Think any of these guys would make a good DC in Pittsburgh?



Someone like Wade Phillips probably wouldn't want to make a lateral move.

Spagnuolo as DC would be intriguing. I didn't realize Wade Phillips is 71.

He's getting up there. Could get Rex Ryan to coach in his bare feet. :chuckle:

How about John Fox? I really hope they can get a young sharp guy, I liked Josh Conklin out of Pitt but I think he has a HC job at some college now

Del Rio can run a defense. He'd be an improvement.

There’s a lot of guys on that list that would be an upgrade over Keith Butler. The fact that both Butler and Smith are still employed leaves me unsettled. This team will suffer it’s first “losing season” under Tomlin in 2019 if the coaching staff stays as is...

I have always like Herm Edwards. I like to believe that he is a straight shooter. He is alert. Two characteristics Tomlin doesn't possess.

Me too.

I didn't realize Wade was an assistant w/the Oilers in the Earl Campbell era. I know he's Bum's son but I didn't really pay attention to Wade's name until the late 80s w/Denver.

That list is a recipe for old ideas that the 2019 and forward NFL will chew up and spit out.

Adapt or die. Hiring one of those dated retreads for anything is the same as just keeping Butler and Tomlin.

McCarthy is the best name on the list and he tends to run out of play calls by the 4th quarter. Seriously, the Pack runs the same stuff 2-4 times a game.

Thats about how I feel. Id really like to get a sharp young guy from college. It wouldn't surprise me if Butler is still here in 2019

I want HC Urban Meyer, DC Greg Schiano, and OC Hugh Freeze. Was gonna put Bobby Patrino but couldn’t even in jest. All players are to be choir boys and team first and only guys though. I do not want to win games if the players are out there jaywalking like they own the street.
