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.

And yet our offence stunk and we interviewed Reed for head coach.
Dolphins offensive minded HC McDaniel has been thrown out there and their offense was bad.
Even Authur Smith OC of the Steelers has been mentioned in an article as possible candidate.
Steelers offence wasn't that much better than the Eagles so I threw Patullo's name out there.

j/c...

Kev vs. Baker twice per year.

We may be sorry what was wished for..

Kevin will do well in Atlanta. He has some actual talent on the offensive side of the ball.

Very happy for Kevin... I think he got a raw deal here.

Falcons fans are gonna lose their minds when the Falcons offense is averaging 19 pts a game
Stefanski was so over rated as a playcaller and x and o guy

Good Luck Kevin. Hope your family is happy in Atlanta.

With Cousins and Bijan, I would've been shocked if he ended up anywhere else.

That validates nothing . When was the last the Falcons ownership
Made intelligent front office moves?

Matty Ice in charge now.

You can't even let it die after he's gone. You either have a serious obsession or are a troll. Neither one is healthy.

He was obviously one of the top HC candidates in the NFL and you pretend you know better than all of those NFL owners. He was the second hire only to Harbaugh out of every HC candidate on the market. Let that fact sink in for a minute.

And BTW the Falcons have a much better roster than the Browns. You sound just like a lot of Titans fans when New England hired Mike Vrabel.

Did the see the pool of coaches that are interviewing
Its not a impressive list outside of Harbaugh who is a Giant now.
Schwartz is not HC material. Stefanski going to give the Atlanta Journal
Beat writers the same canned lines he gave in Cleveland
I have to coach better . I have to look at the film .
Meanwhile if Atlanta fans think he can develop Michael Pennix
They are in for a big disappointment

Nobody cares what a HC says when he wins. He made the playoffs with Flacco after he was pulled off the couch. But then a lot of people like to play the role of Nostradumbass.
