The #Steelers put in a request to interview #Giants DC Patrick Graham for the same position in Pittsburgh, per source.

They're seeking a replacement for Keith Butler, who retired Saturday, and Graham is well-regarded.

Can't be

Tomlin = Good
Graham = Bad

Good

We’re starting over.

What if the GM

and/or HC wants their own DC? Maybe they'll allow it.

If they hire him

for lateral move while still under contract would Giants get comp picks? I don’t think so.

Nope. We could just let him go like Brian Flores and the Dolphins let Graham come to us.

Yeah, the Steelers and Giants

are “family.”

They need permission

for a downgraded job: DC/ Asst HC to just DC?
I must be misunderstanding something..

I assume the Giants are going to let Graham interview

unless/until their new HC asks him to stay on as DC.

Good. Please take him.

The positions are coordinator and HC. The Asst HC title is meaningless. It is a completely lateral move in the eyes of the NFL.

They need permission for anything. Teams can't block interviews for promotions but the Giants still have to grant permission even if its a formality.

Definitely

can see PG having a lot of success in PIT. :/

Do We still get the Saints 2nd round pick?
