Good for him, I figured he'd get the Pittsburgh job. Id have to question how successful he will be though if he couldn't get the Pittsburgh job. They've seen him work for years and if they felt he was HC material they surely would have offered him the job IMO.
Big ups for the Cards, big drop for the Steelers. They are going to miss him in Pittsburgh. I bet Russ Grimm will be the new HC in Pitt now..

The Steelers do NOT need to hire a hot assistant. What they need to do is hire an older retread coach who can be the care-taker of the team for 3 or 4 years before they hire who they want for the next decade. That way the expectations don't kill the hot young assistant they hire in the future.
