Interviews for Steelers new head coach thread

[Punxsutawney]

I like Klay too but I wonder if last nights showing was a little ding. I despise blowouts so it is worth looking into.

I do know the 49ers were riddled with injuries so I wonder how much of that should be factored in as they still beat the Eagles…

I get it, but a team cannot base who they want to be their coach (hopefully for the next decade) on one game.

We'll know how serious they are or not about Klay over the next few days.

Either way, I doubt that beat down affects the Steelers decision one way or the other regarding him.

Shannahan has to own that more than any other 49ers coach.

I agree and I am sure they would look at everything more than my one game concern which is probably more of a knee jerk reaction.

Definitely doesn’t lessen my stance for wanting his brother to be interviewed too.

Very curious who the three to four other options will be. Or was Gerry just talking out of his arse once again..

I just think if they were that interested in Klint they would have taken the opportunity to interview him last week.

Klint and Klay are actually similar candidates in a lot of ways beyond just the bloodline.

Klint is obviously more experienced and accomplished as a coordinator, but they might see something in Klay's personality and approach that they prefer over Klint, for all we know.

They need to see something in Klint’s offense but I hear ya. They still lack offensive candidates. Wouldn’t hurt to bring him in.

The problem is if the Seahawks make it to the Superbowl, it could be three weeks before they could interview Klint just for the first time.

The Steelers were more than aware of that when they chose to spend their time this past week with his brother instead.

Klint just might not be on their radar, though I agree he probably should be.

The pool of desirable candidates will shrink quickly. Rooney really needs to move off the dime.

Yes show some urgency instead of acting like they are the smartest in the room.

They definitely need to narrow it down soon, and I suspect they will.

I don't see them waiting on Klint considering they already bypassed an opportunity to interview him.

If the Rams lose tonight, I can see a scenario where Shula, Scheelhaase and Klay are all in Pittsburgh this week and things get interesting really fast.

I like it.
