1
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: W d v E.

2
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 2: It's for an I Heeart radio station guaranteed. Human.

3
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 3: You know, it's disappointing, but I'm certainly thankful for this

4
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 3: group in their efforts.

5
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: But it's a disappointing night tonight.

6
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 4: Coach Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Former coach of

7
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 4: the Pittsburgh Steelers Mike Tomlin with his postgame comments there

8
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 4: after Houston's defeat of the Steelers in the Wildcard Game

9
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 4: on Monday night. Mike Tomlin stepping down after night teen

10
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 4: years yesterday as the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

11
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 4: It is the end of an era. And you know,

12
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 4: we've talked a lot off air about this. That was

13
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 4: a shock yesterday, no question about it. But to me,

14
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 4: as much as I had issues with Mike Tomlin, and

15
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 4: I think that a change is necessary for this organization.

16
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 4: And I didn't know to what degree I knew they

17
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 4: couldn't keep doing what they were doing.

18
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 3: It obviously wasn't working.

19
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 4: I would have been fine with let's get some badass

20
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 4: coordinators in here. Arthur Smith was a step in the

21
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 4: right direction, I guess away from Matt Canada, but still

22
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 4: not good enough. And let's get this guy a quarterback

23
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 4: and two coordinators and make him an overseer of the team.

24
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 3: He's got good ball knowledge.

25
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 4: He inspires players, but we have to stop giving him

26
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 4: the ability to buy the groceries to make dinner. As

27
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 4: Bill Parcells once said, because I thought talent assessment was

28
00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 4: the biggest issue. So with his stepping down, I kind

29
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 4: of am of two minds. I feel sad about it,

30
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 4: and as much as I think there needs to be

31
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 4: something done, I'm sad about Mike Tomlin stepping down after

32
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 4: nineteen years. I can't get into the There's like a

33
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 4: group of Steeler fans who are very excited about this,

34
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 4: and the people who were chanting fire Tomlin and stuff

35
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 4: like that.

36
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: You know my thoughts on that.

37
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 4: I've talked about it a lot, even during the Fire

38
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 4: Canada days. I thought that that was a classless look

39
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 4: from Steelers fans.

40
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: It's like, keep your issues in has you know?

41
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, in no way she or formed you. I

42
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 4: think Mike Tomlin heard those chants and he's like, dude's it.

43
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 4: I'm over here. As some people are asserting, Uh, this

44
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 4: is one of the all time great coaches in NFL history,

45
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 4: and his record of never having a losing season is

46
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 4: insanely consistent and remarkable and tough to do. And I

47
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 4: know that that became a joke for a lot of people,

48
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 4: and that it didn't matter to me.

49
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin is synonymous.

50
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 4: With Pittsburgh Steelers football, so it's really hard to imagine

51
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 4: him not as the coach going forward.

52
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: You know.

53
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 3: Uh, Now, change is hard.

54
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 4: As I said, and I'm one of my most Pittsburgh

55
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 4: trait is that I don't love big change like this,

56
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 4: But I do think it'll be good for both sides.

57
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 4: I do think it'll be good for Mike Tomlin. I

58
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 4: do think it'll be good for the Steelers, provided they

59
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 4: get the right coach. That being said, it is hard

60
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 4: to swallow. I don't know how you guys feel, but

61
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 4: it is weird to think of the Pittsburgh Steelers being

62
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 4: coached by anybody else not named Cower or Tomlin.

63
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 5: Should be easy to find the right coach. Based on

64
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 5: the reaction I'm seeing on social media, Yeah, oh.

65
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, just go to the good coach Store.

66
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: Grab one, Yes, the head Coach Emporium. They have one

67
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: in Ross Parks, Mall. Yeah.

68
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 6: You know, I feel like I grew up with Tomlin.

69
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 5: I was still in college when he got higher and uh,

70
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 5: I don't know, it's it's a weird Cowra felt like

71
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 5: your dad a little bit, like he was a generation older,

72
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 5: and then you know Tomlin was like a young, cool dude.

73
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 5: I feel I'm sad in the in many ways, but

74
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 5: I'm also happy for Tomlin. It seemed like he, I

75
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 5: was saying this, Dabby before the show, seemed like you

76
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 5: had like no discernible hobbies. Really yeah, right, he just was,

77
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 5: you know, married to the job, and the job seems horrible.

78
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 5: It seems like ten jobs rolled into one.

79
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

80
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 4: I think that that is well established at this point

81
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 4: that you know, being a an NBA coach or an

82
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 4: NFL coach ages you faster than the presidency.

83
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 6: Yeah.

84
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 4: That being said, I don't know that he's gonna just

85
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 4: lay back and start like, uh, you know, like start

86
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 4: building ships in bottles. You know, obviously this is HMS pitifam.

87
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: I just with him having a year to go and

88
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: him stepping down like that just to me, really two

89
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: years he had.

90
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: Two years to fifty million dollars he left on the table.

91
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: Wow, So that really does leave him to what either

92
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: take time go to TV.

93
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 3: He's going to TV.

94
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 6: You think he is.

95
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: I do.

96
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna go to TV and uh and

97
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 3: make that money because you can make a lot of

98
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: money in TV. People want him there. It's low.

99
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 4: I think he sees coach Kauer who planned on going

100
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 4: back to coaching, by the way, and then got used

101
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 4: to that TV life, and he's like, Hey, nobody's telling

102
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 4: me I suck every Sunday. You know, there's not a

103
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 4: group of people that, no matter what happens or on

104
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 4: my ass, when I go to pump gas and I'm

105
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: making more money and uh, I can go to the gym,

106
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 4: I'm going out to dinner with friends. This is I

107
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 4: have a life that becomes very attractive, very fast. And

108
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 4: he is going to be a sought after commodity. Anybody

109
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 4: that would want coach Tomlin to coach for them would

110
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 4: have to trade for the rights for Mike Tomlin. So

111
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 4: the Steelers in that regard, you know, he might get

112
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 4: a Sean Payton situation. I can't remember what the details

113
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 4: of that trade were to Denver from the Saints.

114
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 2: One to two.

115
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 4: Maybe yeah, so we might get something out of it

116
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 4: when all of a sudden done. But I don't think

117
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 4: he's gonna rush back into coaching. These people like talking

118
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 4: about him going to Miami right away because he wants to.

119
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 4: There's so many rumors that have to be unsubstantiated.

120
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 3: He'll only coach in warm weather.

121
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 5: I don't, okay, all right, after nineteen years of this,

122
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 5: Yeah that was the straw. Yeah, yeah, I TV seems

123
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 5: like a good fit.

124
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 2: It does.

125
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 4: I want him next to Terry Bradshaw, as I said,

126
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 4: because I just want to see Terry Bradshaw looking at

127
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 4: Tomlin after he drops tomlinism and he looks like a

128
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 4: dog after you hide the ball and he's like, who's hill?

129
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 4: What paint the barn? What that some you know? And

130
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 4: then Terry's head just explodes. It's it's I don't know,

131
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 4: it's a bittersweet day, you know what I mean. I

132
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 4: don't know there's any even sweetness to it. It's just

133
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 4: like the last few years are just it just sucks.

134
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 4: I think the Kenny Pickett thing sent them back so

135
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 4: far too. It's me it's always been about talent assessment

136
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 4: with these guys and his that's been the first problem.

137
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 3: The second thing is.

138
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 4: I do think he was slow to adapt to an

139
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 4: ever changing NFL in terms of his reliance on defense first,

140
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 4: but never getting a defense no matter how much you

141
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 4: paid for it. That looked anything like what we saw

142
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 4: Houston do the other night, you know, yeah, like those

143
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 4: guys are insanely good right now. And adding all of

144
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 4: these veterans who were on their last gasp in the

145
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 4: NFL who just didn't get it done with Darius Slade,

146
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 4: Jalen Ramsey, Patrick Peterson, Pete, Yeah, Pat Pete, it just

147
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 4: seemed like the list went on and on. Michael a

148
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 4: lot more on that. We're gonna be talking a lot

149
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 4: about it, obviously. Tim Benz, Charlie Batch, Merril Hodge, Rob King,

150
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: Jeremy Fowler from ESPN that broke the story will join

151
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 4: us at eight forty five. Max Starks and Mark Madden.

152
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 4: I know, I listened to Mark for a little bit

153
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 4: yesterday and Mark was advocating the start will Howard next

154
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 4: year and tank this season theory, and he says, no,

155
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 4: I don't.

156
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: I don't know.

157
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 4: Well, well, Howard's like, do I have to tank it?

158
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 4: Can I be good? It's a winner? Maybe I'll be good. Yeah,

159
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 4: because they might not get their quarterback this year. I'm

160
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 4: not sure interested to hear what Mike has to say

161
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 4: about things. In a shocking development yesterday, coach Tomlin stepping down.

162
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: Him stepping down just tells me that he knows something

163
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: deeper than we did. He knew, you know what I mean,

164
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: and then also that there is something potentially that maybe

165
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: looks attractive to him.

166
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 3: Sleeping would be my guess.

167
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: I say beyond that, because I don't think that he's

168
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: a RESTful guy now.

169
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 6: He seems like a seeker.

170
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think it's clear he had planned this.

171
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 4: He didn't lose the game and then go, you know what,

172
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 4: I'm done, right, It's clear to me that he was

173
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 4: He knew that once this season was over, he was

174
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 4: stepping down one way or another, because.

175
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 3: That was fast.

176
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 4: There's some people speculating nest whether or not Art Rooney

177
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 4: knew about it in advance, if he told the team.

178
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 4: I don't think that's the case.

179
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: I don't.

180
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 4: We did start to hear some names being bandied about

181
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 4: in the potential next coach for the Steelers a couple

182
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 4: of months ago, so that was a little weird, but

183
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 4: a lot of times that's just their agents floating names

184
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 4: into the press so that in case there is an

185
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 4: opening because maybe they heard rumblings that Tomlin might step down,

186
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 4: their guy.

187
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 3: Would be one of the first people considered.

188
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 5: That's so funny to me though, It's like, then the

189
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 5: person who is the decision maker who has not spread

190
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 5: that is like, wait a second, Mike mcdale.

191
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 7: Did I think Mike McDaniel bring him interview? I don't know, Cheryl, Cheryl.

192
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,359
Speaker 4: Call Mike mcdale's people happy, he's here right now, Sarah, Oh, okay,

193
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 4: he's just waiting. There's just coaches agents just have their

194
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 4: their guys in the parking lot. Go upstairs, now, go upstairs,

195
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 4: now interview. I don't think coach Tomlin tipped his hand.

196
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 4: I don't I think that he surprised Art Rooney yesterday

197
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 4: and uh Art Rooney did a lot.

198
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 3: Of okay, and.

199
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 4: Now it's onto Chris Shula, Marcus Freeman, Brian Lauras.

200
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 3: I don't know.

201
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 4: Those are some of the names you keep hearing. Marcus

202
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 4: Freeman to me, where the hell's that coming from? Based

203
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 4: on what?

204
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, people keep talking about Signetti too.

205
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 4: It's like he's sixty two years old and he just

206
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 4: made a buttload of money, and Jacob's over there going

207
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 4: uh oh you're not allowed to have him.

208
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 6: I thought of Jacob immediately.

209
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think he's going anywhere.

210
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 5: I would love to have him, though, why because he

211
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 5: is a total inser.

212
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 4: If he stinks though, I mean, he was born in Pittsburgh.

213
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 4: But if he's stunk, it wouldn't I don't know, his

214
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 4: act would not go over.

215
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: The highest state. Yeah, I don't know. I let the iupiece.

Speaker 2: Yeah.

221
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 4: Some people are talking about the Raiders throwing a bunch

222
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 4: of money at Signetti and taking Fernando with him there, Jacob.

223
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:56,760

Speaker 4: As legendary coach Mike Tomlin steps down, it's the end

228
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 4: of an era and the search is on because it's

229
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 4: only like ninety eight days until the draft.

230
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,319

Speaker 3: that on your plan? You get luck going on?

237
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 6: I do want to do a little bit of news.

238
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: This hour brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store,

239
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: Clouds and rain.

240
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 6: Today it is a high of forty six.

241
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: Keeper Sutherland was arrested early Monday morning for allegedly assaulting

242
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: his ride share driver in Hollywood.

243
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: It's not good.

244
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: Police responded to the call around twelve to fifteen. A

245
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: m keeper allegedly went through the vehicle, physically assaulted the driver,

246
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: and then made criminal threats toward them.

247
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 6: The driver didn't suck We're.

248
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: Coming, hear. Criminal threats always sound I'm gonna rob a bank,

249
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 3: you know what I mean?

250
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: Like? The driver didn't suffer any injuries that required medical attention.

251
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: Keefer was booked around four am on an unspecific felony charge,

252
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: according to Los Angeles County jail records. He was released

253
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: on fifty thousand dollars bond and is scheduled to appear

254
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: in court on February second, none of this should be

255
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: much of a surprise though. He maybe fifty nine and

256
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: relatively tame, but back in the day he raised his

257
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: share of hell. And don't forget he used to be

258
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: a pirate, because back in two thousand and five he

259
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: body slammed a Christmas tree in a London hotel lobby

260
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: after being told he was a pirate.

261
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a.

262
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 6: Cooky guy, cooky guy, and he continues the kookiness the times.

263
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 5: Stav leads me to believe he was drunk, but I think, right, know, crazy, right,

264
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 5: But I always like to think about what the rideshare

265
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 5: driver must have said to him.

266
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 3: Like, hey, remember young guys when you were in the

267
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 3: spirit world, And he's like, shut up, shut up. The

268
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 3: uber driver pulls up, He's like, sorry, I had hard

269
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: time following you. I guess you really are a lost boy.

270
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: Shut up.

271
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 4: Keifer, Oh, Keifer. He's always had a kind of a

272
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 4: wild hair. Up is ours?

273
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 3: No?

274
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 8: Oh?

275
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: No.

276
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 4: I definitely think he's got a laundry list of incidents

277
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 4: like this is.

278
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 6: A musician as well? Yeah, is he good?

279
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know.

280
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 6: I guess it doesn't matter.

281
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 5: We know he's gonna play moon Dogs this summer. He

282
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 5: could check them out, all.

283
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,080

Speaker 4: Although I don't mind a sweetheart or something like that

329
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,920

Speaker 3: sign me up.

331
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: I think I had a moment with things like Skittles,

332
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: but it was more like the Starburst, like I could

333
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: get down with that, and then I realized I like

334
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: my teeth.

335
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 6: I'm just like, I just I can't do this.

336
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: But now I'm full into like anything that's like chocolate

337
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: peanut butter.

338
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 6: I wonder where that's been my whole life.

339
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, that's always been my jam. Always been a

340
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 4: chocolate and peanut butter person. Although right now I have

341
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 4: these like, uh, these gummies I'm taking in the morning

342
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 4: that are like like zinc and elderberry and all that

343
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 4: like immune system like boosters, and that thing is a

344
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 4: total It is a starburst. I mean, I feel like

345
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 4: I'm pulling a filling.

346
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 3: Out every morning. I'm worried it's gonna maybe I should

347
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 3: get another brand.

348
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,920

Speaker 4: two years since I've been taking them than it has

353
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 4: been for a long long time. Yeah, so it might

354
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 4: be worth a filling here or there.

355
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 3: Is my point.

410
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: Sports is Up brought to you by Bridgeville applying someone

411
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: with you, Randy. I don't think Mike Tomlin decided after

412
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: they lost to Houston that enough is enough for the

413
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 2: time being.

414
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 4: But I'm not sure Art Rooney was aware beforehand. You

415
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,479
Speaker 4: don't know whether he was or wasn't. Correct. Yeah, I

416
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 4: don't either. I guess I wouldn't be surprised either way.

417
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 4: There were a lot of leaks of potential coaches. As

418
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 4: I said earlier months ago. A lot of times that's

419
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 4: just agents smelling blood in the water and getting that

420
00:20:59,000 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 4: news out there.

421
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, if we find out in the coming days that yeah,

422
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 2: this guy knew, and this guy knew and this guy

423
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 2: knew in the organization and they kept it quiet, I

424
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 2: would be surprised by that. But we do know this much.

425
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin went in yesterday and told Art Rooney that's that,

426
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 2: and then he told the team they had an open

427
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: locker room from one to one forty five and then

428
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 2: a team meeting right after that, and that's when the

429
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 2: team found out, and that's when the word got out.

430
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: Art Rooney, the second Steels President, issuing a statement yesterday

431
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 2: then included during our meeting today Coach Tomlin in for

432
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: me that he has decided to step down as our

433
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 2: head coach. It's hard for me to put in the

434
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 2: words level respect and appreciation I have for Coach Tomlin.

435
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 2: His track record of never having had a losing season

436
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: in nineteen years will likely never be duplicated. And of

437
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: all the things that happened in the nineteen years that

438
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin as the head coach, and all the reactions

439
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: he inspired, I'll never be able to wrap my head

440
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: around people criticizing that the nineteen year never having had

441
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 2: a losing season, saying it doesn't matter, and pushing it

442
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 2: off as a non accomplishment. It's not of the most

443
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: incredible feats in coaching history.

444
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 3: I completely agree with you.

445
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 4: Where you and I part paths is that I think

446
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 4: it's significant that his coaching tree is bare.

447
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 3: I think that's a big deal or not. I think

448
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 3: it's telling.

449
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 4: I think talent assessment will always have been his achilles heel.

450
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 3: He believed in guys or believed he was able to.

451
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 4: Perform some sort of reclamation project on guys who were

452
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 4: just past their expiration date.

453
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 2: I think that's a fair criticism. I think, and hey,

454
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: in the NFL, talent assessment is always the trick. I mean,

455
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 2: teams that win assess their talent correctly and they have

456
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 2: good talent. Teams that lose did not right. I mean,

457
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 2: you don't see a lot of non talented teams going

458
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 2: to the NFC Championship Game. But I think that was

459
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: particularly an issue in free agency and trades. You know,

460
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 2: we always talked about him playing the long game and

461
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 2: they would acquire somebody and it's all I went this

462
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: pro day at Georgia and we went out to dinner

463
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: eight years ago, or I liked them then. I think

464
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 2: he got a little too attached to people at certain times.

465
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 2: And yeah, they had the talent acquisition is what they

466
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: have to attack as an organization. Yes, if they're going

467
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 2: to get better. But one of the ways you have

468
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 2: a bad playoff record is you make the playoffs when

469
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: your quarterback options are Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, and Mason Rudolph,

470
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: and you find a way to make that work, and

471
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: then you have to go into Buffalo, or then you

472
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 2: have to go into Kansas City, or then you have

473
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 2: to go into New England, or then you have to

474
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 2: go in to wherever. Like he got some teams there

475
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 2: that probably that's as good as they were.

476
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 3: But to me again, but if you.

477
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 2: Want to win the Super Bowl, you got a better

478
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 2: team than that.

479
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 3: You can't draft Kenny Pikett at number two.

480
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 4: But okay, so who should be doing the talent evaluation?

481
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 4: That's Omar? Well, like Andy weidel Is. You know, he's

482
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 4: the number.

483
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: Two in the GM department and he is perceived as

484
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,479
Speaker 2: the talent guy. Omar rose to his curt level as

485
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 2: a cap guy.

486
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 4: But this is something that happened throughout time in the NFL,

487
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 4: and it started sort of in the parcels era where

488
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 4: these guys there were a couple of GM coaches, but

489
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 4: mostly it was like there was an personnel expertise was

490
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 4: separate from coaching, and then the parcels. If I'm cooking dinner,

491
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 4: I want to buy the groceries. Quote always stands out

492
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 4: to me.

493
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think originally it was separate because in

494
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 2: the pre salary cap days, there was a lot more negotiating,

495
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 2: and you know, finances were a bigger deal. Now everybody

496
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 2: kind of spends the same, it's just what you spend

497
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 2: them on. So you know, if Parcels went to the

498
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 2: grocery store and said I'd like file a and the

499
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: GM said, well you're getting Hamburger helper, make it good?

500
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: You know? Uh yeah, that's the Steelers have to figure

501
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: out how to get better players. But the argument that

502
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin can't coach is farcical.

503
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 4: I agree, I get you know, I had my problems

504
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 4: with with coach T, but it wasn't I wasn't a

505
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 4: lop off the head guy necessarily, so much as I

506
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 4: think he's a great guy to oversee a football organization.

507
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 4: I disagreed with some of his tactics. But uh, I

508
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 4: don't know. I'm feeling sad today, not because I feel

509
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 4: like I wished him out the door. There's an element

510
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 4: that I wanted things to change, but I don't like

511
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 4: the way that it's being painted by a lot of

512
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 4: people in Steeler Nation that.

513
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 3: That it's just not this.

514
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 4: Uniform adulation on his way out, which is what I

515
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 4: think it should be.

516
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more. And one of the things I

517
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 2: always appreciated about him. You know how much I love

518
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 2: training camp. I think Mike Tomlin loves camp more than

519
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: I did. Well, yeah, he was love sharks You did

520
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 2: I know that? I wow, Okay, yeah that's true. You

521
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 2: love Sharky's more than anyway. I put more time in

522
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 2: listening to.

523
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, well he was busier.

524
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. If attention means adulation, then you know, two thumbs.

525
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: This guy. Uh, he cared. You know the fans say

526
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: they care, he actually did. I think he cared more

527
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: than the fans cared. And he cared about coaching football.

528
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 2: He was a self described on many occasions football junkie.

529
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 2: You know, Danny Smith has said this over the years.

530
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 2: He doesn't have any hobbies. He he doesn't golf, he

531
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 2: doesn't do this. He just wants to coach special teams.

532
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 2: So he is. It's what he does. Mike tom the

533
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 2: same kind of guy. I think. I do think he

534
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 2: will be awful a TV because, as you've heard me,

535
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: if he goes there, Because as I've described him many

536
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 2: times over the years, he never meant a sentence. He

537
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 2: couldn't turn into two paragraphs, right, and TV is about brevity, Yeah,

538
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 2: and getting your point out and then moving on and uh.

539
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 2: He likes to wax poetic and hear the sound of

540
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: his own voice and use a bunch of words. But

541
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 2: I don't think this. I don't think TV is the

542
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: endgame here.

543
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 3: No, I think it will be stopgap like it was

544
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 3: for Sean Payton.

545
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,959
Speaker 2: I don't. I just for whatever reason, I think he

546
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 2: thinks he needs a reset and he's still a relatively

547
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 2: young guy in the coaching profession. Yeah, and you know

548
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 2: he could have a second career that is extensive, a

549
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 2: second chapter. Whatever you do. Yeah, I think he will.

550
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 2: I think he will, and I think he will too.

551
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 2: But Okay, Steeler fans, those of you who are celebrating,

552
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 2: you got it.

553
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 4: Tim Benz, Charlie Batch, Merril Hodge, Rob King, Jeremy Fowler,

554
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 4: who along with Adam Schefter broke the news yesterday, will

555
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 4: join us at eight forty five. Max Starks, Mark Madden.

556
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 4: We are packed to the gills with Steelers insiders talking

557
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 4: about the shocking news was shocking for me.

558
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: I'm shocked.

559
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 3: I was.

560
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 2: It was shocked, Dodgeball.

561
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 4: If we got there to that point, that would have

562
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 4: been one thing, But to have it happen less than

563
00:27:58,640 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 4: twelve hours.

564
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: You know why.

565
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 4: I was a little more than twelve hours, but you know,

566
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 4: shortly after the lost to Houston was a huge surprise.

567
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 2: It's funny because he kind of was noncommittal when he

568
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 2: was asked about his future right after the game. He

569
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 2: was and usually he slaps that down with a little

570
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 2: more authority. I didn't. It didn't really register with me

571
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 2: at the time. Did I know about Jim's p Yeah,

572
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if I.

573
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 3: Was just tired or I didn't bear.

574
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 2: I was in bed, but he just said, I'm still

575
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 2: played it yesterday. I'm still in the mindset we just lost,

576
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 2: and I haven't thought about any of that yet, which

577
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 2: usually says, hey, as long as they'll have me, I'm

578
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 2: I'm the guy, and I'm here and this is what

579
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 2: I do.

580
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 3: Uh.

581
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 2: I just thought it was late and it was an

582
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 2: incredible ass kicking.

583
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 3: It was an incredible ass kicking. That was a tough one.

584
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 4: I mean, Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin might have walked

585
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 4: out the door with that incredible ass kicking.

586
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 3: I don't think Aaron Rodgers is coming back to the

587
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 3: Steelers without my talk.

588
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 2: I don't sure he might play again, but won't be

589
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 2: give one of them wants to continue doing what they're doing.

590
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: I bet they do it, Abby, What are you talking about?

591
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: Gen Z is unplugging and it's making them happier. And

592
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: somebody decided to.

593
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 6: Write about Rod Stewart's eighty year old sex life.

594
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: Tim Bens will join us next.

595
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 4: You know, this all could have been avoided if we

596
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 4: would have brought that woman from the Jacksonville Free Press

597
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 4: up here to give him a pep talk after the game.

598
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 3: It's on Benz. Yes, Ben's had the opportunity to do it,

599
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 3: and he refused.

00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 4: years as head coach and absolute end of an era.

611
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 3: And I was pretty shocked by the news.

612
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 4: Tim Ben's brought to you by Don's Appliance joining us right

613
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 4: now from Tribal Live Sports and Benzi, where did you

614
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 4: land on the surprise scale yesterday with the news that

615
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin had decided to step down?

616
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 9: Surprised because I didn't think that he would be the

617
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,719
Speaker 9: one to throw in the towel if he thought that

618
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 9: he had any chance of competing next year, if there

619
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 9: was a next year that he thought was winnable and

620
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 9: an opportunity to do better than the year before. I

621
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 9: didn't see that as the opportunity for him to walk

622
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 9: away from his career. Like you know, there are two

623
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 9: things that could very much be at play here. I

624
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 9: mean there's the one, very pragmatic one that perhaps he

625
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 9: knew where things stood in his own mind and maybe

626
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 9: in the franchise's mine and went in and asked Art

627
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 9: if he was going to get his option picked up

628
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 9: for twenty twenty seven, and Art said, no, We're not

629
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 9: going to do that. He said, Okay, then I resign

630
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 9: that could have been one. That's the practical, pragmatic way

631
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 9: of looking at it, and then there's the other way

632
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 9: of looking at it, which there's perhaps a little bit

633
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 9: more meat on the bone. That's what I wrote about

634
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 9: this morning, which is, you know, I heard what Mike

635
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 9: said about getting the vibe that he didn't slap down

636
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 9: to talk about the future as quickly as possible and

637
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 9: the postgame press conference, but you know, I ended up

638
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 9: asking him the last question of that press conference, and

639
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 9: I got that sense too that he wasn't, as you know,

640
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 9: direct in talking about that. So I said, you know,

641
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 9: do you think you have the foundation for something that

642
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 9: could be better next year?

643
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 3: And he answered in the affirmative.

644
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 9: So I was like, all right, well, it sounds like

645
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 9: he's at least thinking about next year. I don't know

646
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 9: what it could have been in those fourteen hours that

647
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 9: made him suddenly had the epiphany that it was going

648
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 9: to be better in twenty twenty six than twenty twenty five.

649
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 9: I don't know what that could have been that made

650
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 9: him realize that.

651
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 2: So you got the last question and you ended him.

652
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:24,959
Speaker 9: I did, and me so that with the last strikeout,

653
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,239
Speaker 9: I am basically that what was the guy's name from

654
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 9: Houston Bullock, Kaylon Bullock. I's a Kaylon Bullock of Mike

655
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 9: Tomlin's career. That was my pick sixth on the way out.

656
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 9: Maybe I'll get him to sign the transcript like that

657
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 9: Houston guy said he wanted to get Rogers to sign

658
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 9: the ball.

659
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 2: Tim, I think in your pragmatic narrative, I wonder if

660
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 2: there were gonna be some massive staff changes coming, and

661
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 2: I know Mike's never been real a big fan of that.

662
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 2: Maybe he either sensed that or was made aware of that.

663
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 2: Just throwing that out there.

664
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 9: You know, he well, yeah, no, right, And again I

665
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 9: think this is we're literally talking about fourteen hours here.

666
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 9: And my thinking was, if it did come down to

667
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 9: the contract angle, that Mike knew well in advance of

668
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 9: the Houston game, probably well in advance of the Ravens game,

669
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 9: that he was going to want real quick affirmation that

670
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 9: that option was going to be picked up, and if

671
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 9: Art said no, we'll find that out maybe later today,

672
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 9: then okay, he was going to say I resigned then

673
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 9: and end of conversation. Or I think Art had every

674
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 9: intention of giving him the option and Tomlin just didn't

675
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 9: want to be here anymore. But I have a hard

676
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 9: time believing that he had some sort of epiphany or

677
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 9: you know it came to him in a dream now

678
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 9: after the Houston loss, or a nightmare after the Houston loss,

679
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 9: that this is it.

680
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 3: I'm out.

681
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 9: I mean, I just I don't think he's that reactionary

682
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 9: of a person.

683
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 4: I think it's possible he looked at a long road

684
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 4: ahead in having to rebuild with a brand new quarterback,

685
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 4: because that's likely the scenario they're going to have given that.

686
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 4: Of all the names being bandied about, have you thought

687
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 4: about a replacement that makes the most sense at this point.

688
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 9: I'm just gonna who would you say?

689
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 2: John Harble?

690
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 9: Oh, no, Celia, I had the pin wheel going the

691
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 9: right way, Tomlins to Baltimore, Harbaugh to the Steelers.

692
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 3: And rehired at the Browns. That's what I've been saying, Yes.

693
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 9: Because the Browns might do that ye backwards, but I

694
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 9: better Yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm scouring the landscape for

695
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 9: defensive coordinators who are thirty six years old.

696
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 3: That's some to them because.

697
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 2: That's how Granddad did it.

698
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 9: That's how Dad did it, That's how Art the second

699
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 9: is going to be inclined to do it.

700
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 4: There was a lot of revisionist history when coach Kuer left.

701
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 4: I remember the we enough of Coward days. I mean,

702
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 4: the Steeler fan base was not super sad that Cower

703
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 4: stepped down. Now that seems unthinkable, but at the time

704
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 4: that was actually what was happening. It was not dissimilar

705
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 4: to the case of a portion of this fan base

706
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 4: being sort of fed up with Tomlin. It never got

707
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 4: to the fire Cower point, which I hate. I think

708
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 4: that's classless, whether it's Matt Canada or Mike Tomlin. I mean,

709
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,919
Speaker 4: keep your keep the dirty laundry inside. But anyways, that's

710
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 4: just me on a soapbox. How do you think they're

711
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 4: going to look back at Mike Tomlin when it's all

712
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 4: said and done, if you look back.

713
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 9: I've actually found the cowor press conference from yesterday.

714
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 2: I tweeted it out.

715
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 9: First of all, you just got to look at it

716
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 9: to see the sweater that he pulled out that day.

717
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 3: That was Cosby special Oh my god, the Cosby Specialist.

718
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 9: It is one of the best ones he's ever had.

719
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 3: He went out and styled there.

720
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 9: But you know, I mean I kind of thought there

721
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 9: was a rece on the Cower narrative here, like you're right,

722
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 9: I mean people.

723
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 3: I think people were most fed up with Cowur.

724
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 9: Going into the new stadium, you know, after the three

725
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 9: years without a playoff berth in ninety eight through two

726
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 9: thousand and then, I.

727
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 2: Do think there was a reset with a Super Bowl point.

728
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 9: Yeah, the way I remember it was wasn't so much

729
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 9: people were fed up with him and done and wanted

730
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 9: to leave again.

731
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 2: I just think, like a.

732
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 9: Lot of people's minds was Okay, mission accomplished, and if

733
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 9: we don't want to have to do a big reboot

734
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 9: after the rocky season that followed the Super Bowl, then okay,

735
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 9: leave a good team and a good legacy behind for

736
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 9: the next guy. And hey, fortunately that happened.

737

Speaker 9: the AFC Championship Game of nineteen ninety five. And I

745
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 9: talked to the defensive backs who were in the end

746
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 9: zone to bat the ball away from Aaron Bailey to

747
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 9: send the Steelers to Super Bowl thirty.

748
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,799

750

00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Tim, did you talk to Harbaugh and did

752
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 2: he know exactly what coverage they were going to play

753
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 2: and where the blitz was gonna come from and all

754
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 2: the particulars.

00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 9: the end zone looking at the jumbo John Replace saying I.

757
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 2: Thought he caught it. I thought he caught it.

758
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 10: He did not.

759
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 9: It rolled off his tummy and the Steelers went.

760
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:44,239
