    Steelers hire WR coach

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

      And? You think that was the main criteria?

      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.

                      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.

                              be wise to give the man a chance, he's coached multiple HOF WRs and TEs
                              ours is not to wonder why just invert and multiply...

                                  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.

                                      Let just hope it was better than Amos Jones hire but you right need to keep an open mind and will support all our steelers hires.

                                          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.

                                              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.

                                                  The initial 'Apparently you have to be from Pittsburgh to get a coaching job here' was stated in a joking manner as 3 of our last 4 new coaching hires are from Pittsburgh. Not sure what is getting everyone fired up.

                                                          If you guys don't like these old coaches call them up and tell them about it. Richard Manns phone number is 9 and Dick Lebeaus phone number is 3.

                                                          Heck, Bruce Arians was our receivers coach so by comparrison, this guy will be like having Vince Lombardi.
