The Steelers are hiring Mike McCarthy

During his time in GB they were mostly in the middle on penalties so it's not clear what the true issue was.

 

Major problem in Dallas was the pre snap penalties

 

This was certainly my first reaction (and I think it's correct).

The post you replied to here was kind of my attempt at trying to convince myself that this isn't a terrible hire.

I'm generally a "the team knows better than me" kind of guy. The only other decision they've made that I really remember hating was drafting PF over Humphrey.

I really don't like this decision though.

I was hoping to see some change and some level of rebuild. But I think this signals more treading water. And my guess is that McCarthy will be worse at it than Tomlin.

If there's a funny part here...it's the Tomlin haters wishing on the Monkey Paw. (1) We want Tomlin gone! (2) We want an offensive minded head coach! Wonder what the 3rd wish is.

At this point, I'm mostly hoping that we can find our next LeBeau type at DC.
