    Well, Tomlin already said they'll be looking for someone from the outside. Leftwich is about as inside as you can get, so this isn't exactly some kind of revelation. Of course Art will have a big say in the matter, it's his team. Nothing to see here folks

    TOMLIN should just become a dual threat and start calling the plays on O.

    What did Rooney actually say that is what counts

    Not what Kaboly says

    It only took 3 years to get the running going after he demanded it.

    Well since Art Rooney hired Matt Canada, this worries me.

    Not a single direct quote from Art. Hmm, why is that, Kaboly :hmm:

    Hope he is right about Leftwich though, once upon a time I wouldn’t have minded that but not now, have to get this right.

    I'm not against the idea of Lefty being QBC, but that's bout it.

    Did Rooney say anything about Byron, or is this reporter just making sh!t up. I clicked on the image and nothing happened. It looks like a video file ready to play of Art talking about the OC job and Byron.

    Is any of this true? That is pretty bad if Art says nothing about Byron, and then some jackass of a reporter makes a headline and tries to make it look like this info is coming from a press conference.

    I followed the twitter link, and then another link at the twitter account, and there it was. By Joe Clark.

    Brady/Arians made Lefwich look decent. He was terrible in Arizona.

    So some half wit from the Athletic is throwing stuff against the wall and hoping it sticks.

    How about someone with an actual resume commensurate with the role he's being asked to fill?

    Like, there's at most 32 people in the World who have this job - so that doesn't really justify why Matt Canada used to be one of them simply based on resume alon.

    Let's see how cheap Art wants to be.

    The first piece of good news is that THEY are looking at outside candidates for the OC

    The second is that it won't be Leftwich...

    I also believe that Art II will be making the final call with help from Khan and Weidl.

    just made similar statement, then read this.

    Need GREAT coordinators, let Tomlin sit on high.

    that is when we WON, in early 2000's.

    that is ONLY way then can win championship, if MT is to remain HC.

    the ONLY way.

    This is a bait article.

    Mr. Rooney, Ohmar and Tomlin are compiling the list.
    Of course, others, will have inputs but those three are 'task force.'

    They'd have to hit it out of the park this time with the OC if they want to have any chance of ever being contenders with Tomlin still being around
