Steelers coach sure to trump the mayor By Eric Heyl TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, January 14, 2007
One job was expected to attract a myriad of aspirants but has not. An initially short list to fill the other job has unexpectedly swelled.
Now there are more candidates for the Pittsburgh Steelers' head coaching vacancy than there are for the Pittsburgh mayoral opening.

Maybe the good citizens of Pittsburgh should vote for the next Steelers coach to be the next Mayor.

Welcome to the forum.

How about Big 'Ben' Rothlesberger for mayor? He has some name recognition going for him in the Pittsburgh area.

Maybe the good citizens of Pittsburgh should vote for the next Steelers coach to be the next Mayor. Considering the politicians in the city, that would be like coaching a 45 man roster of nothing but T.O. clones.

As most people saw it, the selection process would involve a coin flip, a congratulatory phone call to the winner, and then Steelers owners Dan Rooney and Art Rooney II would decide which local steakhouse to patronize for dinner.
Not so fast sparky. Ya can't do that any longer.
All thanks to ..... SURPRISE ...... Pittsburgh's own Dan Rooney.
There's that little thing now called 'The Rooney Rule' which stipulated you MUST interview Black Candidates for Head Coach ('prolly' should be called the Jesse Jackson Rule). And no phony 'interviews' either, uh-uh, no way.
So get ready Steeler fans, 'coaching genius' Dennis Green is unemployed. He'll only set you back a couple decades.
