Report: Steelers Were Interested In Tom Clements As Next Offensive Coordinator

By Dave Bryan on Friday, February 3rd, 2012 | No Comments

Not surprisingly, It was announced yesterday that the Green Bay Packers named Tom Clements their new offensive coordinator. Clements had been the Packers quarterbacks coach since 2006 and was the obvious choice to replace Joe Philbin, who left to become the head coach of the Miami Dolphins after the 2011 season. Clements, who previously served as the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks coach under Bill Cowher from 2001-2004, was instantly considered a candidate to come back to Pittsburgh to be the new offensive coordinator, should he not get promoted by the Packers.

Don’t Count Out Koogs

By Jeremy Hritz on Thursday, February 2nd, 2012 | 7 Comments

By Jeremy Hritz Jim Irsay, who is becoming more eccentric with each passing day, and the Indianapolis Colts wasted no time in hiring a replacement head coach for Jim Caldwell. Nor did they hesitate in hiring a new offensive coordinator. Within eight days, Chuck Pagano, one-time defensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens, was hired to replace Caldwell, with the embattled and “retired” Bruce Arians following a few days later. Some Steelers’ fans may be looking at the Colts with envy, not because the history and tradition of the Colts’ franchise, but because of the swiftness that Read more [...]

WPXI Sports Director Alby Oxenreiter reports via Twitter that Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Tom Clements has not heard from the Pittsburgh Steelers about their offensive coordinator opening.

By Dave Bryan on Monday, January 23rd, 2012 | 8 Comments

File this report in the “doesn’t mean crap” category but it is my duty to pass along the report by Jason La Canfora on Twitter today that stated former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians has had talks with other NFL teams since it was announced last week that he would not be back with the Steelers in 2012. La Canfora reports that one of those talks was with the Arizona Cardinals, and presumably with head coach Ken Whisenhunt about the vacant quarterbacks coach job.

By Dave Bryan on Wednesday, November 16th, 2011 | No Comments

Hines Ward is the hot talking point this week after not being in the starting lineup against the Bengals and having his playing time limited. He was asked about it yesterday and gave all the right answers. On Oct. 2, ESPN The Magazine followed Ben Roethlisberger from start to finish in the Steelers game against the Texans and here is a teaser of the article that will appear in the Nov. 28 issue “One Day, One Game” issue of the magazine.

Steelers Six From Around The Web – Wednesday October 26th – Tom Brady Has This One Edition

By Dave Bryan on Wednesday, October 26th, 2011 | 3 Comments

By Dave Bryan on Friday, October 7th, 2011 | No Comments

Cornerback Joe Burnett signed a practice roster agreement with the Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL on Friday. Burnett was the Steelers 5th round draft pick in 2009 and lasted just one season. Former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher tossed the coin before the Virginia Destroyers UFL game tonight against Sacramento. Marty Schottenheimer is the head coach of the Destroyers and a long time mentor of Cowher. I wonder if flashbacks from the Thanksgiving game against Detroit went through his head. A man wearing a Steelers shirt was run over by Colts fan in Indianapolis on Friday. The victim is hospitalized Read more [...]

By Dave Bryan on Wednesday, September 28th, 2011 | 1 Comment

Season 2, Episode 22 of The Terrible Podcast is up and David Todd and I try to put the Steelers 23-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts in perspective. The Patriots lost to the Bills, the Jets lost to the Raiders and the Chargers beat the Chiefs by four at home. While things weren’t perfect in Indianapolis, the Steelers still got the W. From there we get to the injury report and it’s a bit longer than we’ve seen so far this season. Mike Tomlin didn’t have a lot of answers at his Tuesday press conference, but we share our thoughts on how things might play out on the offensive line and some other Read more [...]
