Igo or anyone in the know. We are clearly going for an offensive head coach. With Fangio and Patricia being retained who in the world is an option at defensive coordinator????

I would assume an up and coming positions coach that the future head coach is acquainted with.

He was terrible at Arkansas and just looks good because of Bill. I wouldn't like this

Eh.....a lot of pretty good coaches have been beaten by Arkansas. Bielema was very successful at Wisconsin. I am going to say that the issue with Arkansas is probably more Arkansas than some of their coaches.

Couple of items on the GM side...

Being reported that Tepper is reaching out to several executives with the Patriots (Jason LaCanfora)

Quote

Panthers owner David Tepper wants to speak to several coaches and executives who have ties to the Patriots organization as well, sources said, with Caserio a strong candidate to oversee personnel in Carolina as well. Tepper has retained general manager Marty Hurney, who is assisting in the coaching search, but wants to restructure his front office and will making multiple hires to do so. Hurney's title could change through that transition.

Last offseason Tepper was among those who reached out to former Patriots executive Jack Easterby as well, sources said, with a pursuit of him not out of the question either. Easterby is currently the Texans executive vice president of team development, but his unique skill set and background could make him a candidate for numerous positions depending on how a team utilized its front-office structure.

And there's speculation he's ready to throw "a lot of money" at Kevin Colbert (Pittsburgh Post Gazette)

Quote

Colbert’s contract runs through the 2020 draft. He could come back for another season, but he hasn’t committed to it. He could retire at 63 and live a more stress-free life. There also has been speculation that Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper — a Pittsburgh native, former Steelers partner and billionaire — will throw a lot of money at him to become the Panthers’ general manager.

Caserio, Colbert and others are under contract through the next draft.

So what's that got to do with the head coach?

Tepper has said that the head coaching hire will have input on the front office hires. A hire like Josh McDaniels would lean heavily toward a Patriot infusion. None of the others really have those sorts of ties with anyone in the Steelers office.  Greg Roman might harken back to some former Panther guys like Ryan Cowden though.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
