Mike McCarthy

And he wouldn't name names because he's in the middle of interviewing a bunch of people right now.

But he wants the best coaching staff, obviously.

And I don't know what the number is.

He didn't mention a specific number, but he says as long as it accomplishes what we want as a group.

Well, I asked him that, and the answer was the numbers don't matter.

But I get the feeling the answer is yes to your question there, Donnie, although he would not say that directly.

But I got the feeling that that's kind of how it is, that if he wanted to, he could do what he wanted with it.

But he also talked about there's a budget for everything, and we have to work within whatever the budget we have for that coaching staff.

So I think that's, you know, he had a bigger staff in Dallas.

I do know that.

That doesn't mean it was the best staff.

It means that those are the people he wanted behind him.

And I said if it was similar, you know, would you?

And he said, look, we want the best staff, period.

How many?

I'm looking for quality.

That's the issue.

So I don't think there's a definitive number, and at least I didn't get one out of him.

I think it's obviously more them than him right now, but I think he'll delve into it because that was one of the things we got into, and he was so happy he's coming to Pittsburgh.

He was there last year, and he's had a taste of it, you know, but he's anxious to see how Pittsburgh plays.
