Info on Rip Scherer

[Mr. Scot]

Just saw this recently. Anybody else heard this? I don't remember seeing it discussed.

Also, Rip Scherer Jr. could be a candidate to become the Steelers' quarterbacks coach. Scherer, a Pittsburgh native, is the quarterbacks coach of the Carolina Panthers. He interviewed last week to become the offensive coordinator at the University of Virginia and it is possible the Panthers would grant him permission to interview for the Steelers' job.

Scherer was head coach at the University of Memphis when he hired Tomlin for his second job as a graduate assistant coach in 1996 and the two have remained close. They are both William & Mary graduates. Scherer is the cousin of Kevin Colbert, the Steelers' director of football operations.

Cowher fans should absolutely love this

Damn, I would hate to lose Rip. Matt Moore needs that continuity right now.

[Mr. Scot]

The article's old. We're not in danger of losing him now (this season, anyway).

I was mainly pointing out the Colbert connection.
