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.

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.

    • We could quibble about was that an answer to what I asked but I  don’t see it as being one. Look, he agreed to this Evero thing. Up front. Apparently anyway. Took the job with those conditions in place. I buy that and will work off of it.  This play calling issue isn’t the same thing. I am not in the mood to delve into Canales’ shortcomings and get out the pitchforks at the moment. I will abstain from that topic and stick to the quandary the dissenters who want to usurp his play calling power, find themselves in. As far as that goes I am still on the fence and think the play calling is Bryce centric and the play selection/playbook is affected. That does not mean I know that if the playbook was open he would be great play caller. Just that he is hampered right now.  Inserting an OC not of Canales’ approval changes the original parameters of the assumed agreement.  Unless you think Tepper placed a contractual prescription to allow Tepper to dictate that he can insert a play caller of his choosing after a time period if he is not satisfied with Canales’ work.  Which, do you really think that is in play?  I do not.    Unless it is, Canales has the option to yea or nay. As I said, it could be forced on him. But they only do that if they want him out.  And as of now his stock is up, I would have to say I don’t own any but I think it is up. He had the stadium rocking, the team in the playoffs, and has that sorry lil draft pick trending upward. Even at this very low rate.  I think he has ‘hand’ right now as they say on Seinfeld. This is something that may get play in the 2026 season, not now. IMO.     
    • Canes now have 19 losses on the year. Here is the truly alarming stat. 13 of those were multiple goal loses. 9 of those were 3 goal plus losses. This team is getting blown out more than any other year under Rod.     why?  Blue line is a total mess. It’s just no good with their combinations.  It pains me to say this, but they were mikes better with Burns and Orlov. They need Slavin so bad.  Health.  Size. The team is too small and has no physical play. Most forwards do not forecheck.  Worst under Rod.  Goalie play. Pretty average to sub par. PK is downright bad. It’s allowing a little over a goal a game. Worst under Rod.    Team will not win a playoff round under its current group of players. It’s not constructed to do so against heavy teams.      solutions.  Must get physical size by the trade deadline. Rod and Tulsky know this. That probably has to come with the 2C.  KKs size but a better scorer and meaner.  The need another physical winger.  Goalie. Either go all in on a top guy on a bad team or get average. Lastly, better defense. Need a Right shot heavy defenseman.  Yes that could mean someone’s favorite dman could sit. Looking at you Boom.    thats 3-4 new guys that must be brought in for them to have a chance at a cup.  And it’s all players that are different and better than what they have.  They have the cap. KK is gone. Add 4 mill back.    And then hope it’s jells unlike Mikko.
