Why would you leave? You 40 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 2: have good job? Why would you leave? Our lead is 41 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 2: obviously from the land of the insert, the land of 42 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 2: the insert hours just hours after the humiliation situation in 43 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 2: a seven to six game, early fourth quarter to get 44 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: blown to bits by the Texans and a lot of 45 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 2: self inflicted wounds. The winds of chain you have blown. 46 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 2: You can almost hear them, the winds of change right there. 47 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: So maybe maybe the wind's not blowing where you are. 48 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: Possibly not so. Mike Tomlin has quit as coach of 49 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: the Steelers. He's out, Bye bye, He's gone, ending a 50 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 2: nineteen year run during which he never had a losing season, 51 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 2: never had a losing season, Mike Tomlin, And before his resignation, 52 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: Tomlin was the longest tenured head coach of a single 53 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: North American professional sports franchise. And now he's out. He's out, 54 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 2: and he's stepped down and see you later, and he 55 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: is not expected to coach anywhere in twenty twenty six 56 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: of though, who knows he wake up today and say, 57 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: ah ya, psych again, I'm gonna who really wants to 58 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: coach any of these teams that have openings? Most of 59 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: them blow anyway. It's good jumping off point. A lot 60 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: to unpack, as my Mike Tomlin has exited stage left 61 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 2: from Pittsburgh. So the question I have here is we 62 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: discussed the question why why did Mike Tomlin decide to 63 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: walk away from the Steelers. And generally when people leave jobs, 64 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 2: I say, well, they didn't leave, they were forced out, 65 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,799 Speaker 2: they were pushed, They didn't jump, they were poor pushed. 66 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 2: On this one, I don't think that's the case. Tomlin 67 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 2: did decatur leave. So my thoughts on this, I've got Tabernacle, 68 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 2: George Michael's sports machine for the Ogs, and Ron Pope 69 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: Peel and we will combine all of these things together 70 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 2: and we're gonna make some Kung pou chicken is what 71 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 2: we're gonna make. Delicious, kind little rice. Put that on 72 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: the rice, Yum yum to my tom tum right, not bad, 73 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 2: not bad, all right. So a Mike Tomlin, he did 74 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 2: not walk away in this case because of the ownership 75 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh shoveing him out the door. When Pete Carroll, 76 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 2: I remember when Pete Carroll left the Seahawks and they 77 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: spun it like it was a mutual decision. No, this 78 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: Seahucks didn't want Pete Carroll anymore. It was a mutual decision. 79 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 2: He just played nice and so this is not how 80 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: they roll in Western PA. It's not how they roll there. 81 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: They don't do that. And so this ownership group, So 82 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: what happened After a minutes long Mallard deliberation of the 83 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 2: available evidence, we weighed all of the evidence, and here's 84 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: our verdict on the Mike Tomlins story. This was a 85 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 2: customer driven divorce, is what. 86 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 5: This was. 87 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 2: Death by a thousand paper cuts, or in this case, 88 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 2: it was the Tabernacle Choir of Pittsburgh, PA. Rhythmically chanting 89 00:05:53,400 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: fire Tomlin fire, Tomlin, rhythmic chan love my rhythmic channing 90 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 2: like monks on Red Bull, rhythmically chanting, and it worked 91 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 2: over and over every time things went wrong late in 92 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 2: the season, fier timeln fire, just like that, like a 93 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 2: broken jukebox. And there you go. It's on Polka night 94 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: because I love the polka in Pittsburgh. And eventually, even 95 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 2: a steel beam will bend, Even a steel beam will bend. 96 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 2: It does happen. Yeah, there you go. Oh come on, now, 97 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 2: you haven't lived until you get some hot polka. Oh, 98 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 2: here we go, everybody, keep it up, smart sailors, all 99 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 2: his friends, stealers, Bradshaw, Yeah, update that. So they did 100 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 2: actually update it, like sixteen years or whatever, a long 101 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: time go. They did update it. So listen. That rhythmic 102 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: chanting was the moment when the fuse met the flame 103 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: and kaboom, kaboom. I thought Tomlin would be okay with it, 104 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,679 Speaker 2: and he's got thick skin and all that, but he's like, hey, 105 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 2: he decided that he didn't want to deal with and 106 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 2: it's disappointing. He should have stayed. It's a bad job 107 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 2: by him. And he looked around and he saw he 108 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 2: has options. Rich man has options. Tomlin's rich, so he's 109 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: got options, and he's like, okay, real ones. You can 110 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: live the Tony Romo lifestyle with your golf all week, 111 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: do no homework for your broadcast, show up and just 112 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 2: speak nonsense, and you get more money than the GDP 113 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: of Micronesia and the Marshall Islands to do bad television 114 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 2: and just speak cliches. They wanted it more, Hey, Jim, 115 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: both teams can win the Super Bowl, No crap, they're 116 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 2: in the playoffs, dummy. Anyway, just put the headset on, 117 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 2: smile and wink and there you go. Easy money, man, 118 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 2: easy money. Hey, even I had a TV show, How 119 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 2: hard could TV be they gave me a TV show anyway, 120 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about having answer on fourth 121 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 2: and one. Although Tomlin's the maestro of talking in these 122 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 2: big phrases and lines and metaphors and doesn't need to 123 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 2: really worry about actually answering any of that. And now 124 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 2: he will not have to worry about people throwing tomatoes 125 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 2: from the upper balcony. That will not happen. And I still, again, 126 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 2: I believe it is a mistake. Tomlin's fifty three years old. 127 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 2: In that profession. You're not that old. You're not a 128 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 2: museum exhibit in coaching when you're fifty three years old. 129 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: So like the great cyborg of years ago, the terminator 130 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 2: hit it to be back, he will be back. And 131 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 2: everyone's like, oh, he's following the Sean Payton mantra. Okay, 132 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: what is the Sean paper Well sabbatical playbook? Sabbatical playbook. 133 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 2: That's kind of the Sean Payton thing. You don't right 134 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 2: off into the sunset on a golf cart. He's not 135 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 2: doing that. So that's not happening. And a year from 136 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 2: now Tomlin will re enter the market and he'll go 137 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 2: from an Ivy League tenured professor to a trip across 138 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 2: the train tracks to the other side of the tracks 139 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 2: to the hard scrabble streets to some crap bag team 140 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 2: like the Jets, and that'll be that, right, or the Saints, 141 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 2: or you know somewhere you know, you generally don't want 142 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 2: to go as a coach because they usually stick and 143 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: that's where you're gonna end up. And so technically the 144 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 2: Steelers own Tomlin's rights because he didn't he had a 145 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 2: contract and he retired and didn't retire, he just said 146 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 2: I'm resigning. So it's a it's a little complicated, but 147 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 2: it's really not that complicated. You think the Steeler is 148 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 2: going to stand in the way of Mike Tomlin coaching 149 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: and the only argument would be, well he can't coach 150 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 2: in the division? Well, who cares? The Ravens aren't gonna 151 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: hire him, and why would you want to coach the 152 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 2: Browns of the Bengals. So you don't have to worry 153 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 2: about that. It's just a clerical situation, that's all that is. 154 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 2: A clerical situation, not a choke chain. It's not that. 155 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: And Tomlin will have the option if he wants to 156 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 2: hand pick his next job, although it won't be a 157 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 2: good job, because good jobs don't up on up. The 158 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 2: only possibility I was saying about for Tomlin that would 159 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 2: be a good job Andy Reid is he's up there. 160 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 2: He Andy Reid another bad year in Kansas City, Mahomes 161 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 2: coming off a major injury, you can get the back 162 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 2: half of Mahomes prime. If you're Tomlin, that would be 163 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 2: the job I would go for. I'd be like, Okay, 164 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: So the Steelers, the Chiefs, they're gonna have a middle 165 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: of a pack draft pick this year because they make 166 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 2: the playoffs, so they can improve the roster a little bit. 167 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: In theory, then if they have another middling year next year, 168 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 2: that's two middling years. Then Andy Reid gets pushed out. 169 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: They throw him off the cliff, and then Tomlin can 170 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 2: go to Kansas City and coach Mahomes And that would 171 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 2: be the move I would make. And Pittsburgh, what are 172 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 2: they gonna get. They're gonna get an edible arrangement of 173 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:17,239 Speaker 2: scratcher tickets. So I enjoy that. Enjoy that bone appetite, 174 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: bone appetite, all right. Now, keeping the theme of the hour, 175 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: the Hour of Tomlin, the Hour of Tomlin here, So 176 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 2: what made Mike tom here's a question what made Mike 177 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 2: Tomlin special with the Steelers, So I'll say it about this. 178 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 2: I got an angry message from Spacoli, who's a big 179 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 2: Steeler fan. I can't believe Malor wanted Tomlin to stay. 180 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 2: It's like he's lost his faith in me as a 181 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 2: talk show host because I didn't bury Mike Tomlin after 182 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: the Monday night game. And I look at Tomlin in 183 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 2: a business with clowns, as a guy that was like 184 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 2: the Starbucks or McDonald's of coaching consistency. Now I don't 185 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 2: drink coffee. My wife does You go to Starbucks? Been 186 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 2: to Starbucks all over the play and it's always the same. 187 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 2: You go to McDonald's anywhere, it's the big Mac tastes 188 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: the same it does. And the Steelers, if you look 189 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 2: at the talent, it's been almost ten years since they 190 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 2: had a real legit, big time roster in Pittsburgh. And 191 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 2: yet every year, year after year, Mike Tomlin his team's 192 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: almost never embarrassed themselves during the regular season. They almost 193 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: always overachieved based on the level of talent that they have. 194 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 2: They rarely underachieve in the regular season. And you look 195 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 2: at the flotsam and jetsum that they roll out a 196 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: bunch of spare parts on that roster, and they haven't 197 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 2: had a big time quarterback in a long time. Roethlisberger 198 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 2: sucked the last couple of years he played. People forget 199 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 2: about that because they remember the good times and they 200 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 2: block out the car accident, the sixteen car pile up 201 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 2: on the interstate. That was Roethlisberger the last couple of years. 202 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: They dragged his rotting carcass out there and played quarterback 203 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 2: for the Pittsburgh Sinities. So he was bad, and yet 204 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 2: tom was able to mold them into nine ten eleven 205 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 2: win teams year after year. To me, that's real coaching. 206 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 2: That's roll up your sleeves coaching. I appreciate that. In 207 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 2: a business that has Mike McDaniel doing whatever the hell 208 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: he was doing in Miami and like doing a podcast 209 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 2: about coffee beans is something welled coaching the dolphin. So Tomlin, 210 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 2: the master polisher, polished a lot of turds, a lot 211 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 2: of turds in Pittsburgh, turning some junkyard rosters into playoff teams. 212 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 2: And then, of course in January we all know the story. 213 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 2: He's now tied with Marvin Lewis for playoff ineptitude and 214 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 2: those teams that overachieved during the regular season in Pittsburgh, 215 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 2: they went up against elite competition in playoff games, and 216 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 2: the Steelers it was like a vampire at sunrise. It 217 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 2: doesn't go well. You start sizzling, and then the team 218 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 2: starts smoking a little bit and you're getting cinerated. And 219 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: that was the Steelers year after year in the playoffs, 220 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 2: just like your favorite vampire movie. Or if you want 221 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 2: a different analogy, how about the Jenga tower, right, the 222 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 2: Jenga tower and it all collapsed, everything fell apart. Now, 223 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 2: another question about Mike Tomlin the Hour of Mike Tomlin 224 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 2: here on the Ben Maler Show on Fox Sports Radio. 225 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 2: What are we going to miss about Mike Tomlin during 226 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 2: his little coaching sabbatical from the NFL. So this one 227 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 2: is easy. He's a staple Tomlin of the holiday season. 228 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin was a mench on the bench, a mensch 229 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 2: on the bench, a walking, talking quote machine. And now 230 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 2: he wasn't at the level of Jerry Jones. Jerry's in 231 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 2: the league all by himself. He's in a different galaxy. 232 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 2: Jerry Jones with the Dallas Cowboys. However, Mike Tomlin, while 233 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: he didn't reach that circus level like they have in 234 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: Jerry's world, Tomlin did feed the George Michael sports machine 235 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 2: week after week. It was great. The man Tomlin was 236 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 2: a Rolex with the microphone in a coaching profession that 237 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 2: has a lot of Cassio's these days, a lot of them. 238 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: Right. 239 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 2: He was smooth, shiny, debonair and always always spitting out 240 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 2: those tomlinisms, and whether it was the one he's most 241 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 2: known for, the standard is the standard, which is Shakespearean 242 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 2: with a whistle and a clipboard. Now some of our favorites. 243 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 2: I went back through my notes because I love Tomlin 244 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: because of the sound bites as a talk show host, 245 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: I can't get it off of Tom. So Tom after 246 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 2: the Steelers would play a tough game, or when they 247 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 2: would play a tough game and the lead up to 248 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 2: a tough game, excuse me, in the lead up to 249 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 2: a tough game, Tomlin would say, we don't run from challenges. 250 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 2: We run two challenges, which is it's thick bullcrap. 251 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 6: But I liked it the. 252 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 2: Way he said it was very convincing, and I liked it. 253 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 2: After the Steelers would have a bad loss, he would 254 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 2: say something along the lines we have no we make 255 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 2: no excuses, we seek no comfort. We didn't play well, 256 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 2: we didn't coach well. We had that famous drop this 257 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: season about the fans in Pittsburgh when Tomlin said, we 258 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 2: want them to be fat and sassy and spoil it 259 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 2: is our job. That was a great tomlinism that he said. 260 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 2: I believe it was this year and his final night 261 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 2: as coach of the Steelers when they got absolutely mollywopped 262 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 2: by the Texans in the fourth quarter. His final night, 263 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin said, we when you don't get it done, 264 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: words are cheap. Either do or you don't. And with 265 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 2: that Mike Tomlin channeled porky Pig and said that's all folks, 266 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 2: And the next day he quit. All right, now, last word, 267 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 2: So we have a job opening, something that hasn't happened 268 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 2: in a while. And the question is where do the 269 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 2: Steelers go? Where does the Steelers job rank among NFL 270 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 2: coaching gigs. We'll get later on on who these Steelers 271 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 2: will likely go after, but right now, where does that 272 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 2: job ranked? Or are a gazillion jobbo over well over 273 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 2: twenty five percent? Now the jobs in the NFL nine 274 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 2: gigs opened up. So where does the Steelers job rank? 275 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 2: Where does it rank on the big board? Not a 276 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 2: list Terry in England. This is a big board, big board, 277 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 2: Benny's big board, not a list. Where does the Steelers 278 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 2: job rank among the open NFL gigs? So this is 279 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 2: if you go to the hotel. This is not the 280 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: room near the elevator sandwiched on the It's got the 281 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 2: elevator on one side, the ice machine on the other. 282 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 2: This is not that. This is the presidential suite with 283 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 2: the robe and complimentary slippers included. Yeah. Yeah, they got 284 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 2: a hot tub in the room. Okay, That's what I'm 285 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 2: talking about here. And do they have a franchise quarterback? 286 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 2: Hell no, they don't. That's the amazing part. Is the 287 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 2: roster that good? No, it's not. It's like a garage sale. 288 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 2: That roster A lot of has beens, some nobody non achievers. 289 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 2: You got some underachievers on that team, some washed up, 290 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 2: overpaid players. So it's flotsam and jetsam that they have 291 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 2: on that roster. So why is this job, Dino might? 292 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 2: Why is it dynamite? Because in Pittsburgh the coach gets 293 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 2: a lot of oxygen and there's no small which is 294 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 2: weird because Pittsburgh had a big pollution problem for a 295 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 2: long time. Anyway, you get to breathe, there's no owner 296 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 2: hovering like a helicopter parent at a Little League baseball 297 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 2: game and the Roonies they run that place like a 298 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 2: ron Polpio infomercial. It's the ron co coach omatic is 299 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 2: what it is. In Pittsburgh. Hire a coach, you plug 300 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 2: the thing in, and you set the what you might 301 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 2: call it, and you walk away, set it and forget it. 302 00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 2: That's what they do. Simplicity, simplicity. Now we'll see if 303 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 2: that's the case once the Steelers hire the wrong coach 304 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 2: and then start losing ten plus games a year, and 305 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 2: we'll see if that pattern continues. But for now, you'd 306 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 2: say it's like going into the kitchen and what you've 307 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 2: got the pressure cooker because you want something quick. And 308 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,479 Speaker 2: then that's most NFL jobs, the pressure cooker. And then 309 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh you got the slow cooker. You just put 310 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 2: all the stuff in there and you set it, and 311 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 2: you know, I sit in the morning when you go 312 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 2: to work, and you come back and you got some 313 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 2: slop that you can eat, and you can eat. Yeah, yeah, 314 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 2: low heat, long runway, all that stuff. Get the bag 315 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 2: of groceries and there you go. So good good luck 316 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 2: to the Steelers. And it sounds like they did a lot 317 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 2: to talk about them hiring a college coach. I think 318 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 2: you got to go younger, right, you want the guy 319 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 2: to you know, the last ten plus years. You don'tt 320 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 2: to hire a guy in his sixties, So you gotta 321 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 2: hire somebody. I'll be in their forties or early fifties 322 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 2: would be be the move. Tom Everon, when I was 323 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 2: talking to the harmon in here and he was leaving 324 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 2: and I was like, yeah, I'm at the point now. 325 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 2: I remember coming in here. We were across the hall 326 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 2: talking when Tomlin got hired as coach of the Steelers, 327 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 2: were like, who the F's this guy?
