    I’d be quite happy with Stefanski who would likely bring in a strong DC with him.

    I’d be surprised if it’s not a defensive minded coach however, one of Flores or Shula most likely.

    A few Browns fans on here?

    What is up with the obsession with Stefanski?

    Would you want Harbaugh as HC?

    Didn’t we beat this horse to death? Tomlin never won it.

    For obvious reasons. The list of the coaches confirms it this far.

    No, seriously. Explain why you think it matters that he coached for another team in the division. Forget the rest of it and try explaining that nonsensical argument. Who the hell cares that he coached a rival? James Harrison was on the roster of division rivals before the Steelers got him. DeShon Elliott played for the Ravens before becoming the Steelers' best safety last year. Explain this brilliant argument you have against that.

    There are good arguments to be made against Stefanski, but the fact that he previously coached a division rival isn't one of them.

    I think Harbaugh would have been better if he didn’t have Lamar

    Non sensical argument?
    Come on Scribe
    You honestly would want a Cleveland Brown HC that just got fired?
    That is my stand
    Sorry you find it non sensical
    Players are a different story
    Come on man you know better

    I'll be truthful to you. Harbaugh is signing a $100 million contract at $20 million per year, so I would expect Stefanski to go for about $15+ million per year.

    The Steelers are not going to pay a NEW coach that much, look for them to go Cheap and sign a young unproven kid for around $5 million per year. Steelers are cheap where they can be. They don't even own their own practice facility.



    I have been thinking about creating a new thread "Over or Under $10 million a year for the new Head Coach", but I am sure @jeh1856@jeh1856 would throw a fit. :)

    Stefanski reportedly now the Falcons coach. Good to see that other jobs are getting filled with guys that we didn't interview.

    you are comparing players changing teams to our FO hiring a division rival HC? Really?

    and even when CLE traded Flacco to CIN I thought it was collusion. The timing of that move seemed a bit shady.

    What role did Stefanski play in the Browns acquiring Watson?

    I think that’s a little misguided. Bill Belichick didn’t succeed in Cleveland. That place is a hell hole. Stefanski is in Atlanta now and Arthur Blank is 10 times the owner there. Less pressure and a team with some good offensive talent. He is perfect there.

    Agree, this is a good hire for Atlanta IMO, albeit they probably don’t have a QB with Penix / Cousins on the roster, and the Rams own their first round pick so he is going to need time.

    Depending on his record vs the division it would be a big deal. If a HC can't win in the division why would you consider him for the job?

    The Steelers lost at least 1 regular season game to the Browns each year since 2022. Real talk.

    Tomlin is the 3rd highest paid coach in the NFL and the Rooney's are cheap? What color is the sun in your world?
