Igo or anyone in the know. We are clearly going for an offensive head coach. With Fangio and Patricia being retained who in the world is an option at defensive coordinator????

I would assume an up and coming positions coach that the future head coach is acquainted with.

He was terrible at Arkansas and just looks good because of Bill. I wouldn't like this

Eh.....a lot of pretty good coaches have been beaten by Arkansas. Bielema was very successful at Wisconsin. I am going to say that the issue with Arkansas is probably more Arkansas than some of their coaches.

Couple of items on the GM side...

Being reported that Tepper is reaching out to several executives with the Patriots (Jason LaCanfora)

Quote

Panthers owner David Tepper wants to speak to several coaches and executives who have ties to the Patriots organization as well, sources said, with Caserio a strong candidate to oversee personnel in Carolina as well. Tepper has retained general manager Marty Hurney, who is assisting in the coaching search, but wants to restructure his front office and will making multiple hires to do so. Hurney's title could change through that transition.

Last offseason Tepper was among those who reached out to former Patriots executive Jack Easterby as well, sources said, with a pursuit of him not out of the question either. Easterby is currently the Texans executive vice president of team development, but his unique skill set and background could make him a candidate for numerous positions depending on how a team utilized its front-office structure.

And there's speculation he's ready to throw "a lot of money" at Kevin Colbert (Pittsburgh Post Gazette)

Quote

Colbert’s contract runs through the 2020 draft. He could come back for another season, but he hasn’t committed to it. He could retire at 63 and live a more stress-free life. There also has been speculation that Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper — a Pittsburgh native, former Steelers partner and billionaire — will throw a lot of money at him to become the Panthers’ general manager.

Caserio, Colbert and others are under contract through the next draft.

So what's that got to do with the head coach?

Tepper has said that the head coaching hire will have input on the front office hires. A hire like Josh McDaniels would lean heavily toward a Patriot infusion. None of the others really have those sorts of ties with anyone in the Steelers office.  Greg Roman might harken back to some former Panther guys like Ryan Cowden though.
