It’s been a good run, fellas!!

[DumlinBumlinStumlin]

At this point, you just have to enjoy the humor and tone deafness of it all. Why leave? Stay and watch the train wreck. They'll fall apart almost instantly, and McCarthy will be canned within 3 years. Art II loves the idea of their coaching stability and he just fucked the pooch on this one to the point where he's going to have to suck it up and make another move in no time. Killing what he's probably proudest about with this franchise.

I think this move is going to ruin the team. Art will have to step aside. I hope they sell. This family is fucked in tbt head

The Rooney’s are never gonna sell the Steelers. There’s a better chance of the Pope selling the Vatican.

I’d rather him than Flores or Weaver.

Yep!

I hear you.

[bradshaw2ben]

Thanks to everyone here, especially @bradshaw2ben obviously, for years of fun, arguing and entertainment.

Gonna miss all of you, even those I constantly fought with!!

Seriously thanks for everything.

Just know you're welcome back any time!

[bradshaw2ben]

I agree it’s been a fun ride. B2B, drama, KC, Ice etc always appreciated your insights. More time for fishing, golf, tennis.

Maybe stick around for the board draft?

Oh, good point. Maybe we should just have board drafts every week of the season?

This has finally sunk in for me …
Draft in Pittsburgh next year and the face of the team will be fat Mike, zombie Art, Aaron Rodger’s, the jogger and Cam
Fuck this

The "O" is for Old

I love it when a plan comes together!

Why is kc leaving ?

[RemoAZ]

I didn't watch any games this year and it sucked. I'm going to hold out some hope that he at least brings in a high level DC and some good position coaches, something Tomlin NEVER did. If he's basically just the OC and let's a good DC do his thing, this might not be a total disaster.

The odds of KC actually leaving are lower than the odds of the Steelers winning the SB next year.

Exactly. Stick around and watch the train wreck.

I’m sure McCarthy will do something good things. Just enough though to get Dunce Rooney’s lil spud a chubby.

What a fucking coward he is going with the safe move.

And let’s not forget the “Pittsburgh Guy”.

Spot on.

Most of these guys said when Ben done. I Am done.

Still here lol

[Jtf]

McCarthy is a good coach. Why is everyone so upset ? He wins and makes playoffs a lot. Is that too similar to Tomlin ? Rooneys are not going to rebuild. They want to make playoffs every year. Why are you guys so pissed about hire ?

What reality are you living in?

They will still make the playoffs. Maybe they lose on round round again. But they will get tons of breaks and get in playoffs like usual. Well maybe not get the breaks . I think league favored Tomlin and helped Steelers win a few they deserved to lose. But I don’t get all the crying on here. It’s not like McCarthy is gong to turn then into the jets. Unless you really want them to have a 4 abd 13 season. I don’t think most on here could handle it. Not you. You guys like Swiss kc would lose their shit of this team tanked for a few years.

McCarthy is almost half the fraud Tomlin was. I’ve watched him more closely during his Dallas days. He mailed in most of the games.

Wait a second i was told here a week ago it wouldn't be a bad thing if the PS went 4-13 next year as a rebuild. Now we are being told to hang the new coach if that happens.

A 4-13 with an up and coming coach and draft picks vs 8-9 oh shucks craps shoot retread

I mean, Tomlin pretty much copy and pasted his gameplan each week anyway. He may have had some wrinkles for his defense, but overall approach was almost always the same week to week. McCarthy can coast if he hires better assistants.

The key to making the McCarthy hire work is going to be finding the QB in the next 2-3 years. Which is going to be tough to do if they don't bottom out even if not impossible.

[DumlinBumlinStumlin]

McCarthy has said “per reports “ in his interviews that he wants to develop Howard

[CKSteeler]

McCarthy plays the nice guy schtick and I guarantee he went in there trying to tell Art II just what he thought the old schmuck wanted to hear.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if he knows he'll get a few years and knows he isn't landing the QB this draft. If he can sell Art II that he can develop Howard it's maybe the best case scenario for the franchise. If Howard actually succeeds to some extent, that's great. If he doesn't, you likely fail and end up with a higher draft pick that Art II is loathe to accept they need.

In the meantime use the draft picks they do have to try and build the roster up.

It shouldn't be necessary to fool the dopey owner, but I think that's where we are.

And this reinforces what I said about Ben's bullshit take on all this. He almost certainly had inside info on all of this and was more interested in appearing right in public than being insightful.

And way more productive

Than watching / following the Steelers

Thanks to everyone here, especially @bradshaw2ben obviously, for years of fun, arguing and entertainment.

Gonna miss all of you, even those I constantly fought with!!

Seriously thanks for everything.

I think this is a short term ploy to fix the fundamentals and put in a solid coaching streucture, so that a young HC can come in and have a reasonable chance at being successful. I think the Steelers knew whomever coaches this team for the next 2 years is going to have a lof of baggage to get rid of, and they dont want to put that on a rookie HC, McCarthy makes sense as a stopgap,

Kind of tired of grown assed men being teen drama queens. He'll be back bitching and changing his mind about McCarthy week to week.

Steelers aren't what they were in the 70s but neither are their low T fans.
