What if McCarthy was the only option?

yes - we agree

I liked Mike personally.

He just did all that he could do. He reached his zenith, if you will

Rooney NEVER would have removed him.

MT did the right thing.

But ROONEY is the problem.....

 

MT just did what he could, what he thought was best. Which worked for a short bit here in Pittsburgh, and then... it didn't.

Rooney seems incapable of making the hard decisions. He's too stuck on short term success to see a long term vision. Ultimately it will damage this franchise moving forward. The game is becoming a young man's game rapidly in today's world. If ownership has their heels dug in knee deep in the stone age... its only going to harm the organizations ability to keep up with the rest of the league. We're in the beginning stages of that right now. I don't want to see it get worse.

 

Is this

Is this why there are fans already ready to jump off of bridges? The man hasn't hired any coordinators yet that I'm aware of, and fans are figuratively picketing in front of the stadium already. Patience?

 

Not a single mention of Cap space, Draft picks, or No Dead Cap money. These should be huge bonuses for any Coach wanting to feel like he is getting a chance to build a winning team.

 

It was maybe the worst AFC north ever this season.Maybe only in 2003 have a argument

 

Is is funny, Can you imagine trying to sell the Cleveland Job.

Uh, yeah...... our most expensive player on the roster has an $80.7 million 2026 expense, the most for any player in NFL history, but you can't cut him because that would incur a $131 million dead cap hit for 2026. And..... FYI he didn't play at all in 2025, and only 7 games in 2024.
