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.

    • You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy. 
    • He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold 
    • Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
