    But if he can't get a HC job this year with 9 openings then it probably won't happen for him.

    Ben should be the head coach --who is with me 7 to get us 7 all the way--I'm sure he could be convinced to do it-- if we all :beg:and:beg: him to. What do you think sounds like an idea to me..Ask him ART see if he will.

    I feel like I haven't really watched anything with ARII for a while.

    He looks a lot older than I remember.

    I don't think guys who made as much money as Ben has go into coaching.

    It sounds like it's a really ****ty job where you spend basically all of your waking hours working.

    If you are doing the job right then that is true.

    I don't care-- Ben would be awesome --he is a leader and very smart he would get us number 7.

    we need no huddle --we need to throw quick-- we need to blitz cover 0 always- and if we get a big lead ---then we need a big BUS type RB to run and smash and run out the clock in the fourth quarter-- I am not smart enough to figure this out-- but this needs done.

    keeping games close is not the answer-- destroying other teams is.

    Find the right coach not a conservative loser -- but an attacker who will win..

    Well he is the owner so..... I'm just happy that the current coaches aren't likely to be in the running. They should be unemployed!

    Oh I agree...just think it's dumb when people add words that weren't said when quoting someone.

    The Steelers have tended to hire head coaches who are young and upcoming

    That is why I believe age will be a factor

    Now for assistant coaches age is not a factor

    As an OL coach Munchack :thumbs_up:

    I'd tend to agree they looked at a young Cowher and Tomlin and could see it going that way again. However like I said before if the goal is SB quickly I think the resume is the most important factor well before age.

    The only coach I ever saw the Steelers require a new coach keep was Dick Hoak

    Not the Steeler way. If we could just have 2 games a season like that I'd be happy.

    I don't know how true this is but on the Fan they were talking about the Steelers when Cowher retired. Grimm was on the shortlist and they were all ready to hand him the offer for the HC job until Tomlin came in and blew everyone away in his interview. He had a detailed plan for his vision for the team. They immediately dropped Grimm and hired Tomlin because of that interview. And the rest is history.

    That's the same story that has been out there since Tomlin got hired.

    Hasn’t he already been fired from a HC job?
    Makes sense to me we unload money on him to be our DC
    Very good DC

    That has always been the story. It was going to be Russ to the point of Faneca almost leading a player revolt over Russ not getting it. They said Tomlin wasn't even in the conversation until he blew the doors off in the interview. Then when they made the decision we got stories of how he told John Lynch he was really good but he could make him better and backed it up. Unfortunately I dont think those stories improved what he did as a Steelers head coach.
