Typical Steeler low-grade hire.

There's a reason that there's no branches on Tomlin's coaching tree.

I'm gonna disagree here.

He sucked as a HC but he was a really good OC and Najee and Warren should be extremely happy b/c they will be featured.

His philosophy is also in line w/what Tomlin wants to do so this isn't that surprising when you look at it.

We also both know that Art isn't gonna open the checkbook..

Brother, you hit the nail on the head.


My concern is that even with the '19 and '20 Titans teams putting up a lot yards, both years they didn't crack the top 25 in scoring offense. Lots of yards, not many points. That and the '19 and '20 era Titans offensive line and Derrick Henry aren't walking through the door with him. We both unfortunately know the sad state of the Steelers O-line.

Supposedly he is bringing Munchak w/him. Yes please if that is true.

Colbert left our LOS in shambles. But I do like what Khan has done so far.

Upside view: this guy helped rejuvenate Tannehills career and could salvage Kenny Pickett


Downside view: this offense looks very bad and archaic without good talent around it and Tannehill had showed a lot more promise for a longer period than Pickett has at this point. It’s gonna feel like the same ole shite if he doesn’t get more out of Pickett

Tannehill is 35 and is a free agent. May as well bring him in as well. Probably could had for much cheaper than what the Steelers paid Mitch Trubisky to shite his pants all over the field.

They were still in the top-half of the league in rushing attempts.

Smith is a weird one. He absolutely got more out of the offense a lot of times but also this year the offense was a total disaster. So who knows what you will get. Regardless history says he sucks without a competent qb

I was referring to Art Rooney, not Arthur Blank.

Will definitely not be drafting either of these guys or any Steelers in this year's fantasy football drafts. Got burned last year dealing with that clown.

But from a non-fantasy football perspective, I wouldn't be surprised if Smith has success in Pittsburgh.

I believe that he was referring to Arthur Smith. It’s safe to say that he’s not struggling to pay his mortgage when his dad is the founder of FedEx.
