HC Candidate\u2019s Season Ends<\/p>\n
Maybe it\u2019s best for the Steelers\u2019 head coach candidates to make it deep in the playoffs to further prove their coaching mettle, but there are selfish reasons to root for an earlier exit. With three candidates in the divisional round, the Steelers had a short window to request virtual interviews before NFL rules disallowed interviews until elimination from the postseason. That would mean potentially delaying the search until Feb. 9 to interview some of the top candidates if their teams made it to the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n
One is now freed up with San Francisco 49ers OC Klay Kubiak free for in-person interviews effective immediately. His 49ers lost 41-6 to the Seattle Seahawks. If you\u2019re worried about the blowout loss for his squad, it\u2019s not his fault that the Seahawks returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown or that the offense turned the ball over three times. Execution matters.<\/p>\n
We will know shortly whether Nate Scheelhaase and Chris Shula are available with the LA Rams playing Sunday night. If they lose, then the Steelers will have full access to all of their candidates by Monday morning.<\/p>\n
