Honestly I would have rolled the dice on EE before hiring Mccarthy

Just a bizarre hire from the Steelers. They've always hired young up and coming coaches and now the hire a 62 year old two time retread? They just seem to be rapidly departing from the ways that made them one of the most consistent organizations in the league.

It does appear that way. However, perhaps they have become frustrated and think hiring McCarthy gives them the best chance of success and gives them an offensive minded HC?

It’s short term ism, but his offenses have typically ranked well, like Dallas’ offense between 21-23. His W-L record is similar to John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin, so I personally don’t see a major issue.

Their problem is going to be their QB spot. Rodgers clearly isn’t a long term solution and they don’t have anyone else on the roster that fits the bill either. They’ll need to find someone in the draft, through trade or FA to ensure they continue to be competitive.

They wanna keep thier no sacking coaches alive. Let the big fella tear the place down and then retire. Then give the keys to a young bloke

Yeah, I could've better understood it if they had a QB to put them in a situation to legitimately expect to win a SB within the next 2-3 years but outside of landing a hail mary in the draft with a guy wildly exceeding expectations or a Jake Delhomme type in FA I just don't see it. So what's the point of hiring a 62 year old HC?

I think they really believe they can compete in a short window with Rodgers and McCarthy is the one guy who he likely would play for. It’s completely delusional.
