Why Indiana's Curt Cignetti isn't a logical successor for Mike Tomlin with Steelers
From the moment news broke that Mike Tomlin was stepping down as Pittsburgh Steelers head coach, fans and media alike began speculating about who should replace him atop one of the NFL’s marquee franchises.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are on the lookout for a new coach after Mike Tomlin announced his decision to leave the franchise after 19 seasons in Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
Rather than chasing the glory at a traditional powerhouse, Cignetti inked an 8-year deal worth $93 million that will keep him in town through 2033. Despite his loyalty to Indiana, ESPN’s Marcus Spears suggested on Tuesday that the Pittsburgh Steelers should make a move to attempt to lure him away from college football.
Curt Cignetti's unprecedented success with Indiana may have him on the radar of several NFL teams looking for a new head coach.
Pittsburgh Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger shared who he believes would be the best hire for the vacant head coaching job.
