Everest out as ST coordinator

Pittsburgh will always be Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood...not Captain Kangaroo's.

Seriously, though...it is interesting that Amos Jones survived the Bob Ligashesky era and now the Al Everest era.

I swear I was thinking the same thing when I saw his picture on PFT. When you put them side-by-side, not so much.

I grew up watching Captain Kangaroo on TV but I am amazed at just how creepy he looks in that picture...even by 1970's standards.

With all apologies for kick a man while he's down, I think Al's picture also adds a little credence to my porn crack. He just has that perverted look in his eyes.

Most people with staches look a little creepy.

I think it might have something to do with the fact that you cannot tell whether or not the Captain actually has ears or not. Has to be one of the most unique haircuts in TV history...

I wonder if Amos Jones has ever worn Green Jeans or talked to a Moose?





Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me
I've nothin' to do

[calmkiller]

the official word will be that Al Everest "retired"

You beat me to it.

Tomlin might not have been happy with the return game, but does anyone remember the state of affairs with our STs BEFORE Everest arrived? I happen to think he did a good job turning around a previously sorry unit that seemed to regularly give up big returns.

Yup. Must have been something bad.

(Good song reference, Ruth!).

Steelers Announce Coaching Staff Changes

The Pittsburgh Steelers have terminated the contract of special teams coordinator Al Everest, the team announced today. Assistant special teams coach Amos Jones will assume all of the special teams responsibility, effective immediately.


“We are continually evaluating our coaching staff and support staff, and we have decided to go in a different direction with respect to the coaching of our special teams,” head coach Mike Tomlin said. “I want to thank Al for his contributions and efforts, and I wish him well in the future.”


Everest joined the team in 2010 as the special teams coordinator.

Tomlin was disappointed with the return game? Didn't Brown make the pro bowl last year as a return man?

[SanAntonioSteelerFan]

Was Captain Kangaroo the guy who was pawned for porn a few years ago?

More like Captain Jack if so!

I was thinking the same thing... Brown's jersey is in Canton for having 1,000 yards returning and 1,000 yards receiving. Something stinks...lol

Everest did turn around an awful unit. When Ligashesky was the ST coordinator, the coverage teams and return units were abysmal.

Wonder if Tomlin's considering firing Koogs?

My suspicion is that this has nothing to do with job performance.
