I was hoping this wouldn't go anywhere but it's not looking good :Cry:

So he'll go there, to get fired within 3 years?

They have a no QB, and are not in position to draft one.

We'll see no drop off, Shaun Sarrett is a great coach.

If Munchak goes, he’s stated that he’s taking Sarrett with him.

If he leaves, hire Faneca.

Munch turned down the 2nd interview, but I doubt Sarrett would go anywhere.

Don't see a reason why he would want to anyway.

LOL - Munchak knows that franchise is heading for a major rebuild with an owner not known for his patience

Cards the least attractive HC job out there

Maybe he thinks he can replace Haley as OC?

[Craic]

Or, Rooneys spoke to him about the Steelers OC job and he decided to stay put and not uproot home and family.


EDIT: Oops, maybe I should have read your whole post first, AD. :chuckle:

I think he is close to a ring and wants to finish the job.

He is close to his O-line.

I also think Ben coming back had an impact. (Maybe Ben's text did help persuade him. :chuckle: )

YES! YES! YES!

[pczach]

I wonder if it's possible that Fichtner takes over at OC, and Munchak maintains his OL duties but also gets a bump to assistant head coach with more overall team responsibilities and a super steady voice in the coach's head and the locker room?

Was the timing convenient when you did the first interview? :noidea:

IMO Haley leaving and getting some sort of enhanced job title/responsibilities (assistant head coach?) made the timing to leave less convenient

Very pleased coach Munchak is staying

Excellent news,

[fansince'76]

Best news all week.

[Hawkman]

Wait....I thought we were going to fire everyone.:peep:

[Shoes]

I'm so happy he's staying in Pittsburgh!

Good news.
