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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
