How about leave our coaching staff alone, you fucking vultures?!
That's a great job but Tomlin's a tough act to follow. Steeler fans will need to at the very least not see a dip in defensive potency while he searches for that QB answer.
Wouldn't surprise me if LaFleur goes with him and calls plays and we promote Nate
If the Buffalo Bills hire an offensive HC, Joe Brady could be in play.

Still so curious what went sideways with him in Detroit
He'll have all the time he needs to find one. We're talking about Pittsburgh.
As well as promoting Pleasant and saying, "fuck you Chargers!!!"
Sounds like an assumption that ignores Tomlin's body of work. Winning a title early and then not missing the playoffs even without a QB is how you end up with a job for a long time.
Is Pittsburgh automatically patient and long term with coaches? Or have they benefitted from great hires. And from there what happens if the hire is not great.
So I don't think it's a healthy assumption to make that he'll have all the time he needs.
Yes. 19 years? Of course not. The new coach will get 4 or 5 years before he's on the hot seat IMHO, sans a bunch of 4-13 seasons.
They have but they trust their process. And who can argue with that?
I disagree with the health of that assumption.

Sure, there were a lot of winning seasons in between (and even a superbowl loss) but I think that's the definition of patient.
Bill Cowher became coach of the Steelers in 1992. He won the superbowl in 2006.

I think the law of averages has to catch up with them at some point
Personally, I think it will be easy for them to cut bait if the next coach aint it in the first couple years. Cowher won 32 games his first 3 years, Tomlin 31. If the next coach only wins 7-8 games he'll be gone quickly because he clearly isnt tracking
Precisely my thinking.
Fans and media assume that Pittsburgh's ownership is on a different level with patience. But really where they're on a different level is the quality of their hires that enable patience.
So I'd hate to be that coach who comes up short and breaks the spell. Not that I think Shula would come up short. But I'm not completely certain he's ready to run the entire show while ensuring the defensive side of the ball doesn't drop off.
