Whatever. I found out this week that Pegula isn't... Well it's been a disappointing week.@TFrankCarr I'm so sorry.

I bet. I have never liked Rivers. I know next to nothing about Pegula but that PC was not a good look.
Rivers is awesome. Pegula was less than impressive this week. It was like he was trying to do his best Jerry impression.
I guess you have to be able to show your willingness to endure pre-torture to demonstrate your ability to tolerate the real torture of being the Brown's HC
At this point, Steelers’ ownership is every bit as bad as Pirates’ ownership, and they don’t even have economics to use as an excuse like the Pirates do.
I guess that Rooney just couldn’t resist hiring a fellow Pittsburgh Irishman.
Sources: Steelers planning to hire Mike McCarthy as head coach
The Steelers are planning to hire former Cowboys and Packers coach Mike McCarthy as their next head coach, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter.

WTF.The McCarthy hire is a major disappointment. This doesn’t feel like an organization that has any forethought on how to start over with success. I’d rather they take a chance on a young, energetic guy like Shula than a washed up guy that was fired from his last job and has been unemployed for a bit. Very disappointing.
So, the Ratbirds get Minter and the Steelers get McCarthy. FFS.
McCarthy doesn’t seem to be an inspired hire. Ah, well. Good luck coping, my Steeler fan buddies.
I agree with the sentiment on this board, not excited by the McCarthy hire. He got canned in Dallas so what does that tell us? He's a decent coach but we need a transformation not incrementalization. Feels like more years of 9-8 or 10-7 irrelevancy.
Or said another way the Ravens hired a complete unknown with a coaching silver spoon the Steelers get a guy who earned everything he’s gotten including winning a Superbowl
Btw he didn’t get fired in Dallas
Fair points. McCarthy’s contract wasn’t renewed = fired. His best days were in Green Bay. That was a long time ago. He has the second oldest roster in the league. This coaching staff, front office, and roster need some young bloods. It’s stale. Hiring McCarthy is not an upgrade over Tomlin.
Not getting renewed is not the same as being fired. In fact it might be worse as you don’t get any free money. We’ll see if he’s an upgrade from Mike T. He might not be in 26 for the reasons you point to but I think he will be in 27

Someone said the younger guys were interested in analytics and more progressive coaching approaches and MM was the most likely to keep the status quo. As plausible a theory as any though you wonder how they ever ended up with Tomlin in the first place with such a backwards mentality.
