I think Tepper forced Rivera into a 3-4 when he took over, can't really tell how much influence he's pushing nowadays since he's layed low the last couple years

He did but he didn’t dictate Rhule having that hybrid 3-3-5 with Snow. That was Snow’s system. I think we just run a 3-4 now because Frank did and he hired Evero who runs that system.

I was never clear to me that Frank put that staff together. One of the problems with that season. 
 

In other news…  people, don’t forget the fans in Pittsburgh were chanting Fire Tomlin. It wasn’t good. 
 

He has his share of pride and the organization was walking a fine line to keep him and have that popping up next year.

Don't underestimate how a bad hire can flip that on it's head.

IMO, this was a mutual parting of ways because he likely would have been canned otherwise.

Also, I am willing to bet his media job lasts until a good HC opportunity presents itself.

This is speculation, and at odds with what the owner said. Why can't we just believe two people not known for bullsh¡tting at their word?

Tomlin would've had his pick of jobs, and will again. "Good" NFL coaching opportunities don't come along all the time, if by "good" you mean coaching for an A+ organization, but they're all good. Sometimes people get burned out and need a change. I think that if Tomlin gets the itch, he'll coach again, but if he enjoys his new gig he may stay in the media (á la Bill Cowher).

I don't think you can do any better than the Ravens job, and it's not like we hadn't heard rumors about Green Bay and Buffalo, and maybe even the 49ers. Tomlin would've been considered for them all. Sometimes the stated message is the one that's the truest and simplest.

You know would be funny? If he got the Cardinals job... .  Just like Wilkes before him.

Yeah, I'd think so as well.  He's only one year removed from fielding history's worst D.  I would think it would just be Rooney rule or kicking the tires at this point.

Evero could be a better hc than he is a dc. I don't think he's a very good dc unless his talent is a perfect fit for the scheme. No one else may be willing to take the Raiders job

Head coach and coordinator require different skill sets. Couple of guys have all the skill sets, it is rare. 
EE could transition, never know until you put him in the job, like all coordinators who get the chance to try being HC. 
And that is why I was really never against hiring retreads. I think it is an acquired skill for some and they can learn a lot from their failure the first time. Of course some just plain are not cut out for it.

I feel like the Raiders job is top 3 opening. Mendoza, Crosby, Bowers, Jeanty and 100M in cap space to spend

And that 1.1. 
They have a long way to go, but it is sort of a blank slate for a coach to work with.

You have to work for davis and your best player on defense wants out. You're also very clearly the worst team in the best division in the afc

Rooney rule team, honoring the Rooney rule most likely. 
 

As they say, it is a good experience for guys to go through that process regardless. Not sure if he has done it yet. Maybe he has. 
 

That poo would get old being the token Rooney guy. Or one of them but you gotta take what comes. 
 

Look how long it to Rivera to get hired as a HC. Not that he was Rooney, but he was a minority also. And not saying that had anything to do with it. He was an excellent DC.
