    Cohen and Johsnon are two men who should rate a little higher.

    The Steelers could have had Harbaugh or Payton!

    But Rooney is too tight fisted, values politics over ability ( a little ) and is spellbound by Tomlin's insightful jive. Meanwhile don't pay any attention to what the other hand is doing.

    Maybe he did. I thought this was a ranking of coaches thread. And, I thought it was being based on coaching, and this season. Hardest places to be a coach maybe, is that what it means?

    Why would the Steelers want Harbaugh when Tomlin has owned him?

    Harbaugh and Tomlin are about the same tier career wise....But yeah if Tomlin leave,I don't want Harbaugh even if he is a good head coach....need something new

    The head coaches of the Bears and Jaguars have done great things with their teams.

    Give them a few Years, and comeback, and tell me that.
    I still remember the people that wished we had ....
    Brian Daboll
    Mike McDaniels
    Kliff Kingsbury
    Matt Nagy , just a few off the top of my head......for our HC. LoL
    I'm glad our front office doesn't listen to fans.
    How's about not crowning so quickly.

    I totally agree, except for Kevin O'Connell, I need another year by him before I decide.
    Speaking of Kyle Shanahan who I think is excellent. I seen a very disturbing stat of his yesterday.
    All I'm saying is give it awhile before crowning them.

    I am sure,O'Connell would be the number 1 candidate in the NFL if he was available...even ahead of Harbaugh.He is a great offensive coach,just need a QB who is not trash

    We'll see.
    I believe when You are supposed to be a Qb whisper, and a big time scheme guy OC/HC, it's a little disingenuous to then blame it on a Qb that he had a hand in picking, and keeping

    There are only two coaches with more than 10 years (Tomlin, Reid) and only six more (McDermott, McVay, Shanahan, LaFleur, Taylor, Campbell) with more than 5 years. So, 75% of NFL teams have head coaches with 5 or fewer years in their current position (if you include those with HC openings).
