The Seahawks DL wasn’t good with Hurtt and the defense wasn’t good when he was DC.

He’s big and charismatic but he doesn’t seem like a great coach.

posted:

"We’ve had enough of this,” Rooney said, according to ESPN. “It’s time to get some wins; it’s time to take these next steps.”

"Certainly, there’s a resolve there and a determination there,” Rooney said. “And I think I said before, I think all of us that have been around for a little while are anxious to take this next step — and getting a little impatient — and we need to see the kind of improvement we all want to see. [Head coach Mike Tomlin] believes that as firmly as anybody else in the building.”

"The players still respond to Mike, and that’s No. 1,” Rooney said. “He still has the key characteristics that we saw when we hired him. He can keep the attention of a group of 20-year-olds for a whole season and keep them in the fight for the whole way."

"So, still feel good about Mike. Obviously if I didn’t, [we] would make a change, but if we didn’t think Mike was able to lead us to a championship, he wouldn’t be here, and that’s why he is here.”

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
I mean, their ceiling is the wildcard round until they get a QB worth a drat. Whether that's on the front office or on Tomlin not developing Pickett... Well, I'm certainly leaning the former there.

what can the Steelers realistically do to upgrade QB? Cousins and Brisette would be fairly simple to acquire, but Cousins will cost and Jacoby has a definite ceiling. no way Tampa lets Baker get away (and I’m not sure the Steelers would be the right team for him in any case, Pickens would ruin his vibe). Jameis or Minshew would be an upgrade over Pickett, but they'll win you just enough games to be disappointing

their best option is probably offering a second and ~2025 third for Fields? that might be fun

Tomlin wanted Pickett, and Tomlin didn't exactly do great things with even a Big Ben in his prime in the last decade.

Tomlin is a good coach, but I think at this point both sides need a fresh start.

Steelers are definitely on the shortlist of Fields destinations. The Bears obviously won't trade him within the division so the Vikings are out, which makes Steelers, Falcons, and maybe Raiders the most logical teams that are likely making changes at QB but not really in position to draft a promising prospect. Maybe Seahawks if the new coach isn't a believer in Geno.

I keep forgetting that Cousins' injury was an achilles. It's not a guarantee at all he's even ready or playing close to 100% to open the season, Rodgers' poo poo about how recovering from an achilles tear is actually very easy and he totally could have won every game if he wanted to notwithstanding. Makes investing in him even riskier than it would have been.

Also Kirk Cousins has somehow earned over $230 million in his career, god drat. Amassing exactly 1 playoff win lol.

Big dude aside, Hurtt started as the DL coach for Seattle when they were pretty bad then was promoted to DC, when they basically ranked 31st on a lot of key metrics (3rd down stops was awful). I don't think he's a good coach, but definitely good he's not DC anymore.

One of the best examples of betting on yourself and it working out I can think of. He played three straight one season contracts with Washington didn't he? And then got that sweet Vikings contract after that.

...and he's Kirk Cousins.

Only 2 1 year deals with Washington but Kirk was forced to bet on himself, and it's worked out amazingly:

$2.5m - 4 year rookie deal combined.
$20m - Franchise tag
$24m - Franchise tag #2
$84m - 3 year Vikings deal
$66m - 2 year extension
$35m - 1 year extension.

If Daniel Jones is making 40MM a year it's hard to argue that Cousins isn't worth 45.

I mean pretty much regardless. There's just no one willing to actually sit on that middle tier, so you either pay near $40m or find yourself in hell

78 - 5 year Rookie deal, traded to Eagles
35 - 2 year Eagles deal, traded to Vikings
16 - 2 year Cardinals deal, $40m in total, he only saw one year's worth though.

Responsible for a fairly robust $31m in dead cap money across 5 different seasons due to all the trades / getting cut, so that's rather impressive.

Anyone know what the deal is with Weaver? Generally speaking defensive line coaches only get hired to be DCs by defensive head coaches that are otherwise running the show and are friends with the guy, because they lack like- coverage stuff which is kind of important. Has anyone else been connected with him?

Yeah Spotrac says $130m which seems like a lot for a dude who played like half of his possible games and peaked at "meh". The rookie contract so bad that the next CBA made it impossible to repeat! Also that trade to the Vikings was a desperation play where they sent a first rounder for him because Bridgewater's knee exploded like a week before the season. To be fair he did manage to play a full season (for the last time) and it was probably his best statistical year. Ended 8-8 and missed the playoffs though, lol.

First overall pick, record setting contract, never even made a pro bowl. The early 2010s Rams did some wild poo poo (sup Tavon Austin)

Results are mixed. His use of talent in Atlanta was baffling. But maybe his Tennessee game plan of a run heavy offense with liberal play action will work better with the personnel in Pittsburgh, though Rudolph is probably worse than Tannehill and they don’t have a Derrick Henry.
