Taking a "lateral promotion"? I get the family ties thing but I'm thinking this is Mike Munchak's way of saying: "Enough of this circus, I'm history".
We thought we were in the clear on Munchak: Sorry gotta post it....

A move to a lateral position tells you everything you need to know - he wants out of the burgh!
“Lets keep blaming a symptom like Brown or Bell rather than the problem”- every damn low IQ goober in the Pittsburgh sports media....

Yep. And he grew up in Scranton and played for Penn State. Must be really bad.
but, it will be mentioned it was because of family and no mention of the Romper Room atmosphere.
I guess the Steelers didn't do everything they could to retain him.

Holy ****, the one coach we just should not have lost goes to ******* Denver.
Could we not have promoted him to assistant head coach with additional responsibilities, challenges, timeouts?
******* keeps getting worse but we keep Danny Boy Smith and Butler. Unbelievably dysfunctional.

I can't believe Art let him walk.
So let me get this straight. They let the ONLY coach worth keeping go while keeping all the other trash?? Make sense. No wonder they underachieve year after year.

Well, what’s ******* next boys? Ben says I’m done? One could hardly blame him and then we’ll see how good a job Cool Shades does. I’m now in a ****** up mode after this latest stupid loss.

That would be the cherry, whipped cream and jimmies on the sundae.
Maybe they didn't let him leave, he wasn't under contract and maybe he turned down a new contract

same difference. Guy sees the **** show and wanted out (for a lateral move). Its a disgrace
The best coach on the team and he takes a lateral move. I heard his daughter lives in Denver so that may have been a big factor, but fuckity ****.

Family? did he just get one? this is a poor excuse
I'm not buying the family bullshit excuse. He has enough money to move his family anywhere, and he could've made a move for Denver before now. He wanted out, plain and simple, and took a LATERAL ******* move! Anybody who can't see this is a direct result of Tomlin has their heads planted firmly up their *****.
Honestly, we don't know squat. But Steeler mgmt is smarter than we often give them credit for.

Thanks Rooney/Tomlin for making a joke out of a once proud franchise. You've now got coaches leaving in lateral moves just to get out of the **** show.
Yes, a daughter and grandchild, that lives in Denver. He's how old, has a chance to get a raise, do what he loves, and lives near his daughter and grandchild. I can't fault him.

Tom, they are saying on 93.7 The Fan that Broncos sweetened the pot and gave him more money. We could have done that.
Have to wonder if he just wanted out of this sinking ship.
Well we just announced Munch’s replacement. His longtime assistant Shawn Surrett. Not sure on spelling.

Yeah I'm listening to those asshats too, we can't offer his family though, if he was going to stay he would've re-upped before the season

Yeah maybe! I suppose we won’t know for sure. Hopefully his assistant learned well from Munch.
Yeah these two guys on 93.7 the sky is falling.

Usually the Coaches the want to keep they resign before their contract runs out, I wouldn't think they'd be that stupid to not attempt to resign him
