The Steelers are hiring Mike McCarthy

Well, that is one question answered......Will Smith leave? We all knew it was almost a certainty, and now we know it is a yes.

 

At least Tomlin is gone.. and right back at ya lil guy

 

OH WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW....WOW... (Ryan George - Pitch meetings)

 

Half of what we wanted.

My guess is that everyone will still root for the Steelers, just with less optimism. For me personally, I don’t see this team taking a step up unless the rest of the coaching staff somehow turns up aces.

 

Relatives friends strangers all congratulating me
Tho I may be wrong but sensing sarcasm to go with their chuckling as they congratulate me

 

Ah yes. The spin doctor.

 

Kubiak be a good OC for us

 

I totally forgot about that!
This is good news
Hopefully Arot won’t come back

 

Except Tomlin could NEVER ever develop a QB

 

Wait… did you mean geriatric staff?

 

Either will Art ll.

 

It’ll be a breath of fresh air at least for me. I always wait about 5 games into the season and will do so again, to see if that air is fresh or stale.

 

Another Tomlin..Time for Rooneys to sell...

 

Considering Danny Smith left, its rather middle aged

 

Pens are gaining traction.

 

The who?

 

I think I might be dyslexic. I read LoL as LoL.

 

Mendenhall.

 

Well…Yeah.

 

Head coaching hires
Pittsburgh Steelers: Mike McCarthy
McCarthy has a track record. He has won 60.8% of his regular-season games over 18 seasons and has a Super Bowl. But there have been plenty of playoff disappointments since that Super Bowl that have given McCarthy the reputation of a coach who has one title many years ago and can get you to the playoffs but not go on long postseason runs anymore, which is exactly what the Steelers just moved on from in Mike Tomlin. McCarthy was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area and maybe that was a draw, but it's also an unusual reason to hire a head coach. Perhaps hiring McCarthy leads to Aaron Rodgers coming back for another season, but is that much of a draw anymore? The hire is fine but it's not going to lead to much excitement or the belief that the Steelers found another coach who will be on the job 20 years.

Anyone Happy?

 

Wasted talent.

 

I am pumped! We will get top notch coaching for our players, on defensive side too. And most importantly for our QB room which was going to waster under the previous coaching staff.
