I just mentioned the idea that Florio was batting around regarding head coach trade. i am not saying it applies. I agree with you that Steelers value the idea that coaches serve for a long time.

As a fan of the Chiefs during the years of 2006-2008, I would say that sending draft picks for a head coach is actually OVERutilized.

Apparently nothing. Aaron said he kissed an made up with Gutekust.

I have no idea to what degree or if that statement is accurate or if that means Aaron is for sure going to play out the rest of his contract in GB.

But as it is, they don't really have to do anything since he IS under contract this year. The only power Rodgers has over them is holding out if he's not traded to a team he finds acceptable, and even then, I doubt the Packers are going to instantly cave into those demands. They're probably going to keep trying to massage his frustrations awhile into the offseason. Is that smart? Probably not, but given what we've seen out of that franchise this entire time, it's probably what they're going to do.

No doubt the Steelers love stability but maybe it's a good time with Big Ben and the decline of team.

They really didn't deserve a playoff spot this year but they got in last minute.

The issue is that it is Aaron Rodgers and one cannot predict what he will actually do, regardless of what he says. Maybe everything is smoothed over and all goes forward with out a hick up. Maybe all is smoothed over and something pushes one of his buttons one day and a hold out happens. I just wouldn't rely on his word is all.

If Rodgers wins the Superbowl or even makes it may be the deciding factor if he wants to stay or go.

Not yet but I'm thinking about starting right after I vacuum my house.

I would certainly consider that appeasing factor.

If they should happen to lose to Frisco this week does he get all agitated again?

He has to be... He said the Steelers WR were getting old and that Tomlin would help Dak. The exact opposite of what reality is.

Tomlin gets a lot of praise for never having a losing record… but that seems like a low bar for a storied franchise such as Pittsburgh who had a HOF-caliber QB and top level talent for most his coaching tenure with the Steelers.

Seems like more should be expected than simply finishing above 8-8.

OP definitely having a bad day.

Tomlin now been there as long as Cowher was. Tomlin with the better overall record.

Did he, though?

I was always of the belief that he was told he can resign or be fired. I believe the Chiefs made it clear that he would not be coaching the team the following season and had the decency to let him exit on his own terms due to his service to the franchise.

Good memory! I had to look that up. 4th round pick that Jets used for Leon Washington, who had some good games for them.
