Steelers say they haven't hired a coach, despite SI report
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07020/755575-100.stm
Steelers chairman Dan Rooney today denied a Sports Illustrated story that said the team had chosen Mike Tomlin as its head coach.
"There's nothing to that story on the wire," Mr. Rooney said of the account that appeared earlier today on SI.com.
Other sources, most unwilling to go on the record, also denied there was any truth to the story. Mr. Tomlin, the defensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings, denied it publicly.
"It is untrue," Mr. Tomlin told ESPN's Chris Mortensen. "I have no idea where it's coming from. I have not talked to the Rooneys today."

I think it is a good hire, even better if they can get Gailey as the OC.
