clearly if the steelers want to keep him they are going to have to make some promises and increase duties and $$$'s

Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now
It’s really up to Flores and how badly he wants to be a HC. The issues he had in Miami, maybe the Cardinals organization isn’t all that appealing. Broncos? Colts? What are the options?
I don't think the goal was to ever keep Flores on staff here.
The goal was to allow the guy to coach and earn another shot somewhere.
I’m not sure AZ is his best bet to get back in to head coaching. They are pretty quick to eject an HC that doesn’t get immediate results. This will be interesting.
If anyone thought we were keeping him for any sort of long-term gig, they were fooling themselves. He got a relatively decent coaching job for a year and an audition for a return to head coach or similar positions. We hopefully learned some things from him in the meantime. That was always the deal, unless something wild happened like our own head coaching job opened up.
See you Space Cowboy ...
We all knew this was gonna happen. He's someone who's had success as a HC, didn't expect him to stick around here for long. We only got him because of the controversy around him initially. As soon as the smoke cleared he's as good as gone.

Shame we can't trade coaches for draft picks . . . or can we?
well you can , but its normally head coaches and I am not so sure the guy you are trying to trade will want to coach for you if you cant broker the deal and he likely wont want to go someplace that is short handed in draft picks as they like to put their own mark on the roster as much as possible .... ( Gruden was traded from raiders to Bucs )
its common practice if its a better job that the team allows them to advance for a lateral move I am not so sure

Flores is the kind of person who'll want to create and use his own system, and wouldn't have an easy time agreeing to be a stooge (like his issues with Miami), so DC is probably out of the question. We promote from within only under the right circumstances, and Flores is sadly over-qualified for coordinator consideration, where the only path upward would be Head Coach, and I honestly wouldn't be opposed to this, but we're not doing that. (BTW, yes I just copy/pasted an earlier quote from myself and edited it.)

People say that all the time about contracts and sometimes its true and sometimes its not. If they draft well and the cap increases as predicted, it's not as big an issue as some may think. Wilson's contract is only 9.8% of the cap. Brady when he won the Super Bowl with Tampa as 12.7%. Manning was 18.8% of cap in 2009 and 14.6% with Denver. Most recently, Stafford was 10.96%.
When Wilson's cap spikes, they will be in the midst of the new TV contracts and increased salary cap and if theyve drafted well, it shouldn't be an issue. age could be but roster structure may not be. 2026 is the worst case scenario as if they let him go there (which looks to be the out area), it looks like its a $31.2M cap hit.

A lot of that team playing poorly was because Russell's play was at Trubisky-level suckitude for most of the season.
It was a horrible deal and the Broncos got fleeced. Are you forgetting the draft picks they gave up? I guess a guy like Payton could look at it as a challenge, but the deck is going to be stacked against anyone who takes the Broncos HC job, at least in the near term.
After weeks of negotiations, in one of the biggest trades in NFL history, the Denver Broncos have agreed to send a significant package of players and draft picks to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.
The Broncos have agreed to trade quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, defensive lineman Shelby Harris, two first-round picks (2022 -- No. 9 overall -- and 2023), two second-round picks (2022 -- No. 40 overall -- and 2023) and a 2022 fifth-round selection to the Seahawks for Wilson and a 2022 fourth-round pick, sources said.
I’m not convinced that Flores leaves the Steelers this year for just any DC position. He wants to be a HC and he likely has as good of a chance hanging with the Steelers another year as being a DC for a bottom dweller.
He will not be with the Browns as DC.....

Hackett was just awful....It was his first game and it was not better after that....

Hope he doesn't coach for the Browns, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy

Why let him go? Maybe he’s better than Austin. From KP’s interview he’s been helping him out too, maybe he’s better than Canada as well
I see if he gets a HC job well receive 3rd round comps in the next 2 drafts. At least it's something, considering the chance of Tomlin actually developing an internal candidate for outside hore seems pretty low, well almost Nil
