These clowns really think they have a team that can win now !!!!
Think about that
They are going with MM with this draft and no QB?
Rodgers back on one year contract and QB in 27 draft.

Should’ve connected the dots when this was put out there….
49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak has removed himself from consideration for head coaching vacancies, per sources. The Raiders and Steelers had requested to interview him. He prefers to keep working with Kyle Shanahan.
:cry:
Maybe no one wanted the Steelers job much … no one of any worth
Maybe asshat Rooney really did yell. Them he thinks they can win now with this roster
And the smart ones bailed

The only way this makes sense to me is if Scheelhaase is brought in as an OC. Give him a year or two as OC with the promise to promote or something like that.
Could be, I hope. McCarthy is 62, won´t be here for 15 years.

I guess the job wasn’t as attractive as everybody thought

I doubt they even sniffed around McDermott. You know why? Because McDermott was fired in Buffalo for the GM and owner what he actually thought of that roster which is objectively superior to that of the Steelers.

You think Khan or Art II were going to sign themselves up for hearing what he actually thinks of what the Steelers have become?

The young coaches they interviewed almost certainly proposed big changes. McCarthy's sorry ass came in and promised them more of the same. And Art II ate it up because that's what he wanted to hear.

Yep. Very likely one of the main reasons. That means a lot of washed up veterans are back and new contract for nepo brother Connor. We´ll see regarding coos.

Good to know that you asshats have all the answers, know exactly what's going to happen next season.

Funny, I know he has a QB, but Harbaugh, older than McCarthy, is being hailed as a fuckin messiah in New York.

Whoever was brought in as HC would have a challenge at QB.

Too bad so many of you are renouncing your fandom. My guess is you'll still be around.

Lot of players during exit interviews said they want him back. So - Rooney did everything in his power to get him back.

There were younger, better and more innovative choices

This feels like a lazy selection

So on the illusion that they have a real Team even with no QB
They are going to scrap their successful track record of long tenured young coaches and
Likely still lose next year with a retread coach and non-football GM and
Risk being equated with the Pirates
Is Rooney a Russian spy … an agent provocateur here to ruin Everyhting this Franchise built ?

What the fuck is going on ?

If true

YUCK!

We can only hope this is McCarthy trying to pull a Russ Grimm and tell everyone he got the job when he didn't.

Steelers are the new Cowboys, historic franchise turned into a laughing stock. McCarthy is the fat Tomlin. Expect 8-9 seasons instead of 9-8.

Later fuckers, I’m done.

There is a silver lining here. McCarthy isn’t going to be here for 10+ years. It’s a baby step toward viewing the HC in a modern lens and not being beholden to keeping him out of traditions of only have 3 (now 4) coaches since 1969.

I hold out hope. Could this be our Russ Grimm moment all over again? They leak this hire, then switch it up to a younger guy last minute to get fan buy in?
