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.

      He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb.

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.
