    Art is 73, that day has to be getting close where Dan succeeds him.

    Well, at his press conference last week Art said it will be him and Khan leading the search.

    “Leading” the search

    Art will certainly talk to his Dan

    Omar might confer with Weidel

    But that will be it

    Leading the search doesnt mean not taking any input from anyone else. I imagine both Dan and Weidl will be involved.

    Art is 73, would be silly not to have your son involved who is taking over soon.

    Sure, Dan might be in the room but we know the two guys who will make the call on the hire.

    His comments show everyone he is as clueless as we think he is. Worst of the rooneys by far. He sucks. Smallest coaching staff in the league and hire a gm who spend all
    Money on d when it’s an offense league. Still waiting for a #2 wr

    In the 3rd decade of the 21st century it might be a better idea to get away from nepotism and find some incredibly smart people to run this NFL organization. Art Sr. And his son Dan were absolutely fantastic with their dreams. Those days have long passed.

    Hopefully he takes over soon it can’t possibly be any worse than AR 2.

    This is like looking at my family tree on ancestry. On my mom's side there are at least 4 Conrads going back into the 1800s, on my dad's side it was rough because my grandpa was 1st generation American so records were sketchy. Like he was a junior but no one knows what my great grandfather's middle name was. So we have a lot of Joseph's and Roberts throughout my older brothers kid's lol.

    It was well known that Khan wasn't calling all the shots. Tomlin had a massive say in the roster. I don't think anyone knows how much Art was involved.
    I think Khan will be calling all the shots moving forward though.

    I wonder if there will be a shift at all.

    As I have said before and will again, AR II is likely to step down either before the end of the decade or by 2030. His time, like Tomlin and Big Ben, has come and gone. Time for a new face for the team.


    Keep in mind that AR II wanted Tomlin to continue coaching. Gotta give Coach T credit for stepping down even though it probably wasn't the easiest thing to do. Ball is now in AR IIs court; Omar Khan and Andy Weidl doubly so.


    Andy has built Super Bowl capable teams in the past while Omar has been around the block himself while being a lot more modern than Kevin Colbert was. Here is hoping that both can aid Pittsburgh in nabbing that guy at the Head Coaching spot. Once you have that guy at Head Coach?!


    Figuring out the rest is a but easier. Not by much but much better than without him.
