Some more insight on deciding the final 3

[Koopa]

This actually a very interesting point you made Friday... Once the new coach comes in with his chest all pushing out he could decide he wants his own coaching staff from top to bottom! Hopefully, the Rooney's put some restrictions on who the new coach can and can't replacement, because otherwise we might just see a Cardinals coaching staff that looks very familiar

i don't think that would happen, maybe with an older coach, but with the two guys we are interviewing i doubt they are gonna wanna step on any toes their first crack at being head coaches

Ive been saying this all over the forums since this whole mess started. Assistant coaches who leave for full time HC jobs somewhere else can't just take our coaches because they feel like it. Our coaches are under contract, none of them can leave unless the Team gives them permission to do so. As long as we hire Grimm and even if we don't, the chances of Lebeau going somewhere else are Slim to none at the very best. He's been around a long time, he's not a young pup anymore, he's happy in Pittsburgh and he knows the players well, he's got the prime gig he could ever ask for at this point in his life.

Guys...Guys.. Dick Lebeau is under contract, he's got the highest assistant coach rank you can get, Defensive Coordinator. He's happy in Pittsburgh, he's not going to jump ship to Arizona to start all over when he's got a set defense and good players here.

I just don't see Rivera or Tomlin making changes this season. If one those men becomes the HC they know the Steelers have coach LeBeau and are built for the 3-4 defense. Maybe overtime I could see the Steelers moving from the 3-4 under Rivera/Tomlin but not right away.

how many coaches did cowher keep from noll's staff? just one. what did noll run when he left? a 4-3 right? cowher changed that over to a 3-4. i'm not saying lebeau is going to leave on his own. however if the new coach is someone other than grimm i could see them bringing in their own system and coaches. lebeau could end up in arizona at that point. frankly i think he's done well by us and should consider calling it a day, hell he's going to be 70. one coach i would want them to keep though is darren perry. i think he's got a big upside.

Actually the Steelers ran the 3-4 the last 5 or so years of Noll's career.

I just looked it up with google. The Steelers have ran the 3-4 defense since 1983.

opps my bad.

The next head coach cannot flip over to a 4-3. The personnel is suited for a 3-4. We go 4-3 it wil be a clusterfudge for at least the first season. Probably two or three.
