    I don't mind if he goes to Pittsburgh, they actually need an offensive mind as their defense is old, expensive and has peaked.  Tomlin covered a lot of holes in that organization that will now be apparent.

    The thing is, and it pains me to write this, it just doesn't appear the Steelers are ever truly going to suck. They just hired McCarthy, who's pretty solid IMHO.

    The hire of  Mike McCarthy means several more years of 10-7 or 9-8, QB purgatory and early playoff exits. As a Browns fan, actually pleased they did this as they really needed a rebuild with a 3-14 season to be competitive in the next decade.

    I'd like to see Pittsburgh, Baltimore, & Denver go 3-14 for the next 10-20 years lol.

    I don't know. Everytime we Browns fans think the Steelers are sliding away, they don't.

    He's like the junior varsity version of Tomlin IMO + 3 beers meaning he'll either make it to the last week of the regular season with a chance to make the playoffs if someone loses or he'll win to get in.  They'll still lose in the 1st round. They don't have the best Rooney any more either.

    Well said AP1! If we could ever get Jimmy's 2 brain cells on speaking terms - we'd have a GM that can accurately assess talent at Offensive Tackle positions and interior OL positions.  We're only as good as the apex of the organization so I'll ask - "Dysfunction junction what's your function?"  I'll help - take inventory of the HC candidates that don't consider Andrew Berry as someone worthy of answering to.

    That's interesting, because from what I've seen from Steelers fans online this news was met with very little enthusiasm. 

    An older, expensive defense and possibly another year of an even older Aaron Rodgers.

    They probably won't suck, but I can't see how this moves the needle for them out of "fringe playoff contender who if they get in will get knocked out in the first round" purgatory.

    True, but it's doubtful they sink to the depths of 3-14 like the team we all love to follow.

    Their ownership family won't allow it - but there is a visible drop-off from Art Rooney to the Rooney that inherited the Steelers.

    I won't speak for the fanbase, but I did see Joe Haden and James Harrison discussing it in their podcast and Haden wasn't impressed.

    He said he didn't want a re-tread.

    How generous you are with brain cell estimates, Flugel. 

    Conversely, Schoolhouse Rock ain't bailing us out of this one!
