    That may be true but a Rooney will always have the last say.

    If a franchise level Qb is not available you use the draft to get a receiver and DB help. make a change at DC and O Line coach. Give Howard a shot with Mason as the backup. We are probably going to need to draft a franchise Qb in 26 or the following year.

    Depending on how we finish this year, i would make buyout terms for Tomlin if he doesn't leave on his own.

    Not a huge coaching poll to pick from this cycle if Tomlin was gone. I'm assuming they'll want to go with a younger guy.

    Flores would have to be the front runner. He's 44.
    Maybe Kelvin Sheppard, who's 37.
    Also, word is Marcus Freeman could be a candidate to go to the NFL. He's 39.
    All three are defensive guys.

    Vance Joseph is a bit old, and Antonio Pierce isn't even coaching right now.

    Unsure how me speculating Dan III could be assuming control of the role of team president is merged into this topic.

    But since it has become about what I would do,well here yinz go:

    First step to getting rid of insanity is to first realize that you've been insane. They can't continue utilizing this same strategy that they have the past 3 years. It's simply not working. And the worst part is there's little development with the guys they have drafted: Broderick (bust trajectory), JPJ (average #1 could be a great #2), Benton (very good rotational piece), Washington (very good #3 TE), Herbig (very nice #3 Edge, and good enough to make Highsmith expendable), Cory Trice (IR specialist), Spencer Anderson (ok backup). I don't that Khan's first draft has been bad, just a tad bit underwhelming. It's fantastic as far as potential depth moving forward and a decent skeleton to build around. I'd grade it a C-. Definitely not the A-/B+ I thought it was in April of 23.

    Decline Brods 5th year option (this sucks, but he's on a bust trajectory)
    Trade Highsmith (have Sawyer/Herbigshare the edge opposite TJ), Ramsey, Queen, Friermuth
    Don't cave into any of Heywards demands and if he retires, so be it.

    We need to get younger, faster, and more aggressive on defense.

    As far as the offense is concerned. Build around the OL we currently got, and draft IOL early, unless theres a G seeking his 2nd contract that's available. Gotta find us a outside Z to play opposite DK. As far as QB is concerned, gotta get a vet and if we draft one, we draft one, if we don't, we don't. I find restocking this roster with youth is more important than getting a QB.

    Our decline is due to:
    No home runs on 1st round picks since 2012 except for watt
    Poor choices for assistant coaches who didn’t coach up the draft picks
    No franchise QB

    No more Tomlin pressers. Starting in 2026, Terry Bradshaw will do all of the pressers. Pre-game and Post-game. Start with that.

    It's fun to talk about, but the reality is not much will change in 2026.

    I think AR comes back for another year. The Steelers will trade up for a QB, and then let him sit for a year behind AR.

    Other than that the Steelers will make some minor tweaks and run this thing back yet again in search of another non-losing season.
