The Patriot Way or The Steeler Way?

I honestly would rather have Colbert and Kahn and McDaniels as coach. Surrounded with young talent he could go far. 

McDaniels as coach .. why? NE is about Brady and Belichick .. McDaniels rides their coat-tails

NFL insiders have posted stories about David Tepper and the Panthers being interested in executives from both the Patriots and the Steelers.

So which do they really want?

In my opinion, probably both. You're not guaranteed to be able to get either, so why not hedge your bets and keep your options open?

(optionality; that's a David Tepper thing, right?)

But if the choice were up to you, who would you want them to go after?

Neither. Give me the Kansas City or Seattle way. Steelers haven't won squat in recent years. Maybe we can start filming team's practices.

why can't we do it the panther way... why do we have to say, in a crude cookie cutter strategy, we want to be like someone else and think we'll have the same success....lets ask Money Money when he gets out of the MLS meeting...

Side note on "choosing your way".

Turns out that way back when, Kevin Colbert was actually an up and coming executive with the Detroit Lions. When their GM job came open, he was considered a potential candidate.

Lions owner William Clay Ford chose instead to go with a TV personality who Ford believed really knew what he was talking about after listening to his in-game commentary.

Yep. The Lions could have had Kevin Colbert, but Ford chose Matt Millen instead.

 

 

To be a Lions fan...

It really does all stem from owners' decisions. Hopefully Tepper will not be another Ford.

Just say "no" to McDaniels.  

[DamnItJake!]

Not sure I don’t want a tainted staff running my team!! If they are cleared ok!! But I don’t want to hear the B.S.. I would pick and choose from both! Not a McDaniels fan

[Ivan The Awesome]

The only thing I want from the Pats is someone from their scouting department. That's it. I don't want their coaching at all. McDaniels screwed up Denver so bad then bailed on the Colts. Eff that noise. 

 

If I had to choose, I hate to say it because I really hate Pitt, It would be the steelers way. They don't rebuild, they reload. They're always in the hunt and make noise in playoffs. Also have the hardware to back things up through drafting and hard nosed football.

For the sake of argument though, I'm asking to you choose just one.

So says a guy who ABSOLUTELY REFUSES to get onto the record about ANYTHING!

Like for example, choosing Marty Hurney over...well, anybody.

One owner doing that is enough. We don't need a second.

That is why he is worrying me right now. I’m still holding out hope that Hurney will not be the GM when the offseason really kicks off.

I prefer the referee way.  They can make or break any team.  Bribery gets you everywhere in today's selfish society.
