Found January 31, 2012 on Steelers Depot: Yardbarker Blogger Network
I am a football junkie and have been since about the age of 4 according to my parents. I am also a Pittsburgh Steelers fan that grew up in the deep south during the 1970's and 1980's as well and was always starved for any and all Steelers football that I could get my eyes on. The game of football captivated me as a child and I can remember reading the Monday morning box scores of all the games and reciting statistics of all my favorite Steelers players at a moments notice. I knew who all of the NFL teams were and all of the great players on each of those teams. Like I said, I was and still am a Read more [...]

Thank god, Coach Butler is not going to Indy

The Steelers got some huge news this morning when they learned that linebackers coach Keith Butler wasn’t going to follow Bruce Arians to Indianapolis to be the Colts new defensive coordinator. While the Colts were busy trying to become the Middle-Of-Nowhere Steelers by trying to fill their training staff with Steelers coaches, the real Steelers were busy locking up one of the...

The Shameless Plug Post

Since this isn’t a Pittsburgh Steelers blog, I assume everyone can read. With that in mind, please allow me to shamelessly plug my own efforts and toot my own horn (Tooooooooooooooot!). Anyway, I recently published my first book, a first-hand account of my experience as a teacher in inner-city Philadelphia. There’s no mention of Boomer [...]

Steelers to Interview Todd Haley

The Steelers will interview Todd Haley for their offensive coordinator vacancy. Fantasy Spin: Haley has proven he is not cut out for being a head coach during his short stint with the Chiefs (2009-11), but had success as an offensive coordinator with the Cardinals (2007-08). He would be a quality replacement for Bruce Arians, and his father (Dick Haley) played for the Steelers in the early 1960s.

Todd Haley interviews with Steelers

Apparently, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin learned enough about Todd Haley while doing homework on the former Chiefs coach to decide to learn even more about him during a face-to-face meeting. The Steelers announced on the team’s official website that Tomlin interviewed Haley on Tuesday at the practice facility in Pittsburgh. There’s some scuttlebutt in media…

Jerry Olsavsky not only played nine seasons with the Steelers, he has spent the past two seasons as a defensive assistant on Mike Tomlin's staff.
