By then all the good candidates will be gone. We will either get the scrubs or promote some sycophants

In-house hires.... 99/100 times, end up in failure and disaster. Steelers need to look elsewhere for coaching talent... either NFL or NCAA.

DJ was shipped out before Azzanni got to work with him this season. That he is a head case wouldn't fall to a position coach anyway, that would be Tomlins responsibility. DJ went through 4 teams this year, would you really hold a position coach responsible for not fixing that?

Pickens looked about the same to me. The other stuff got worse. I suppose you could ding Azzanni for Pickens route running not improving much but again, look at what he is working with. Reports out of camp were that Pickens wasn’t taking to the coaching and was butting heads with Azzanni.

Van Jefferson is what he is at this point, not going to toss Azzanni aside because he couldn’t polish a turd.

Mike Williams gets an incomplete from me. 1st season back from a ACL, takes most everyone a season to get back to where they were. He was treated the same way by the Jets so I’m going with he’s not ready yet. Next season whether its here or someplace else will tell us if thats what it was or he is just washed.

The one guy that is young, hard working and has the right attitude did improve. Austin.

I don’t agree necessarily with the part in red

Sure it ultimately goes to the top but counting players IR practice coaches interns etc Tomlin has over 100 people working for him

It’s like the military if a private is a screw up a colonial doesn't nurture him. That gets kicked down to a Sargent or lieutenant

I had 600 people working for me at one time I sure as heck couldn’t fix a head case at the bottom

They only have so much practice time, a position coach needs to spend that time refining techniques, not playing shrink. If Azzanni should go because he can’t fix a broken head than Tomlin sure as hell should go.

Latest talk Wilson is gone,who wanted him? Canada gone ,thankfully , who wanted him ?Kenny gone , who wanted him and on and on and on and now Fields mr. happy feet who will probably , if not coached right , be gone . How come the person responsible for these failures keeps getting extended while the fans clearly see the problem . Feel free to add other failures like mitch , the list seems endless as does the misery.

We are stuck until ART II sells the team or kicks the bucket.

Not sure of family tree? Does he have children? I would think he'll hand it down if he does. I believe the Pirate owner has already said his daughters will get it. So I'm F'ed forever in MLB.

Dan Jr is next in line and has been on the forefront of the Ireland media rights stuff and has taken larger roles in stuff like league meetings.

Guess we all will have to wait another week or so. For that matter, as painful for me as this sounds, I don't expect any changes to be made until after the Super Bowl. If no changes happen by then, no changes are happening period.

For that matter, I believe AR II is supposed to address the media soon. Last year he did so on January 29th. I suspect that it will be the same date or on the 27th. Perhaps there will be more information then.

Sort of an unwritten rule that teams sorta of take a pause during Super Bowl Week on hirings. A no upstage the Super Bowl rule is respected. So if no announcements this week then there won't be until after the Super Bowl.
