Edge Nick Herbig and the Pittsburgh Steelers reached agreement today on a four-year, $100 million dollar extension that includes $42 million guaranteed per @MikeGarafolo and me.
The deal was negotiated by Joe DiBenedetto, Andy Simms and Ken Sarnoff of @1OF1FOOTBALL.
@Pirates Once again Kelly pulls Keller in the bottom of the 6th with 2 outs and a guy on second
The bullpen pitcher let off another home run and they took the lead
He’s going to blow this season for us pulling pitchers at 83 pitches
I love the Mike McCarthy hire. He’s going to bring structure and offensive juice to the Steelers. This is someone who bleeds yinzer. You want someone who WANTS to be there. He’s a low risk high potential hiring. Steelers aren’t in a rebuild but they aren’t in contention mode and that’s the truth. Mike McCarthy is an excellent coach to bridge the gap for the near future.
Hate me for it. But I’ll go other way-because it seems everyone is mad; I’m rooting like hell for Mike McCarthy and hope he has incredible success with Steelers.
Guy is one of us. It will mean the world to him to coach this team. He’s often spoken about how special franchise is.
In a dream world for the Steelers:
• Chris Shula -- head coach
• Nate Scheelhaase -- offensive coordinator
• Mike McCarthy -- assistant head coach/offensive consultant
What say you?
