Do we still get draft comp if EE leaves by being hired elsewhere, since he was still under contract?

Win-win for us. We get out from under Evero's system and gain draft capital. 

3rd this year and next.

If Cooley gets hired as DC somewhere just a 3rd this year

I didnt believe the faux smoke around us as the mystery team contacting harbaugh...however...I would wonder if Tepper would back a brinks to tomlin with his pittsburgh connections.

I remember hearing rumors that Tepper was one of the guys for the Steelers brass that hated Tomlin the most and wanted him fired. I highly doubt we hire Tomlin (as long as Tepper is our owner).

Tomlin without Roethlisberger has not been anything special.

The Steelers without Roethlisberger have also been pretty ass talent-wise. Guy has somehow continued to make the playoffs with the likes of tiny hands Pickett, Rudolph, Russ, washed up Rodgers, and whoever else I forgot.

What hurt Tomlin most is that his team always going 8-8/9-8 has meant they never got a top 10 pick

He could have picked up Matt Jones or Daniel Jones or Matt Willis, etc. They were available but they chose to bring in the guys you described instead. Given how long he has been with the Steelers, I can't help but think he has a pretty big say in who they bring in so those choices fall on him. And while has has made the playoffs, it was always as a wild card team and they lost the first game each time.

good to hear, nevermind then.  I just saw pitt and thought Tepp would LOVE to bring that here with his love for the steelers org.  Im cool growing with Canales...but god, we cant keep doing the same poo on defense.

Shock and awe

Can you imagine Tomlin as your HC with Harbaugh as ST coordinator/assistant HC, and McDaniel as OC.

Yeah yeah, Harbaugh ain’t taking a demotion, but money talks. Isn’t this the type of thing all y’all wanted the stupid rich northerner to buy the team for? Let’s do it Tepper don’t be a little bitch.

Most head coaches aren't very good without a QB.  Unless he's responsible for roster construction, I don't think Tomlin was the limiting factor in Pittsburgh.

He had a winning record with Kenny Pickett....Tomlin is a great coach. 

So odd that 2 top coaches from the same division would be gone.

Yes they do. Any team that wants to hire him would have to work out compensation with the Steelers.

Throw in Bryce and call it even…

He could not have brought Daniel Jones until this year. Sounds nice in an argument but is inaccurate
