Khan: 'Confident time will show this is the right decision for this franchise'

The right guy or the next guy?

The cap guy or the football guy?

Omar Khan, formally introduced to reporters as the Steelers' new GM Friday morning at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, offered mostly brief answers to the couple dozen questions that came his way, often citing a "fluid" situation in crafting a staff and at other times making clear that there's stuff he flat-out won't share.

Which sounded, of course, a lot like his predecessor, Kevin Colbert, who never encountered a secret he didn't want to keep for himself.

Khan did, however, acknowledge that his staff will include Andy Weidl, the Eagles' vice president of player personnel the past three seasons, as his assistant general manager, as well as Sheldon White, the Lions' former vice president of player personnel, as an assistant in the personnel department.
