I wouldn’t be surprised if a Leftwich gets added to the offense either…

he hasnt been coaching all that long 3-4 years and for what I can tell he made no real impact in doing so ..hopefully I am wrong but I am not all that excited about this
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now
Carroll has been really positive about Curry as a coach...but that is what he is supposed to say.
I like that they are adding some youth to the staff.

Alright! Let's GO! Now, let's get him some LBs to coach.

That would be a nice consolation prize.
Found this interesting.

Putting good coaches with good players is usually a recipe for success.
not to rain on the Parade but why would Seattle let his contract expire and let him walk if he was so revered there ( on a defense that ranked 26th in the league in points allowed, 30th in rushing yards per game allowed , 25th in points allowed , 26th in total yards allowed ..... it goes on and on ..... so again I am not impressed if he was so highly regarded that they let him walk and kept guys who must have been even worse ??? sorry I am not impressed
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now
The Seahawks wanted to keep him according to a report in Seattle(he was still under contract I believe), but the Steelers gave him a promotion
and if they wanted to keep him all they needed to do was to offer him and equal or more promotion ... again from a defense that was meandering at close to league lows vs the run , points etc it doesnt bode well for his coaching ability considering Linebackers are your primary run stoppers in a 3-4 and hybrids of
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now
2 players had career high in sacks under him, so maybe he's not that bad.... In fact you know very little about him in terms of coaching so we should wait to see how things are going before jumping in the conclusion immediately....
how about this ... stat guy Daniel knows very little about him too ....
in fact he wasnt even a linebackers coach in Seattle ... he was an assistant D-Line coach
so who got the most of those players the assistant or the pos coach >???

Maybe he wanted to leave…
if he was still under contract it doesn't really matter what he "wants"
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now
If his name was "Random Coach" and he wasn't linked to being an NFL Draft bust....would you feel this negatively about him?
I mean the stats on Pat Meyers' previous stops were just as bad and everyone was totally excited about his hire because he gave some nice quotes. Same with Klemm. One of those guys was mediocre and one was terrible.
So Curry has a pretty broad spectrum to fall into...
These teams give permission for coaches to interview and take promotions all the time while under contract. I think you are thinking too much into it. Why didn’t the Eagles try to keep their OC and DC? They could’ve paid them HC money and gave them a better title…that’s the extreme case but if they really wanted to keep them, they could have made an offer…
Some of the “bust players”/“less talented players” are some of the better football minds…

I can’t believe there is already debate on whether or not this was a good hire. New LBs coach? Let’s get him some LBs and see how it goes.

Tomlin not afraid to make those big bold moves that get you over the top.

Not surprise they moved on from Olsavsky. Since he took over the LB coaching job in 2015, the ILB group have been a weakness, Shazier injury or not.
1. Graham Barton, C, Duke 2. Ricky Pearsall, WR, Florida 3. Maason Smith, DT, LSU 3. Max Melton, CB, Rutgers 4. Blake Fisher, OT, Notre Dame 6. Tommy Eichenberg, ILB, Ohio State 6. MJ Devonshire, CB, Pittsburgh
Only so long you can blame it on the Shazier Injury. The bigger fail IMO was the miss on Devin Bush.
Array title="pczach has a reputation beyond repute">
They took a big swing and they missed with Bush. Losing Shazier to that horrible injury is what made them think they had to do it, but he wasn't the guy.
I was never a fan of the pick. I know he got injured but I never believed he was going to be a very good NFL player before the injury. Just a gut feeling watching him play in college where he wasn't doing what they were asking him to do at the pro level. He lacked the toughness and violence that is required to play the position well. It never made sense to me to take him that high.
The Shazier situation is maybe the biggest what if for the steelers since they don't draft Marino in 1983
