Apparently you have to be a Pittsburgh native to get a coaching job here now.

And? You think that was the main criteria?Originally Posted by Mister Pittsburgh
Richard Mann actually has more ties to Tomlin than to Pittsburgh. He's a good coach with a track record. Hopefully he can instill some disciplined fundamentals into the guys left on the team.
Here's to hoping him and Antonio Brown make a potent combination and impact on the rest of the receiving corp.
Here comes the BOOM!
maybe having an older guy in the room will help get this group grounded.
So in addition to old players... were now getting old coaches who havent coached in years... seems legit.

Hey, if he can get us the 2011 stats then he's the...Man!
He looks like he might be older than Lebeau. He's rocking the skunk stripe.
Tomlin Crony who also been away from coaching for 3 seasons hope it pans out.
I'm so amazingly tired of reading about the supposed "Tomlin Cronies". As several have pointed out in various threads if this is a problem then you better start marking up EVERY OTHER COACH IN THE NFL! I'm pretty sure Tomlin knows how to Coach, he did win one of the most coveted Jobs in the NFL and has done a pretty damn good job all things considered with quite a bit of on and off the field adversity. Let's wait and see how this guy pans out but he has a strong track record and all the Monday morning qb's on this site don't unless we're talking about a propensity to B*tch and moan like grade school kids.
Exactly. Tomlin is going with someone he knows and has seen operate first hand who has a solid resume. Maybe he should just advertise the job in the Post Gazette or take someone elese's opinion on a coach he knows nothing about. The cronyism comments is just plain stupid talk. Every coach in the league has other coaches he has relationship with and either gives them jobs on their staffs or gets them jobs. It is exactly the same way in college. It's all about networks and having a network of people you know and trust.
"My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"
That cracked me up. Although, he'd still most likely get a Pittsburgher which seems to be a problem for some. Maybe he should go with the Wall Street Journal.
