    Okay, here is a left-field thought…hear me out:

    Every where Jim Schwartz goes, his defenses bring the wood!

    I know he hasn’t had success as a head coach, but it was the Lions. Who’s to say he wouldn’t succeed with the Steelers as a HC?

    You pair him with a really good Offensive Coordinator we could have some success.

    Once again
    Why would you want a coach that has just been fired from a HC job?
    Please tell me others do it all the time
    We are the Pittsburgh Steelers
    We are not the other teams

    Well, I’m NOT voting for the guy who has had a defense for the past 3 seasons that has averaged around 30th in most important statistical categories. Beyond that, who has the critical leadership and management capabilities? I don’t know. Scheelhasse’s resume seems a bit thin to me for an NFL HC.

    First and foremost
    Did I or didn’t I type
    Is this a rumor
    I didn’t go in saying this was a fact
    Therefore this time I wasn’t bull pooping
    Will admit a time or two in my life I may have been bull puckying
    Now I am bull chipping
    I am honest and trustworthy to my wife

    Does every Steeler coach need to hang on for 20 years?

    Let’s be honest it was only really good for the first 10 years for Noll, Cowher, and Tomlin.

    At this point I’m not sure 20 years is a concern to me

    I don’t put many miles on but I’m pretty sure I bought my last set of new tires

    Some days I question buying green bananas

    I probably wont make twenty more so I hope we turn it around faster and we get to see one more Lombardi. The mrs just diagnosed with Alzheimer's and she is 57 so unlikely she makes 20 more either. One stretch of dominance would be awesome. Greedy I know but cant help it.

    This!!!! I think Flores is the best option with Marcus Freeman out of the running. But if the Steelers brass didnt value youth so much because they want to hang on to a coach forever....I would love to see Cignetti get the job. What hes done in two years at a basketball school like Indiana is unparalled in college football history and his team is filled with 3 star players. I mean, the dude just beat Alabama by 35 and Oregon by 34....teams filled with 4 and 5 star talent. Hes 64, so the Steelers would never consider it but I would love to see what he could do with world class athletes and not just 3 star players.
