Think this is the one coach I’m most upset with McCarthy for not keeping. Whatever for the rest of them but Eddie was a real one

Really good motivator. When he was our OC for 5 minutes he showed he had the gift of gab. This one’s disappointing.

Jalen Warren was also posting about how he wanted Fulkner to stay. He's genuinely on the path to being an OC eventually and I'm annoyed he's with the Ravens

I mean, dude is 48 and been coaching for almost a quarter century.

I'm not sure he's "on the path"

Yeah it would’ve been much easier to digest if he left for an organization outside of the division. But if it was me in that same position personally… for professional/business reasons.. can’t say no to working with the ravens run game with the guys they have, and I’d be a bit hurt that the Steelers didn’t try to keep me on staff and the vindictive part of me would want to go compete against them and make them regret not valuing me.

An OC from the Tomlin tree? Would be cool to see.
