Butler will be next DC, so stop with ...

All the names of this guy or that, as it's been anything but a mystery the last few years. The FO has refused to allow other teams to interview him, and they have given him more money to keep him here for a reason. This talk of " Should this guy or that guy" get a look is wasted space as this site. Butler will be and should be the guy

 

Lol, this site isn't a waste of space, just the talk of another DC. Sorry TTF you use the space wisely

 

Is Tomlin going to pretend to hire him, or will we finally admit that Tomlin is just a figurehead?

 

is it a red flag that they haven't announced it? I mean if he is I would go ahead and do it so nobody comes calling with a better offer

 

talk about guys not getting on the field quickly enough with DL, butler is king of. ask Jason worilds and Timmons. and the keeping guys around too long, ask farrior and foote.

oops sorry just trying to make butler feel at home here. see what I did there.

 

:shots:

 

that's what i think too if is butler why not announce it ?

 

Didn't Timmons play in all 16 games as a rookie? When did a linebackers coach start signing players to contracts and cutting them?

 

when did our DC?

 

I wonder about that too. But since the Steelers didn't announce the LeBeau resignation, (LeBeau did), they may have been caught unready. But if Monday goes by without announcing Butler, I'll really start to wonder.

 

is there any reason to wait? I mean unless he aint the guy. I wonder if someone still playing is going to get a look

 

They have to go through the process. I'm sure there are rules about how many people you have to interview and when you can do it.

 

i'm not so sure if you want i think you can promote a cordinator without an interwiew

 

If it is indeed Butler. They'd likely need to work out some agreement terms both sides we're comfortable with before announcing. New position = new contract/money and terms...even if both sides agree to stay together.

 

the butler did it. sorry I had to go there, and no I'm not proud of it.

 

The article I reat yesterday in the Post Gazette said that Butler's contract has expired so that maybe why there is a delay because contract negotiations have to take place.

 

Maybe they are going to clean the Defensive house. The next guy should be able to bring in his own guys. But he might interview the remaining to see if he wants to retain them. I believe the Rooney Rule applies to any hiring.

 

If you're going to fire DL, why hire his disciple? I would think they only let him go as they want to go in a different direction, and Butler only knows DLs system I would think. He's a goner in my opinion.
