Brian Flores....

Is this really what you want again with a defensive minded HC after two decades?

 

How quickly we forget what Tomlin was like win the Steelers were winning playoff games, before the end of his career.

Highest Paid QB in the League.... Check
Highest Paid WR in the League.... Check
Highest Paid RB in the League.... Check if Bell would have signed the contract the Steelers offered.
Highest Paid Center in the League.... Check
Highest Paid Guard in the League.... Check


Tomlin went off the rails at the end of his career throwing money at his defense.

Edit: I am not sure Decastro was the highest paid guard, or 2nd at the time.
David DeCastro
The black-and-gold rewarded the right guard just ahead of the 2016 season with a five-year, $50 million contract extension. The pact included a $16 million signing bonus, and the total value was the second highest all-time for a guard.

 

Rooney is cheap

 

not really, duct tape isn't that cheap.

 

Flores has the job already. The Rooney's think its 1969 again. Win with a strong defense and a crap offense. Team needs total rebuild and clueless and cheap Art thinks otherwise. We will waste money on more defensive stiffs like the ones we have and pray for 8-9 wins and crushing in the playoffs if we make them. Sad how bad leadership destroys franchises. We not much better than the browns leadership anymore.

 

I would hate to see us make a final decision before the Rams are eliminated from the playoffs. We at least need to talk in person to both Shula and Scheelhaase. Flores and McCarthy are "fall back" options IMO. Neither are particularly strong HC candidates at this point in time, but could be relied upon for a short stint. Of the two, I vastly prefer McCarthy (and honestly he could hire his succession plan on either side of the ball and turn it over to them when he retires). His stint would be shorter due to his age, but if done right we could be better off for it. But I only entertain that if we don't end up landing the young coach we wanted.

 

The **** are you talking about? You don't think if he was the guy they would have called it by now? Half the candidates the Steelers need to interview are still coaching.

 

so, if we hire Flores-- I'm guessing it won't take long for the Fire Flores chants to start---Would it be a season or before it is over --If it is Shula will the chants start--Or are we going to give time and support to whoever the choose.. I will give whoever it is time..we must.

 

How many years should a head coach get-- to see if he will be successful

 

Electric Six rules. One of greatest music videos of all time, as well lol

 

Got a feeling McCarthy will own the interview.

He’s experienced.

 

No, it's not.

 

Youngster. LoL

 

Must be hard having such a short memory.

 

You mean like the gutsy HC for the Bears who 3 times if He just went for a field goal instead of a 4th down would now be in the NFC championship. No guarantees he ever gets that far again.

 

Bare minimum of 5-7, imho. Unless the team gets markedly worse each season despite notable improvements in players and coordinators – which would suggest that something is fundamentally not right –then that seems pretty fair for a minimum.

Of course, the Steelers organization tends to be far more patient than most (for better and sometimes for worse), so their floor of acceptability is probably significantly higher than mine.

 

IMO. However long You give him a contract for.

 

I keep hearing how patient the Steelers are, but I can't remember them hiring a HC, and him sucking, and I don't really remember Noll before the turn around. So I'm not counting that.

 

Not sure about that....I mean they score a TD in the first half on fourth down

 

They were 3-6 on fourth down conversions. 3 of the 6 misses were in field goal range. If they take just one of those, the don't even need to go into overtime.

 

Sean McVay has been on fourth down one time when it was 10-10 and they had a easy FG....But he has been on fourth down and they score a TD after that.If the rams would kick the FG,the bears would win 17-13

 

Agreed it's a huge red flag. Victim mentality. Stay away

 

Sometimes things don't work out for a number of reasons. That's how the world works.
