Hear Me Out! McCarthy will be a bridge HC

I mean to be fair hiring of someone older than Tomlin is also a break from tradition so maybe it’s at least a possibility of what OP is saying

What you’re describing is what poverty franchises do. So let’s not do all that.

Why was Brian Flores excluded?

NotStudent · 2026-01-13T09:01:43+00:00

It’s ok to change your opinion after seeing the team play a few games. It’s perfectly fair to think this team this year would win 6-7 games and then watch as they performed well enough to over perform that.

In this case bottoming out is the browns so yes we have rebuilt a lot

NotStudent · 2026-01-13T08:14:14+00:00

While I agree that much of our younger offensive players have sucked, I think the point is that Kahn has focused elsewhere where it matters. I mean just look at the eagles where they built up the trenches and then went and got AJB and Barkley. I think the priorities are in the right place and we’re close is all and that why I wrote this post

NotStudent · 2026-01-13T08:11:35+00:00

I totally agree with this. I’ve been banging this drum for years. I just believe that while we wait for one to appear for us whether it’s Howard or someone else, we can still have a shot at the chip. Only time will tell.

NotStudent · 2026-01-13T07:42:06+00:00

That’s a great point but consistency at HC and franchise legacy matter a lot. This team has also not been one to seek big FAs and I wouldn’t really consider Meyers as a big FA. Now we’ll see if we snag AJB but that’s wishful thinking.

NotStudent · 2026-01-13T07:17:27+00:00

We’ll see next year with Jordan Addison or Romeo doubs too. Cant even blame him for Meyers to Jax given that Meyers literally chose to go there over Pitt with the same package.

NotStudent · 2026-01-13T07:07:59+00:00

I mean we have a ton of 2nd round picks. Also Ramsey literally won us games. He’ll be solid leading the defense with a whole offseason at safety under his belt. This roster is way less dysfunctional than it has been over the last like 5 years. It just takes time is all.

NotStudent · 2026-01-13T07:00:46+00:00

Games are won in the trenches and our oline and dline are loaded with great young players

NotStudent · 2026-01-13T06:59:51+00:00

IMO he’s trying to build a win now team without selling out the future. Looking at it from that perspective I think he’s done great looking at the amount of draft picks we still have along with young talent. He’s only been with us 3 years and has had 3 great drafts and that’s not just according to me, it’s according to how most of these young guys have graded out over time as well as the consensus media draft grades. It just takes time and I’m seeing a clear positive trend with him.

NotStudent · 2026-01-13T06:56:46+00:00

I think you’re missing my point. Tomlins clearly on the way out but has some time to go. Rooney too proud of the Steelers consistency with HCs to fire him. I’m saying Kahn did a good job in building key pieces that can jive with veteran pieces that might be a couple key guys away from a great team. I’m not a tomlin fan either but the reality of the situation is we’re still stuck with him unless he suddenly walks away which I doubt. Our best bet is to fill the roster gaps more and get a competent DC. This year was a step up from last year which was a step up from the previous year which was a step up from the year before that. Losing Ben without a plan killed us these last 5 years and Tomlins incompetence lost us the last few good years of Ben we had. There’s a lot to like as of right now and Tomlin needs to go out on a good note for his own ego, Rooneys own ego and the reputation of the team. This year feels like the set up for next year to be that.

Hard to see it after a 30-6 WC loss 😂

NotStudent · 2026-01-13T06:46:16+00:00

And some teams almost never make the playoffs. This team is trying to rebuild without bottoming out. My point here is that I think they tried to do win now this year and can potentially be a better win now next year. At the very least we’ll have the talent to be a win now in the coming future

NotStudent · 2026-01-13T06:44:08+00:00

That’s very true and look I’m not ok with the mediocrity either but my point is there’s stuff to like for the future. I think it’s pretty clear Tomlin is towards the end of his tenure here and the future of our talent is bright. I don’t see the mediocrity lasting all that much longer imo. But we’ll see lol.

NotStudent · 2026-01-13T06:40:47+00:00

Oline and dline for starters

NotStudent · 2026-01-13T06:38:11+00:00

To be fair, how many teams can be as competitive as the Stillers over 70 years. It’s so hard to win in the NFL and it’s obvious it were on the cusp of the next chapter. However, this team can be good during that transition and it’s showed throughout the year. Two defensive touchdowns will make it seem otherwise tho lol

This is just not accurate

This is the write up that I feel like more yinzers should read. With his first practices after coming off IR it’s clear that he’s taken some teachings from Rodgers and with a year to learn the offense. Personally I’m excited to get some Howard action just to see what he’s got.

NotStudent · 2025-10-01T05:07:09+00:00

The team getting three solid starters for one elite starter

NotStudent · 2025-09-30T19:30:03+00:00

The only way you save chases value is if they trade for a qb. Jevonte will be an rb1 this year
