It was reported today that longtime Steelers GM Kevin Colbert may be on his way out after the season. He has been signing one year deals the past couple of seasons to stay with the Steelers but the thought is that tenure could be coming to an end. Does Tepper break out the checkbook as he did with Rhule and finally push ol' Hurndog up out of here? FTLOG lets hope so.

Had this discussion last year too.

There were rumors that Tepper had been in touch with Colbert, and given the level of success he's had it would make sense.

He's only a few years younger than Marty though, probably not a long term solution.

I've said before though, and still say, that I would happily hand him the keys and allow him to restructure the football organization however he saw fit in a consultant role or some such.

I'd be onboard with this is.  Give him a couple of years and let him groom Stewart.

If I were Tepper I'd do whatever the fug it takes to get this guy and give him full control of the front office to work with Rhule. Those 2 would bring us a Super Bowl, I have zero doubts about that. Long term solution or not who the fug cares. He'd bring us a championship within 5 years. No brainer if we can get him. Colbert + a QB in this offseason and we'll be back in fuging business boys.

Steelers reporter Ed Bouchette was the guy reporting this last year. For the record, Bouchette is one of the best in the business. He's covered the Steelers forever.

Colbert has been King of Everything in Steelerland for 20 plus years. So the question becomes why would they be thinking of parting ways with him.

From what I've read, it's Tomlin.

Colbert and Tomlin have apparently been having a power struggle for a few years now, and it looks like Tomlin is winning. That whole thing where minority owners (possibly including Tepper) were trying to get rid of Tomlin a while back is apparently part of the story. Don't know if Colbert was directly involved, but he may have been part of the story in some form or another.

Mind you, Colbert is 63 and it's also quite possible that he's approaching Roger Murtaugh territory (i.e. "too old for this sh-t").

      One thing this got me thinking, is if Canales got some of the best seasons out of Baker/Geno/etc, how long before Tepper asks him his true assessment of Bryce? Obviously it has to be sometime during or after camp once pads are on

      Here is the bottom line---if you assume that the offense was bad because Young was bad, then that position is understandable.  If you assume Young was bad because the offense was bad, that is understandable.   Personally, I think Bryce will improve a lot in 2024.   There just aren't too many rookie (or veteran) QBs who would have done well under these circumstances....full stop.  I have NEVER heard so many different experts (game announces throughout the season) analysis experts, talk so much about a team's receivers not getting separation.  Experts know how important this is because the qb has about a second to get the ball in that window--we did not have any windows.  Furthermore, we had 7 different LGs and 8 different RGs.  62 sacks, most up the middle.  So he had people in his face with no open receivers.  And people are saying, Bryce sucks!!  My question is this:  What is he supposed to do?  Make sure his plant foot is secure and he is holding the ball to his ear?

      I mean we can't really discuss WR's or Centers or whatever without mentioning the QB situation. Not sure what the optimists are grasping at. He was incognito all offseason except for a couple celebrity camp/youth camp appearances. Thielen was in the weight room every time they put out any footage inside the building. I think being the number 1 pick and QB1 comes with more weight than just showing up a day before voluntary workouts, no pun intended. If Cam had done the bare minimum imagine how much he would have been killed on here
