well two years ago, I think it was 2017 Hines was here working with our WR's and the job was open, Tomlin hired someone else.

Yeah, Tomlin hired Richard Mann, an experienced and accomplished WR coach. If Hines does good he could always end up back in the Burgh down the road. Let him go cut his teeth out there in the league. I hope he does well.

A job is better than no job. Plus he can have front row seats in watching Bell meltdown.

I love Hines and believe he did a great job working with the younger receivers during his playing days and as a training camp intern with the Steelers a couple of years ago. I also like that he is getting a chance with the Jets and actually like when coaches work their way up from the college ranks with numerous jobs. The more systems and coaches you're exposed to, the more you learn.

Not sure how we replace his YPG receiving....

Great point, & good for Hines.

And we don't have the slightest clue that perhaps Hines wanted a job with the Steelers, but just wasn't offered one.

I'm pretty sure it was reported that he was a candidate for the WR coaching job here, also he worked a ton with JuJu in training camp when JuJu was a rookie. I was a training camp that year, and Ward was constantly talking with him.

I knew this

Looked familiar

I'm glad for Hines. Getting experience is absolutely necessary for a coach, regardless at what level. Eventually he could end up here or elsewhere but for now he is getting a chance. MOST here would want their respective chance as well, regardless of what level of team you played for or not.

Like our DC hiring (actual promoted from with in) I wanted outside organization hire, well now when it's time,..... We can hire outside the organization with Hines.




Salute the nation

Good for him. It doesn't matter that it's the Jets---hopefully, he teaches their WR's to knock out a few *'s DB's...
