Announcement is going well, Only 4x as many people disapprove of the hire

  1. They don’t care. Butts will be in seats for the first game, that’s all they care about.

  2. And that is why they are putting out bullshit today about Shula and Scheelhaase. Rooney thinks his shit doesn’t stink and apparently thought people would buy anything he put out. Well, they’re not. So the Steelers organization is denigrating two of the candidates and crapping on the fans.

  3. Like, if we’re being honest, MM isn’t the worst hire. But only doing 3 in person interviews for your first coaching search in 2 decades is diabolical.

  4. You know people are mad when Rooney felt the need to put out a statement in support of this bullshit less than 24 hours later

  5. Honestly they’re force feeding us this pile of dog shit in diarrhea water, but I’m still glad AR2 looks like the egg sucker he is.

  6. It’s ok, guys. Art Deuce does not give the slightest shit about what the fans say or do.

  7. Now they are leaking to Filiponi that Shula bombed his virtual interview.

    They are full court pressing the pr machine here

  8. Between what’s going on in this country and a few road bumps in my life recently, this steelers shit is honestly funny at this point lol

  9. I’m not so much mad at the hire as I am the process. It’s just give me the same vibe as the OC search when they hired Smith. “Cast a wide net, do our due diligence.” Then they didn’t cast a wide. The didn’t cast a wide net this time. I can’t understand why not have Scheelhaase and Shula interview again.

  10. It’s so great that you think management cares what people on social media think!!!

  11. Art Rooney has zero respect for the fan base. If he had ANY respect he should call Mike and apologise and say this is not MY organisation its OURS, with million strong stakeholders who cannot be ignored and wish Mike well and backtrack and RESPECT the paying audience.

    But…… in the words of John Lennon Art is like…

    ‘Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
    And you think you’re so clever and classless and free
    But you’re still fucking peasants as far as I can see’

  12. So if I stay disappointed, they will change the coach choice? If so then I’ll stay disappointed if the ONLY thing that happens is me being disappointed then I’m choosing to live my life joyfully

  13. Fans are stupid. He’s a good coach, but he needs a qb.

    If he gets one in the next two years, this will be successful. If he doesn’t it won’t.

    It’s that simple.

  14. If any of these haters were an up and coming coach would you take the Steelers job? Especially an offensive guy. We have no QB and no answer as to how we will acquire one. You have to share your facilities with a college team and the facilities are grossly outdated. You have a defense that is both grossly overpaid and grossly underperforming. You have very little cap space.

    You all need to understand that the team doesn’t get their pick of who they want and those people have to take the job. I guarantee he was the only offensive coach willing to take the job at the salary they’re willing to pay.

  15. On the plus side, for Reddit as a whole… I often see the counter to the popular argument being the correct one.

  16. I love how old Art is supposedly “confused about the fan reaction”. You didn’t even pretend to wait for the candidates that were in the playoffs!! You barely took two weeks!! Total joke.

  17. If the Steelers don’t have a winning season next year, it gonna be hella interesting for the front office..

  18. A very bland and lateral move by Rooney. Very much in character. Not the worse hire on paper. But fans are looking for something more flashy not more or less the same. But if he wins and makes a run in the playoffs all will be forgotten.

  19. I swear some of you people would be happier with an abysmal season for the next number of years with him behind the bench opposed to there being a deep playoff run next year.

    We’ll see what happens next year. If we are trash, then there you go. But good lord the off season hasn’t started yet people calm down.
