    Might be a hint where the OC and DC might come from

    One of those people is already on the Steelers’ staff as an ilb coach. Hopefully he doesnt get promoted to dc

    Won’t make you feel better when you read and watch where McCarthy admits he lied about that to get the job.

    He’s a fraud.

    Art wanted to run it back with Mike, so he is doing.

    99% of fans hate this, they will have zero patience, and this will get toxic very fast.

    Not as toxic as Rooney shiils, like you.

    Telling it like it is, everyone hates this, apart from the toxic ninnies - like you.

    That's why it will get toxic real fast. Wait and see.

    Five seasons in Dallas (with perhaps the most interfering owners in the NFL):
    6-10 (initial season, so don't weight too heavily)
    12-5
    12-5
    12-5
    7-10

    Quite a few posters mention that they'd prefer the Steelers each season to be really good (12+ wins, for example) or bad enough to get a decent draft pick (like the 12th spot, for example). They don't want the 8, 9, 10 win purgatory. Seems like those fans would be at least okay with the kind of seasons he had in Dallas (and more than okay if he had more playoff wins).

    Yall crack me up with your bs. McCarthy said he lied about telling Jerry jones he watched every play of the cowboys 2019 season. Nice try though

    You’re also leaving out Andy dalton as the starter for the majority of the 2020 season

    He is correct, they went over this exact stuff when Je was hired in Dallas, and then later fired. It was talked about on many show from ESPN to Fox Sports. I can't give a link because I listen when I was working.

    Actually he isnt. In his press conference Che said he lied to jones about watching every Dallas cowboy play from the 2019. If you read the quote he got together with coaches to learn about analytics and what other teams were doing in the nfl. Notice how it doesnt mention the Dallas cowboys

    I'm almost his age-- he is a local guy-- he is offensive minded--which we have lacked badly...our DEFENSE can be top notch with off. support..Think positively about this.... give him a chance--If he sucks badly with no offensive improvement --then yes ---get the chants ready--But if you think he won't try hard to win here --You are mistaken--He was rooting for the Steelers even when with the COWTIRDS.So just wait until we hate-on him.Please.

    I'm only telling you what I heard on the radio at that time right before his being hired in Dallas, and right after his firing in Dallas.
    I don't have any proof of what they said, or what they said was correct, but it was covered on both ESPN, and Fox Sports. That's the only two sports stations I listen to while working.
