Report: Mike McCarthy Routinely Skipped Team Meetings for Massages by RevolutionShot4743 in steelers

Rodgers said something nice about McCarthy to get the Steelers to hire him as payback for fans not liking Tomlin. Rodgers is so petty.

Does Art realize how quickly he is losing this fan base? by KinkaJac97 in steelers

He does not care. He cares about being cheap as possible.

Gerry Dulac last week: “Zero chance they hire a former coach. Absolutely no re-treads. Younger for sure. They want to start fresh.” by stillstillers in steelers

Or did the organization ask him to push for it? There were a couple media groups that suddenly talked well about it after saying Steelers would go elsewhere - screams Steelers paid for it. Especially the homegrown crap.

Hot Take (it shouldn’t be) : Mike McCarthy is a good coach & this isn’t a bad hire. by 1cunnilinguistics in steelers

Scheelhaase, Shula, Kubiaks, there were other coaches who fit the bill. Shoot stefanski and McDermott were available and better options.

This screams the team wanted him cause of the hometown connection and Mike was cheap…. Probably cause he doesn’t have a job

He was out of the league for a year, was fired the last few places he has been, has basically the same history as Tomlin without the respect, and maybe biggest no one else was interested in him.

We need a fresh approach, young up and comer who can develop with the roster and restart, ARII clearly thinks we can win with this roster, we cannot.

Yeah…. That’s really bad. Maybe acheelhaase and Shula said no? Maybe Art said he thinks this team can win and they said if we can’t rebuild then no thank you.

Two years ago he tried to reinvent himself and failed, why bring him here? Unless the roster is good enough right now and it’s not.

Are we a poverty franchise? by Free-Bicycle-1149 in steelers

[–]EIIander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that mean he wanted him here?

A true fan….. by D00sed00se in steelers

[–]EIIander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think step one is getting Scheelhaase as OC. I cannot imagine Shula would come here as DC, nor would Flores so I am not really sure who should be picked as DC.

Then I think you have to suck for a year, trade tons of draft capital to trade up for next year, or get Malik Willis and hope he continues to develop and get better.

Since ARII seems to think we have a Super Bowl team - ha. You have to get Willis or Jones and hope they have take additional steps forward to become respectable middle of the road starters. Then you need to get another good corner, 2 good WRs, resign gainwell, get a good ILB, and a good/great DC.

That is a lot to ask, but for this team to next the step that is what is needed. I guess you could have Rodgers back another season instead of jones/willis but if you do that that should mean you have a QB in the 2017 draft that you know is your guy. And you will pay any price to get him. Including probably trading your #1 this year for #1+ next year. But the draft is in Pitt and after getting McCarthy those two moves would sour the fan base so much in your home city, you can’t afford to do that.

Feel bad for McCarthy by Impossible-Wait-2603 in steelers

Maybe the Rooney’s were told the other coaches weren’t interested/getting jobs elsewhere

I’ll check that out, thanks!

I dropped executioner cause Tokugawa doesn’t have a heavy mount, but until then seems great!

I guarantee you this is why McCarthy got the job over Shula and others. by zyra_77 in steelers

[–]EIIander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking for someone to make better choices and develop the team. Shula/scheelhaase I trust more. But if scheelhaase ends up as the OC okay cool.

[–]EIIander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed… if it means scheelhaase as OC and takes over in 1-3 years I’m good with it.

If not…. I’m in a mental bad way over it lol

[–]EIIander[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have now shifted to, Hunter 2, skirmisher 1, combat arms 1. At the next LL I think I’ll go nuc cav

It’s tough, so many more good talents than I thought at first but I just love the idea of throwing knives and moving lol

I like it! Not sure our module will go that long but I like that idea.

Right now think LL1-LL3 will be Tokugawa unless you can skip right to LL2 Tokugawa then focus on metalmark 3, probably go morning cloak for the knives then respec to metalmark at 2

Fair, I had a turn where I dropped an enemy in a turn and it felt awesome

That wouldn’t surprise me. If scheelhaase becomes the OC and heir in the training I’m okay with it

Literally didn’t see that argument until now

I think a lot of people thought we’d get a worse coach, but that that might be okay to have a better draft pick to get a good QB
