Really happy for Byron. This totally makes sense and I wish him the best!

 

[Litos]

Good for him

I hope he does well. I really do. Didn't much like playing against him because he was a tough S.O.B. who would rip his arm off if it meant he might have a better shot at hitting a 35 yard post.

When he played for us, his highlight reel days were pretty much over, but he was solid enough. I understand he did pretty well as an OC, but it's hard to know how much of that was him and how much was Arians. (He was with TB, ya?)

Good hire BL eats sleeps dreams football! He could do pretty well I’m glad hes getting a shot.

 

[steel dino]

Excellent choice.

 

[mightyguru]

Great dude that has done a great job and deserves a shot.

 

[madinsomniac]

One of the guys that has a pretty good football mind.. probably going to be a better hire than their last lol

 

[bermudasteel]

Very good. Well deserved...he may make "Sunshine" into a real QB threat in the league.

 

[steelhurt]

I do like this hire by Jacksonville. He will be good for Trevor Lawrence and bring some stability to this franchise and I think the players will really like playing for him. Omar Kahn just needs to have patience with him since he’s young with a young QB and team. He’ll do fine!

This hire was on a matter of time. Leftwich seems like a good guy, especially from his time in Pittsburgh. I'd like to see him do well when he's not playing the Steelers.

 

[Shane Falco]

Interesting. I think he will do well

 

[Tom Lynn-Zadeusch]

Probably better than what we have for a HC.

 

[troymania]

I remember him playing a quarter at Marshall with a broken leg. His OL carried him down the field. Great offensive mind. He deserves a shot at head coach.Who knows if he does really well in Jacksonville we can poach him when Tomlin is done!

Probably better than what we have for a HC.

Hi Bob stepping to a new name I see.

 

[SteelerFan448]

 

[slashsteel]

That is who I wanted for the Steelers. IMO would be a solid hire...

 

[PolamaluFanForever43]

He deserves a shot. Always liked him.

 

[Sarge]

Yeah, this isn't a done deal yet. Apparently after interviewing Leftwich, they wanted a second interview with Hackett and Eberflus. Both of those guys were already hired, and the deal with Leftwich still isn't finalized. Wonder what the hold up is now?

Interesting. Some half-assed reporting there from that article. Jump the shark a bit.

It’s almost comical the “insider” business. They’re so concerned about being “first to break the news” they seem to follow the old joke of not allowing the facts to get in way of a good story. I come here and find my nfl news the majority of the time cause I don’t trust what the ********* put out on Twitter 🤷🏻‍♂️

Great hire!

The dumpster fire is lucky to have him, maybe he can turn things around a bit

My favorite memory from him was back in college when he couldn’t barely walk and his linemen were carrying down the field in the hurry up for the next play…he’s got guts and he’ll need it to run in there and put out that fire

 

[Steelr4evr]

Good for him. I wish him well down here. That place is a **** show. I'm glad he was able to contribute to the Steelers last Superbowl winning season. I think he's a super likeable guy and obviously some good OC skills.

 

[slashsteel]

Leftwich already recognizing that he needs a solid GM. Sounds like he is no dummy.

 

[Lunar]

Great for him!
