    I would vote for Clements faster than I would vote Osama out of office, and believe me we are talking light speed here. However I think he would be the hardest to get. Second choice would be Fichtner.

    My write in candidate would be Clyde Christensen.

      Tomlin is reportedly interested in talking to Hue Jackson now, per Alby Oxenreiter.

        I saw that on Steelersdepot.com as well. In my absolutely worthless couch surfing opinion JAckson would be a far better fit than Haley.

          No thanks on Clyde. I got a first-hand look at him running the offense in Tampa and he was very unimaginative.

          I'd take Fichtner or Clements in a heart beat.

            Well, considering that he was working with Brad Johnson, I think he was probably limited in what he wanted to do...

            I believe that the year Christiansen was OC, Johnson set a franchise record for completions and Keyshawn Johnson set a franchise record for receptions...

              Clyde was only there one year, so there's not a huge body of evidence to have too much of a definitive opinion. I was around the team quite a bit however, and I just remember how vanilla the guy's offense was. He did pass it a lot more though, so you could be right about those records.

              This is such a huge hire that I don't want to settle for average or competent. We need someone who philosophically meshes with the vision Tomlin and Rooney have, but also a coach who is creative and has an established track record as strong strategist or getting the most out of his talent.

                I also believe that Gruden called all of their plays that year. I don't know how big of an influence Christiansen had on the offense since Gruden doesn't seem to be a guy who likes to delegate.

                I like that they are at least interviewing Jackson. I think he could be a very good offensive coordinator and the Oakland experience has probably soured him on wanting the HC position again
                As many on this site think ... The Rooney's suck, Colbert sucks, Tomlin sucks, the coaches suck, and the players suck.

                but Go Steelers!!!

                  Christiansen was the OC before Gruden took over as HC...

                  When Gruden came aboard, he retained the defensive staff and some of the offensive staff while Christiansen and Caldwell went with Dungy to Indianapolis...

                    A source tells me that Mike Tomlin may be interested in talking to recently-fired #Raiders HC Hue Jackson about the #Steelers off coord job.

                      I think I'm going to go with Fichtner as my choice. I see a lot of similarities with what he had to work with in Memphis and what we have in Pittsburgh. I just hope we invest in the line to make the most out of what will be a similar offensive philosophy.

                      Wallace, Brown and Sanders make one heck of a 3 receiver set.

                        Fichtner = Arians Lite

                        Lets get some new blood.

                          Really?

                          Mularkey = Gilbride Lite?

                            Gilbride's problem wasn't being unable to reign in his QB and dictate the offense he wanted executed. Glibride was too smart for our QB.

                              Gilbride's problem was that he wasn't smart enough to work with the QB that he had...in many ways, Gilbride had the same "square peg/round hole" problem that many here think Arians had in Pittsburgh...

                              But, that had no bearing upon what Mularkey did with the OC position and Arians has no bearing upon what Fichtner may or may not do if given the opportunity at the OC position...
