Mike McCarthy

[Blaster]

The Steelers hit a home run with the hiring of McCarthy. The guy has a winning record with two franchises and also a Super Bowl ring. I'd much rather have him than John Harbaugh.

 

[Blaster]

I see the Steelers as legitimate Super Bowl contenders in 2026.

 

[MarathonMike]

I don't know about SB contenders with that old team but they will be more competitive, I believe. The Ravens firing Harbaugh and their pick is curious. Lamar must not have liked Harbaugh is all I can figure.

Who is their QB? The ancient Rodgers? And who else?

Totally agree. I don't understand why he's getting so much negative press.

The Steelers have had many many years of being pretty good. To become great they will need to commit to rebuilding which often takes at least a couple of really bad years.

Will Howard from Ohio State just might be a better QB than people give him credit for. He won a National Championship for the Buckeyes and was instrumental in their record run in the playoffs a year ago.

I think he’s a good hire, but Pittsburgh is still looking for a Quarterback. Aaron Rodgers ain’t going to cut it.

Not so sure about that, he's 62, won't coach for another 5 years, this is a temp which
goes against the steelers coach rotation dating back some 50 years or so

I doubt that. I watched him play for 5 years at Kansas State. He's a bridge QB at best.

Harbaugh has a ring. Harbaugh has a winning record. If the Steelers had picked Harbaugh, it would have been just as much of a good choice.

NCAAF champ QB Howard from OHIO State. Hopefully not MOE Howard from Three Stooges, or ancient Rogers.

Remember MAC teams lost playoffs. Once down 38-3 in a home playoff game to non-SB team GB. Lost to SF every time?

Boring, safe reg season choice. A White Tomlin is all. Wondering if the black players want to play hard for him? Or?

He's had an excellent record with both Green Bay and Dallas.

In Green Bay he had Favre, then Rodgers.

Yep.
It helps to have a Hall of Fame QB.
Looks like he might have Rodgers for one more year.

Rodgers can still fling it, but the legs are gone, and they need a top pass protecting OL.

He got 12 reg season wins out of DAK every year at DAL? Maybe gave SF one good playoff try?

Without question. They'd better have a damn good draft or pull off some trades.

They both are good coaches.

 

[leftwinger]

They both are good coaches.

Yeah? People see new young hotshot coaches come in and make the SB right away or have thrilling playoff games. West coast coaches or now CHI, LaFluer, Cohen JCKVILLE even MIA was new and exciting once. The poor DET coach went to pieces w/o his OC. So does PHI now on #6 in 6 years?

Then we see 20 year old coaches with a so-so playoff record in 25 tries. Then they go ugh....OK I guess? How many chances di they expect to get?

Andy Ried went to pieces w/o his OC too. Andy was so-so at PHI for a long time too. Maybe find a good OC and hire them at top dollar? To be the OC or coach?
