page two to find something else to read. That takes alot of energy.

 

no im sure he is still pissed at the steelers

 

No Tomlin seems happy with a 8-8 OC

 

The OC didn't finish 8-8, Tomlin did.

 

Man it would be sweet to get Russ back as o-line coach, but I hear he is interviewing for the Bills HC job...

 

Maybe hailey will take the cards job

 

This was not posted to suggest in any way that the Steelers should re-hire Whiz. In fact, I almost added a tag line saying "please don't start the "FTHI and hire Whiz" posts," but decided to just leave that be.

I posted because as a Steelers fan, it is somewhat interesting to me to see how things are going with former Steelers coaches and players, and I know some others here feel the same.

 

Maybe Whiz ends up in NY as the Jets OC. They just can't keep going with Sporanos, unless he was already canned along w/Tannenbaum. I think he's solely an OC candidate at this point as I don't think he gets any of the openings out there.

 

I think they announced last night that Sporanos was done, G.B.

 

We didn't have much of a line when Russ was here either!

 

Yep, they built a promising team out there, they just had no QB and no Oline. Injuries also killed hurt them. Ryan Williams and Beanie Wells kept getting injured. Give that team a QB and they're a contender. It's hard to put it all on the coaching staff, but in the end, they are responsible. He'll definitely get some consideration for HC jobs out there

 

Tomlin didn't finish 8-8, they all did.

 

of course if it was only for tomlin we would have been 2 14

 

Even if we were 2-14 on paper, Tomlin would have convinced us we were 14-2. I'm surprised he hasn't convinced the NFL that we did in fact make the playoffs. If only he could coach as well as he talks, we'd be undefeated every single year.

 

he would be already in hof
