The 2 most visceral woe-is-me negative thinking Panthers/Rhule/Tepper haters have their very own little 2-man circle jerk...

...no surprise

Beekeeping, check into it guys -- a tag team approach would probably be very effective

Dude, you didn't even know one of our "new coaches" was an internal promotion.

Have said it before, and will say it again: Try just being part of the conversation instead of trying to convince people you're smarter than everyone else, because you're not, and the only thing you're accomplishing this way is annoying people.

Tone it down and stop acting like you have some kind of inside insight (everyone knows you don't) and maybe people will go easier on you

Never alluded to anything of the sort one way or the other.  In fact, just made up the "7" number to see how you'd react

That you think I would care even a single solitary iota is likely the most laughable thing I have heard in the new year

Sure you did.

See, this is the kind of stupid sh-t that gets you laughed at.

Yes, you care. It's why even across numerous screen names you've constantly been trying to make people think you're a big deal that has insight or inside info. But everyone knows you're not. Hence, why you end up getting mocked.

Quit pulling that sh-t and you'll be way better off.

Hey, how does one italicize a word when using speech to text?

Hope you have a nice day...stay focused, you're off to a good start and it could be a banner day!

Cheers fellas...

PS: Gonna be a beautiful weather day, at least open the window for a while   Think I will take a 6-mile hike...

Hey, I tried.

When you continue to be an object of ridicule, don't say you weren't warned.

Oh I’m more worried because Morgan wants to leave already and just sign here last year. Tepper should have fixed this, and as fans we have a long, long season coming up!

Why would you not though...opportunity is opportunity take it while its there.

Here is how the Steelers’ interview list looks thus far, courtesy of PFR’s GM search tracker:

• Morocco Brown, college scouting director (Colts): Interviewed
• Ryan Cowden, vice president of player personnel (Titans): Interviewed Feb. 4
• Ed Dodds, assistant general manager (Colts): Interviewed Feb. 4
• Omar Khan, vice president of football and business administration (Steelers): Mentioned as candidate
• Dan Morgan, assistant general manager (Panthers): Interviewed
• Louis Riddick, former director of pro personnel (Eagles): Interview scheduled
• John Spytek, director of player personnel (Buccaneers): Interviewed
• John Wojciechowski, co-director of player personnel (Packers): Interviewed
• JoJo Wooden, director of player personnel (Chargers): Interviewed by Feb. 4

[Mr. Scot]

I think they're ultimately going to promote from within. Probably Omar Khan, though there's an argument to be made that Brandon Hunt would be a better choice.

7 top coaches with top NFL pedigrees have "agreed" to join the club...

...you should abandon ship pal -- jump on some other bandwagon that might bring you a modicum ofenjoyment, life's too short.

"Seven top coaches?" Yeah...not exactly.

Nobody else was looking to make Ben McAdoo their OC. Hell, for two years after his failure as a head coach he was out of football altogether. Even last year he was only a "consultant".

Among others, Kevin Gilbride Jr didn't "join",  he was an internal promotion. Also pretty sure you have no idea who Robert Kugler is or what he wants as hired for anyway, but he's an assistant to an assistant who got his job because Campen brought him along from his old job.

And Paul Pasqualoni? A "top coach"? Wow

Pasqualoni's never really been what anyone would call "a top coach" and definitely not now. He was basically just coasting into retirement with a "defensive consultant" spot on Dan Mullen's Florida teams before that staff got blown up.

As to the remainder, I like Chris Tabor, James Campen and certainly Steve Wilks, but let's not pretend the rest of the NFL was hot and heavy after nay of them. Wilks had minimal interest from one, mayb two teams. Not sure I recall Tabor or Campen getting interviewed at all.

Basically, even the good coaches who joined our staff weren't exactly in high demand.

So while I like at least some of the new staff, we don't exactly have a lot to crow about.

Plus it remains to be seen how they'll respond when they realize the head coach they're working under isn't actually qualified for his job.

...

Okay, I'm finished. You can now cite my post count or make a "cut and paste" joke since those seem to be the only responses you can think of

Maybe somewhere in the middle?

I think "7 top coaches" might be a bit of a stretch but even you Mr Scot, have to admit he probably did better than a lot of us thought going into it.  He definitely addressed what most felt was the biggest weakness of his previous coaches, lack of NFL experience.

I know McAdoo wasn't a sexy pick but overall, if I take my feelings about Rhule out of the equation, he seemed to add some quality coaches.

He definitely didn't go the buddy, buddy route that so many of you predicted going into it.

On a side note I'm actually really excited about the Campen hire, I'm a firm believer that a good O-line coach can make a substantial difference.  There is a reason that certain teams have quality O-lines year after year.

I've already talked about it elsewhere but I'll summarize my opinions here.

The coaches I'm excited about:

James Campen
Chris Tabor
Steve Wilks

The coaches I'm not so excited about but who I hope work out:

Ben McAdoo
Kevin Gilbride Jr

The coach that makes me wonder what the hell they were thinking:

Paul Pasqualoni

And the coaches that don't have enough info out there to know how to feel about them:

Joe Dailey
Robert Kugler
