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.

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

The guy posting said "make the playoffs with the likes of tiny hands Pickett, Rudolph, Russ, washed up Rodgers," 

So like I said, he could have brought Jones in this year instead of Rodgers. My point being those were his choices and a big part of what people are measured by are the choices they make. Those were not good choices.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
