Who cares other than Steelers, I'm in Florida with Steelers fan who disliked Tomlin- 19 years of winning football.....I'm glad they are on the hunt for new HC and Qb probably---- we, Browns fans, would take what- FIVE straight years of winning and be happy-- Go Browns.....PS, welcome to the search STEELERS, hope you come up snake eyes.

I use it nearly daily and I've found that it doesn't even have to make sense; it's never not funny.

The Daily Mail is not a reliable source of news - it is not a lot better than the Inquirer - so I'd check anything they claim. This does appear true and is all over lots of sources.

Unsurprising.

1 down - hope we find ours soon and we land they guy we want and not choice number 4 or 5.

Monken headed to NY with Harbaugh.

Makes sense.

I think this is also sticking it to Baltimore in a way. Reports say the organization/Jackson wanted Monken fired and Harbaugh refused. Now the tandem is heading to work together again with Dart.

Can't wait to hear the kings ransom they paid Harbaugh. It may help set a new market price.

Good luck Johnny boy, I’d choose Cleveland, Pittsburgh or any city over NYC…

At least he isn’t in the AFC North. A weird time in this division and I hope this organization gets its head out of its butt…won’t hold my breath…

I don’t mind the youthfulness IF he can have experienced coordinators (like Shchwartz) surrounding him. The only concern is just how many of those types of connections he has built and whether older guys want to work under such a relatively young HC. Some of the pressures need to be relieved while he finds his groove and you don’t want too many coaches doing that at once…

Heard it was 5 years/$100,000,000

Not bad. He was making $17M/yr with Baltimore.

Having been in the director level role of a few companies with responsibilities of overseeing many divisions and employees on various levels over the years I can tell you that sometimes a young person comes along and they just have the leadership and organizational wherewithal and you can usually see it pretty quick. There's a lot of people who fake it and they can still sometimes be successful if they know how to surround themselves with the right support and they know where their deficiencies lie and can compensate in ways. But a head coach of a football team is so public and just such a different animal. They have to have that CEO confidence and the mind for organization and running people. That's the biggest deal with those roles, it's that you have so many different roles. X's and O's of course but the personnel management is the real trick. It's better if people just naturally fall in line behind that person, they just have the gravity. That tends to accumulate with age. But not always. Some come out of the box like that.

The more I read about Udinski the more I think he may be the right choice.

So, after that, my biggest concern is how do you handle a locker room? I asked AI if he's a disciplinarian...

Based on available reports, Jacksonville Jaguars Offensive Coordinator Grant Udinski is characterized more by a collaborative, detail-oriented, and energetic coaching style than as a strict disciplinarian. He is described as a "rising star" in the NFL coaching ranks known for his communication skills and work ethic.

Key characteristics of his coaching approach include:

Collaborative Process: Udinski views the coaching process as a collaborative effort, not a dictatorship.

Clarity and Detail: He is praised for his ability to simplify complex schemes and deliver a clear message to players, which helped in the resurgence of quarterbacks like Sam Darnold and the development of Trevor Lawrence.

High Energy: Sources frequently mention his energy and passion for coaching, which translates to interactions with both coaches and players.

Strong Work Ethic: His dedication is notable; he once lived in his car early in his career to pursue coaching opportunities.
While discipline is an inherent part of any professional sports environment, public descriptions of Udinski focus more on his intellectual capacity, communication style, and collaborative leadership rather than a reputation as a stern disciplinarian.



In contrast to (same question):

Yes, Jacksonville Jaguars coach Liam Coen demonstrates disciplinary actions, particularly in response to the team's high penalty rate, hinting at potential personnel changes and expressing frustration with a lack of execution, indicating he's holding players accountable for discipline while also fostering a positive environment.

Evidence of Discipline:
Personnel Changes: After a tough loss where the team gave up a big lead and led the NFL in penalties, Coen suggested personnel changes were coming due to poor performance and discipline.

Focus on Execution: He's publicly shown frustration with the lack of production and discipline, especially on the offensive and defensive lines, signaling a need for better execution.

Balancing Accountability & Positivity:
Accountability: Coen aims to hold players accountable by highlighting weaknesses and areas for improvement.

Psychological Safety: He also strives to create psychological safety, allowing players to address mistakes without deflecting blame, which is a form of discipline through guidance.

In essence, Coen is seen as a coach who pushes for accountability and discipline, using both direct action (personnel) and positive reinforcement (psychological safety) to achieve it, according to reports from late 2025.


He'll need to be more like Coen in order to command an NFL locker room. jmo

Then lastly, I don't see this at all:
Schwartz walks in and says "see ya, boss, don't forget to lock the door, even if you're sleeping on the couch".

So, I'm guessing this hire would see Schwartz hit the door, maybe evenwith a little uncontrollable laughter on the way out.

Eagles just fired their O.C. Kevin Patullo...He might be worth a look.
