The issue was never OC. Brady while being inexperienced as a play caller was a big problem his ability to design some nice plays was actually very good, he just had no idea how to call a game. The main issue is all the positional coaches are from Temple and Baylor and just simply aren't NFL level coaches. Will the new OC have the power to bring in some of their own coaches? My guess is no and that's why no one with any other options is going to take this job.

Tepper will bump their salary plus they know if Rhule fails again they are taking over mid season. If we get an OC with head coaching experience, I’ll feel a little better about next season. That’s a sign Tepper is making Rhule bring in outside help (which honestly makes no sense why we are keeping Rhule).

Are those really guys you'd want as your head coach, though?

O'Connell maybe but if you wanna go tht route there are probably better options.

One other thing: I believe bumping an interim to a full time job allows you to skirt the Rooney Rule. Is that something Tepper wants to do?

Regardless, if these guys represent Tepper's head coaching choices, I'm gonna echo that call that he needs to hire an outside consultant (or let Fitterer and Morgan handle that process).

I’d imagine someone from the Steelers organization actually cares about the Rooney rule. 
 

this just doesn’t make a lot of sense. You’re basically preparing yourself to have someone with head coaching experience for when you fire ruhle. 

just fuging fire him already

Not really. It’s something to attract a solid OC though. I don’t think we will extend them the following year unless they really turn the team around which will be very difficult with a shitty OL and Darnold…

Maybe. Not guaranteed though, and it's not hard to imagine Tepper being a guy who sees himself as above the rules.

But yeah, just fire him already. What's the point?

Also, as mentioned above, firing him gives you access to a lot better choices than these guys.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
