oh i see they just called the job director of football operations instead of GM. thanks for that info.

so yeah he basically built the modern steelers franchise. it's funny Richardson wanted to model us after the Steelers but now we might get the guy who modeled the Steelers

Literally.

I've read up on Colbert. Their current scouting and draft apparatus?  All his handiwork. The well oiled personnel machine that allows the Steelers to just plug and play? He's the architect.

Unfortunately, when the minority owners (likely Tepper, and possibly Colbert) organized against Mike Tomlin a few years back, it backfired. Tomlin is said to now be more powerful in Pittsburgh than ever. And Colbert is considered to be "on the hot seat" if you can believe that.

Throw in that the Steelers last year offered to extend him, and he turned it down.

His contract right now runs through the 2020 draft and after that he's a free agent. And yeah, it's possible the Steevers could decide to part ways with him before that.

Luckily, there's another NFL owner who is friends with him and holds a great deal of respect for him.

Hope you guess his name.

Nothing new here. It just restates what we already knew  maybe more likely now that change is happening.

Let’s just say this may have been discussed in the Allpro section for a little bit. Since there was an article I thought I’d share.

You mean the guy who took LB’ers like four straight years in round 1? Yeah nah I’m good 

bud Dupree and Jarvis Jones are OLB’s in a 3-4 and he picked shazier. Those were the 3 straight years. Then got tj watt years later and a safety last year.

jones is a massive bust, bud Dupree is solid and we all know how good shazier was until the injury. 
 

he knows how to build the trenches but also draft playmakers (Big Ben, ju ju, AB)I would say his biggest deficiency is drafting corners, recently anyway.

he would be a very good hire imo

Sure as hell can't argue with the results.

If he's so good why would the Steelers let us have him?

Because apparently he and Mike Tomlin might not play so nice together.

He's no longer under contract after the coming draft, so unless he signs an extension the Steelers have no say.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
