No thanks. Keep him at OC.
OC? He's the line coach, and he has like, 5 teams wanting him to be their head coach.
There is nothing we can do. If dude wants to be a hc he’s gone
RightI get that. It would be a huge blow to a side of the ball we need FEW changes on if he goes.
I meant O-line, don't know why I said OC though.
We can't let any changes happen to the offensive side of the ball. We need everyone on that side to stay the same. Changes to something that doesn't need to be changed won't be very good. I get that we can't control if he leaves or not, but let's at least do everything we can to not let him go.
so, what? we gonna give an O-line coach head coach-level pay to keep him around? you really think the Steelers, of all teams, would do that? The only way he sticks around is if he doesn't want any part of a head-coaching position, and he considers his spot as a O-line coach to be his "life's calling".
Well first off, I never said to pay him like a head coach. Don't know where you got that from. Also, nobody knows how badly Munchak wants to be a head coach aside from Munchak. He was the HC at Tennessee and we saw how good that worked out. Being an O-line coach seems to be his specialty. He was the o-line coach for Tennessee for 13 years before becoming the head coach. Now, he's been the O-line coach for us for 4 years. If he wants to be an HC, more power to him. But he is anywhere near on the fence about leaving vs. staying, I would offer him some more money to sweeten the deal and maybe ensure that he stay. Why wouldn't we want to do that?
hey, i'm just putting out what i believe to be a logical set of circumstances surrounding munchak right now. my assumption is that the mean-level pay for someone like a line coach (which is essentially an assistant to an assistant coach) is far less than to be the captain of the ship. sooo, if he's getting all this interest from what, 4 or 5 teams? and they want him to be the "captain of their ship", he is looking at a situation that he might never see again in his lifetime, to increase his compensation by quite a bit. and the Steelers aren't a team known for groveling to a particular coach to stay around at his current position, "no matter the cost". hey, i hope he stick around too, he's been great for us, but at some point you have to look at the reality of the situation.
tomlin isnt going anywhereBill Belichick and Pete Carroll didn't do so well in their first HC jobs in the NFL either. Same goes for Mike Shanahan. The Steelers need a change and they need it today.
tomlin isnt going anywhere
it is what it is. We can constantly bring freak out for months, or accept that tomlin is staying.And that's part of the HUGE problem we have in the locker room.
