In a stunning turn of events, a former NFL scout has dropped a bombshell proposal that has left Steelers Nation reeling. According to the scout, the Steelers should consider trading longtime head coach Mike Tomlin to the Chicago Bears in exchange for a first-round draft pick and hire Ben Johnson as his replacement.
The proposal, which was first reported by ESPN, has sparked a heated debate among Steelers fans and pundits alike. While some have praised the scout’s outside-the-box thinking, others have dismissed the idea as absurd.
“Mike Tomlin is a legendary coach who has brought a Super Bowl championship to Pittsburgh,” said Steelers fan and season ticket holder, John Smith. “There’s no way we should trade him, no matter what the Bears offer.”
However, the former scout, who wishes to remain anonymous, insists that the proposal is not as far-fetched as it seems.
“Mike Tomlin is a great coach, but he’s been in Pittsburgh for a long time,” the scout said. “Sometimes, a change of scenery can be beneficial for both parties. Ben Johnson, on the other hand, is a rising star in the coaching world. He’s a young, innovative coach who could bring a fresh perspective to the Steelers.”
Ben Johnson, currently the offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, has been touted as one of the top coaching prospects in the NFL. His aggressive, modern approach to offense has drawn praise from around the league, and many believe he has the potential to be a top head coach in the near future.
While the proposal is unlikely to come to fruition, it has sparked an interesting debate about the future of the Steelers franchise. As the team looks to rebuild and retool for the future, could a coaching change be on the horizon?
Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Steelers Nation will be watching with bated breath as the drama unfolds.
